Friday Night Offroading (3-26-10)

thats normal

 

Its not the common shifting noise that we all hear. ^^

 

I have to shift into drive. Move forward about 25 ft. Stop. Shift into neatural, drive backwards, and it makes it anywhere between 10-30 ft of driving back. I saw a thread on TTORA about loose lower control arms on 05s with similar sounds/symptoms but my noise sounds like its coming from the rear end of the truck or the middle, not the front suspension. I gotta check my LCAs out tomorrow.

 

maybe ujoints, mine would only make sounds when moving at any speed.

before i modded my driveshaft i would get a clunk when i came to a stop, it was my ujoints.

 

ha you lucky guy who works at BB, i worked at Circuit City for 3 years as a installer in the roadshop.

 

check the ujoints, my rear joints were done. basiclly they fell apart when they pulled them out. you can call je reel and tell them what you feel. i have ujoint from a full size chevy that have grease fittings on them. you can see it at mod day

found that site. symptoms sound just like mine. Ill have to check them out tomorrow.

 

Mine did the same. Turns out it was my brakes.

 

lol. WTF? how?

 

Yea even i was surprise... I took my truck to the dealer about the noise and they told me it was because i needed new brakes i didnt bealive them so i went home changed them the nxt day and the noise is gone lol

 

Hmm. Well my truck only has 11k miles on it so that possibility is gone. But Im probably gonna take it to the dealership to maybe get it qualified under warranty

 

Yea take it in to get it cheked up... I dought the brakes is ur problem in this case cuzz you only have 11k miles

 

You only have 11k miles damn son.
I have 61K

 

I'm gOing to bed children

night all

 

Lytle Creek huh ? You know its closed at the end right ?

Were you guys gonna take one of the other trails that connect from Lytle Creek to Lone Pine, or Swarthout Canyon Rd ?

There is a really nice spot near the end of Lytle Creek would be cool to have a bunch of Tacos hang out and maybe throw a little bonfire and throw back some cold ones before hitting the trail towards Wrightwood..

If you guys are serious about this run count me in

 

We are definitely serious. Just a matter of finding a good trail. I haven't been offroading in lttle creek since I flipped my ranger a few years ago offroading there. Ruler, are there any semi hard trails or is it all just fireroads up there?

 

you had a rranger? howd you flip it?

 

I was my first truck. I had it from 16 to 18. I was offroading in lttle creek. Finished up and was heading down a dirt road coming down the mountain. Maybe doing like 20 mph. Went around a turn and my bfg km's just lost traction. The road was like cleghorn. Mountain on one side cliff on the other. I went up the side of the mountain and rolled over onto my side landing in the road. If I would have went over the cliff I woulda been toast.

 

Holy shit thats nuts dude.

 

^I hope your not suggesting drinking and driving while on the trail at night? Because that's what it sounds like.
