Way to get $hit done man, no foolin around with you. I hope those chevy leafs do well for you, hopefully there is an RTI at the event.


I get a kick out of how much room the front tire has and how little room the back tire has, lol. I know, it works, so good, roll with it.

yeah the rear was never really a problem before, the tires flex into the tub but not the lip of the 1/4. But now with the chevy springs, the tires touch the lip so trimming is in order

 

[CheapThrillB2]

Well the rear is a problem now, they flex much better and now get into the rear and started carving up my TSL's

Trip went well, carnage at the moment
1st Day
broke the grille off the truck in the first couple hours
Lots more body damage
2nd Day
Raining so i had my full door on and with the window down i pivoted on the door against a tree and exploded the glass, also broke the outside dorrhandle and the door wouldn't close after that. Pulled the door off then later pivoted aain and caught the b pillar pretty bad
Smashed the pass. door and now the window won't roll up all the way.
bent my exhaust which pinched it off, unbolted the glass pack to flow exhaust again but the cats are bent up and shoot exhaust right at the floorboard under the pass. seat
and at the end of the trip the RF broke.

only thing i care about is the Hub the rest is meaning less to me

the winch got a hell of a workout, but never to recover me. Their was a spot at the bottom of a hillside in the woods really off camber and extremely muddy, had to pull cable several times to clear the trail of other rigs stuck and sliding off the trail and out of the way.

How is that twisted trails? Do you need insurance on your rig? I don't insure my pig because its trail only and some parks wants insurance and all that.

not sure, but i have insurance on mine even though its a trail rig. Its not plated however. I carry insurance on it cause my policy will cover accidents on/off road. If i roll my truck and i or a passenger get hurt, they will be covered. :icon_thumby:

started clearancing for the rear tires......tht trip to TT really tore up my RR tire when it got stuffed. Really ripped up the oter lugs of the TSL's. But i have retty much taken care of that problem now. Now i just need to finish it up and it'll just about be ready for another trip back out to TT this coming weekend.

Insurance is NOT needed. RB

going back to twisted trails this saturday......plan on running that holey moley trail this time.




At twisted trails i bent up my exhaust to the point of blocking it off completely. When i started it, the gases were blasting out the donuts and manifold to head gaskets. So i crawled under and unbolted my glasspack. Didn't look it it was bent enough to restrict it 100$ though

until i got home and looked inside the glasspack

 

[Evan]

What is that crap?

 

[CopyKat]

I think your cats plugged....................................






























































the muffler.

 

[Dishtowel]

I think the glass pack couldn't' hack it and got tore up and *almost* shit out. :icon_thumby:

 

[Not All There]

now thats a packed pipe haha

 

[CheapThrillB2]

its wood.....i backed down on a stump which stopped the truck and bent the pipe......stuffed the glass pack with wood.

 

[Dishtowel]

I did that once, with mud. Killed it dead.

[CheapThrillB2]

yeah the motor really doesn't like it when you 100% restrict exhuast flow

my first thought when i heard the gasps of air was i blew a tire or two.....took a few secs of looking at stuff before i realized what i did.
