Well it I guess it's safer than the trucks from Maine

 

That truck's from Massachusetts too! Cheshire, to be specific!

You might have pegged it right there. Bad ball joints will make a popping noise when you turn the wheel, more so if you put them under the strain of a tight corner like a U-turn. I wouldn't be surprised if that was where your noise came from, especially if they're rusty or dry.
Check the rest of the front end parts for play, obviously, but I suspect your problem lies with the Camburgs. If it's not that, my next guess would be sway bar bushings/links.

 

Lol. That's too funny. I just had searched this

 

Saw a pretty nasty accident on 495 NB around exit 27 a-b...

Same kind of mazda Ari has got FUCKED up!

Only reason I post here is there was a built sand colored third gen with one of those low profile racks that goes from cab to bed.

 

There's definitely lots of them. I've had 4-5 that have succumbed to cancer in the past.
Goddamn Calcium Chloride they put on the roads up here just eats steel.

 

Here is what I got.

 

The Rubicon is going to be stiffer/firmer but should also give just under an inch lift

 

Check your TRE's too.

 

So today I got to really test my crawler it worked awesome! Idled up everything that didn't require a bump.

Well maybe it worked a bit to well, I got hung up and the spotter advised a bump would get over the rock in the bottom picture, and it would have had both my Front CVs not exploded...

 

Man that sucks. Did you get it out ok?

 

Yea winched it out popped the boots off with channel locks and pulled the shafts out drove home at 70mph no problems. Gota go to autozone and try to warranty the shafts lol.

 

Time for a real axle gears are awesome though best upgrade IMO. Where did you go ?

 

Got to tear into the bike today, try to get my signals working so I don't have to use my hands and can actually get it inspected this year. Well, turns out previous owners have hacked up the wiring a lot more than I originally thought... I found a new/used harness on eBay, no more chasing wires, going to replace the whole damn thing. Some people should not be allowed to do wiring.

 

Plymouth I think we ended up in the trails in Kingston though. Not sure on the status of those trails I was told they were legal and there were 3 other groups we ran into. Some good stuff back there I just can't find any info on it.

 

Hoping to do a real axle soon lol

 

Went to the gun show at the Shriners in Wilmington with my mom today. Got the last pieces to complete my AR, including two pre ban mags

 

Check your TRE's too.

 

Sweet besides the carnage

 

Any of you guys know any powder coating shops that a are semi reasonable? The local one to me in Clinton get $700 for 4 wheels. Seems a little much just for my extra set of wheels.
