XPOTRPR build & BS

So, all this talk about CV's going out. How often do they need to be replace. The only reason I hate about getting a 4x4 is worrying about the CV's breaking.

 

It's not that common of a thing.. And if your serious.. And that was your reasoning for not getting a 4wd before.. You're doing it wrong..

I just have higher CV angles than most due to my Kings being adjusted how they are. I'm still ok with it, because they aren't too bad to replace, don't happen too often, they aren't too expensive, and I still prefer my clearance during compression.

 

This work for 1st gens ?

I blew my CV this weekend too !! What a quawinkadinkle CV mod day

 

I'd assume so but not for sure. When you call them the woman that answers isn't the nicest sounding lady but doesn't hurt to call

 

ask Eric.. he will know!

nice. lets do this then! let me know when you're down. I'll help ya out buddy

 

I'll go to cv day so I can do my suspension

 

YES!!

 

I was thinking of doing a silver stormtrooper version of your build.....

 

Storm troopers aren't silver you nut. I would do a AT-AT build, also did you get your frame plates on this weekend?

 

not sure. just now bein thrown out there. lol

 

The reason I didn't get 4wd before is I didn't know any better at 22 yrs old. I also didn't have time to shop as my car had been totaled from being rear ended. If I had people like you to talk to, then I would probably have gone the 4x4 route. This time I knew better than to stick with 2wd. I love 4wd and would not go back if given the opportunity.

As far as the cv issue. I just keep hearing about people ripping boots, or having to replace the CV's all together. Maybe it's me paying more attention to that part and thinking it's more of an issue than it really is. 4x4 noob questions.

 

it just comes from wear and tear..to much angle, it puts stress on the boots and the fins actually wear through themselves. both of mine, although the fins do rub, were from just wear. Looks almost like dry rot. they crack and then tear.

 

I know Q went a good while with a torn boot.

 

Oh really...



Did you not look in my build?

 

hell yea i did i wheeled for like 2 months on a blown CV if that stops you from wheeling you're a pussy

 

it only counts if it's from the OG
and no I have not swung by your build page I was camping

Lol this guy..

 

Well Josh has a blown motor, so everything else is irrelevant

 

its just a hairdryer duct taped to the intake.. I run a long extension cord from the outlet in the bed..
