haha you offered first its your bumper

 

High clearance rear + 6" lift + short bed taco = never ever hit your bumper on anything

 

but will that high clearence rear keep you from breaking everything on your front end again? lol

 

Hahaha thats a whole other issue I have to address. Ardbeg taught me that going on a 10 hour offroad expo, and beating the shit out of stock suspension components that have 200,000km on them is not a good idea.

You guys running around with your upgraded springs, shocks, bushings and bearings and im over here almost completely stock in my front end except for the drop brocket and a set of 5100s. No wonder my shit exploded when I got back

The sad part isnt even the broken bearing/leaky axle, its the god damn $180 ABS sensor that shit itself when the bearing balls came lose and knocked it around.

Many tears will be shed pulling out the ol' credit card to pay for a $180 sensor the size of a damn quarter. I cri

 

im on 5100s too. im suprised my shit isnt broken.

 

Are your wheel bearings/ball joints all stock/have they ever been changed?

 

new front bearings a few months ago. but besides for that everything is stock

 

God I hope no one ever rear ends you haha.

 

Right on, the new bearings definitely was a good choice.

My blown drivers side wheel bearing caused ALL the problems I just described.

- The inner ball bearings came lose and destroyed the ABS sensor.
- The massive amount of play on the wheel caused the oil seal in the CV to be torn slightly and leak
- CV Axle seal plate was bent/damaged by me trying to remove it to repair the oil seal

So if I had of had new bearings like you all of this could of been avoided. Ahh well I know for future anyways.

 

Rear end? With all that height they wont be hitting my rear end at all. Theyll be smashing right into my diff haha

 

and your rear end will be going into their windshield.

 

R.I.P driver

When I got in that accident last year and totaled my Mazda B4000, I hit a guy in a ford transit and because of the height difference of my front vs his rear, my whole truck basically drove into the back trunk/storage area of his vehicle.

My truck went into the back of his vehicle so far cause of the height diff, that it damaged my transmission which is more center of the underside of those trucks and not near the front. Both vehicles totaled.

 

Pass me the keys

 

I feel like you could be given a tank and someone would say bet you can't break it and you'd find a way to do so.

 

What if I tell you...



















Stop changing profile pictures!
At least we know if shit survives after my usage, it's good lol.
It's like a crash test

 

What if I tell you...






























No

 

I would also suggest to look into trailers with RTT on it.
It will be around the same price as the tray and you can use it with the other vehicles or hook it up to another truck if yours breaks, etc.
Plus, no more weight issue!

 

Is Minden a really muddy area? It's suppose to rain on Saturday.

 

I've honestly been looking at them.
when we went for labour day I remember seeing one.

But not sure how difficult it would be to get down to our camp spot
