Chandler's Battleship of Doom

Parks don't count sweatheart

 

If it's good it's good

 

Fake tits don't equal real tits

 

I can have fun either way, guess you're "different"

 

Tits are tits. Who cares. They all make you happy.

 

Until they pop

 

I feel the same.

 

Changing rear axle up or keeping it and getting new gears?

 

Too wide for the trailer

Still glad, had someone run a stop sign in front of me and I plowed into him. Insurance paid for a new bumper

Well first I need gears, so monday ill call ecgs and get that sorted. New axle will likely happen, just need to get all my ducks in a row before I make a decision.

 

Dang when did that happen?! I missed that update... Glad you're all good.

Any pics of the damage? I'm curious because there aren't too many pics of these bumpers in accidents and I have the same one.

 

Well went out for some wheeling today at moonlight racing, Only been once before and it was a group outing so I didn't get to see much of the park. I made it a point to see everything it had to offer, ran most of the trails besides the hard ones because they are clearly made for buggys/rock bouncers. Ended up getting off camber into a tree so I used the winch to pull my ass end around to avoid any body damage, the hill after this point made my body damage concern moot. The hill was pretty steep and most of the stuff has been loose for the day to I locked the rear before even trying it out without, passenger rear caught the large root and the rear end didn't care much for that so it popped right away. It was a pita getting the truck up without any power of its own, it took every bit of the winch doubled back to get it over the ledge.

A jeep showed up and helped me get the truck up to the top giving my winch a break taking turns with his, even after on a slight incline he had trouble pulling me the rest of the way. But got to work pulling the drive shaft while he used my air to fill up, thankfully the top of this hill was right at the state highway. Jumped in the truck and started to drive and the truck made a loud pop and jolted the entire truck, I thought I had broke a CV so I checked both and thankfully were fine. Drove again and kept happening so I made a few phone calls and @G.T. offered assistance along with @MO Tacoma to trailer her home, I drove the truck to the main highway about 11miles away and I had no idea what would happen with how loud the rear diff was popping and clicking but I made it somewhere better to get picked up with reliable cell service so thats what matters.

Tomorrow I get to pull the diff and see whats going on and get it ready for another 3rd, gotta love it

 

It was back when I went to Washington/oregon for work in Dec/2015, the only thing that happened to the bumper was bending the recovery point over. @geekhouse23 bought that bumper off of me

 

your diff is going to be full of metal , same shit happened to me this winter and i had to get pulled 6 miles to the main road (so yours should be worse). My diff was fucked over real bad, and it took me like 3-4 hours to clean all of the metal out of the axle housing.

 

Not what i want to read just before tearing it apart

 

I took multiple hand fulls of that shit out then had to use a putty knife and magnet to get all the small pieces out

 

Time for one of these...

Damn.

 

Not sure what I'll end up with, I was pretty set on a stearling rear and was set of staying with the 8 lug since the front would have been done about the same time and would be no issue but a 8 lug rear and 6 lug front is an issue

getting the gears replaced so I wont be exactly pressed to get the rear end swap done asap so I'll have some time to see what I'll end up with

 

Come pick up the Dana I have and get to work

 

Yeah I need to just commit to the swap and be done with it, maybe after may/june
