Orange County CAF's: up to no good

Can you take pics of the suspension in the front and rear? So we can see the problem?

 

Antonio, I LOVED how you put it, "hey, hey, don't go anywhere yet?! You gotta pay for the damages first...!!!"

 

x2

 

I wish i would have had my go.pro on ... he picked the biggest boulder to try and go over haha... and when he backed up and looked at it normal not all flustered he went up no problem ... all about picking you line

 

And some ass took us all thru the toll road

 

So do i hahaha

 

Yea for sure

Yea for sure. So we actually didn't even get to the rear, due to the extent of time it took to install in the front we didn't even get to the back. But here are some pictures of the front:


I can't see any apparent signs of an issue. Nothing appears to be rubbing, you can see that the tire crooks a little inward on the left, Not sure if that is. an alignment issue.

What the issue I experience is when I turn I need to turn very slowly otherwise I hear a loud screeching from the tires? And when I drive it almost sounds like something is making contact with metal, not like a rattling, as if something were loose but almost as if something was striking somewhere.

Any Ideas?

 

Do you think that is relating to the metal contact sound?

 

And THAT right there Danny is EXACTLY what was going through my mind!!! I just, clearly, 1) wasn't thinking or 2) HIGH lack of inexperience?! I CAN tell you I was pretty PI$$ED after a few tries at it and especially when @Nicklovin Nick said that he was only 2wd and he got up it fine. It wasn't that THAT irritated me, it was just the overall situation in itself like throwing Mother Earth at Antonio even though basically not to worry, I still felt bad, at the time and still even now!!! Anyways, I don't know how else to say it other than that? But yeah, I'm DONE beating the shi* outta my truck, which is why I won't do fast desert wash runs anymore!!! I'm more into the stuff like we did last night, but mannnnn that was a major BITC*, LOL!!!

I LOVE that trail though and if you ever want to go, I have no problem going again!!!

 

Btw thank you for the loaner ... i think im going to do antena and cb radio .... looks like its the way to go ... what do you think

 

Sounds good

 

Me, "I say go for it." Some people ditch the CB and do nothing but HAM, but again, with me, it's all about multiple forms of communications!!! Or, pretty lame example I know, but I also look at it like this, it is ALWAYS better to know more than just ONE language!!! I ENVY people that know 2x or more languages even if they aren't fully fluent, still, they know WTF they're saying when it comes down to it!!! Anyways, the CB isn't all that terribly expensive and the Baofeng radios are CHEAP (pricewise), so it's not like getting a cheap HAM radio is going to throw you over the edge!!! Anyways, that's just my 2cents on the matter and other people have theirs and I respect that.

No problem btw. I can help you with the install and tuning if you want? First, whether it is a CB or HAM mobile unit, figure out WHERE you want/would like to install it!!! Alot of people overlook this and are in a bind on how/where to install it, after the fact of buying the radio.

 

$100 is about right for a basic CB setup!

 

I have the Firestone Destination AT, which I like quite a bit, but the size is like a 235/75R15, which is the biggest for stock. The rims are, I believe 6in rims, which is why I want to buy, eventually, 7.5in rims (or close to that) and throw on some 31 10.50's. I'm NOT going to put a 31 10.50 on a 6in rim. Some people do, but NOT me!!! Anyways, yeah, "pizza cutters".

 

Oh that was me telling you to gun it, hahaha it worked didn't it. That's how I breezed over it, well that and I rode the wall

Nah this was a different area, where I got stuck was before we hit the peak coming from the Ortega. Where he was last night was on Indian Truck trail, although honestly I don't remember t being bad

So we're invoicing that to you right

That & I skinny pedaled up it half riding the wall

 

Here are my only pics. I WISHED I had thought about the towers???!!!

The pics came out pretty good thanks to @MotoEd Ed for teaching me some things.






I MAY have video of Ed and the boulder??? I had my GoPro running, but don't know yet if he is in frame?

 

I HAVE video of @MotoEd Ed and his rock, LOL!!! I just have to edit it???

 

I'm still confused...

 

That boulder was only bumper high. Stupid how it wedged it's self between my front skid and cross member. Gay. Ohh well more of a reason to go full skids underneath so I can just slide over those bumper high boulders.

 

You were so damn lost when i showed frkm the back of the pack hahaa
