Because We're Not North Enough To Be NOVA, We're Just Stuck Between the North and the True South

You don't say! What thread is this you speak??? You are right though, assuming I have enough height for it, its worth trying it out sooner or later.

 

no ballz

 

ha not by me i can't even drive. However, it would perhaps be prudent to really test it at pott's which would give you like 3 leggs up on some others around here and to do it with your installer so he can see all his hard work in action

 

Gotta give credit where credit is due!

Mike would you hit it if you had full skids?

 

No doubt. That's what I bought it for. Forget I've been to rausch without skids and probably wont ever do that again.

 

Only difference between luck and skill is repeatability. And I haven't been back yet. So at this point it was merely luck.

 

I at least have more faith than that leaving for pt

 

I just want to make sure Im educated enough for that run. If the guys who have run it think I got a shot, then I am willing to try till Im forced to turn around. I don't have any extra CVs or tie rods is my fear.

 

Sounds like a party. I like to party.

I just know him as the waving guy in the black Charger...

Yup... forgot you met him. You think he'd maintain his composure?

I'm not a new wheeler. If he was to tell me no, I wouldn't try it. If he told me I'd be good, I'd go for it. If he told me I might be good, but I might seriously fuck something up and/or end up with some new bodywork, I'd listen and make my decision on my own.

I keep hearing this. Which keeps making me curious.

 

You got 1/4in skids man, you are good at whatever you want to throw at it

 

No worries, not talking about you. Its newer guys not listening to advice from someone who's been around the block a few times.

 

This is the farthest north I've ever lived.

 

I figured you weren't. It happens to me too with some of my friends. I spend and have spent a pretty good amount of time off road. I still get some of my friends that don't want to listen, but then want me to help them out when they end up in a situation they wouldn't have been in if they had listened to me.

 

This, plus the possibility of serious mechanical "modifications"

 

Dammit.

 

When I went I had 2 spare cv's, a full spare driveshaft, spare hub assemblies, tie rods, and u joints. Just in case.

 

This is what I mean by not being prepared. From my LT swap, dude I would hate to have to swap a cv on the trail. Im not sure if paracord was my friend although he got it done.

 

Lot more friendly than an $80 slide hammer

 

You think so though? I would of thought with the right slide hammer it might be an easier process?

 

An easier way to smash the shit out of your finger/hand. I have never been a fan of that method. I was just tired when doing yours so I didn't have enough pull left in me.
