Wyoming B.S. Thread

Every pullout on togowotee is crammed with these guys, most of them with 25k into their sled 30k into a customized 4-6 place enclosed snowmobile trailer and 105k into a platinum edition modded out "I bro harder than you," 1 ton diesel. 250K rolling down the road at a whack with Casper or Minnesota plates. Like WTF do they do for a living?

 

I emailed them for a quote on Saturday, they're probably not working since its presidents day, but if you've had a good experience I"ll probably go that route, especially since I'm in Denver all the time.

 

do you have to supply your old ones as a core?

 

Per konstas recomendation...napa is the way to go. orileys are shittier, and the napa shafts have the lifetime warranty



also...plane tickets bought, going on my first real "vacation" since i moved to jackson. End of april, off to see NY for a couple days then punta cana in the DR for a week for GF's sister's wedding. Pretty stoked to get to see NYC for the first time, and going to an all inclusive resort on the beach lol. Gonna be a sweet break from winter.

 

I would be more apt to use the cheap ones if I was driving it more, but the only reason I'm replacing them now is I'm doing the lower ball joints and I don't want to be constantly retorqing and red loctiteing the lower four ball joint bolts.

 

Nice!

 

well two votes for napa

 

wait..so nothing is wrong with them?

two for CVJ as well. Whatever works.

 

the inner boot on the left one is leaking a little grease and I'm getting an odd vibration when in 4wd over 60mph. They've got 190k on them and will remain as trail spares. You wheel way harder than I do and if CVJ's havent failed you they shouldn't fail me and $300 is a price point I can swallow. I figure if I do the whole front end now I shouldn't have to touch it again for at least another 5 years.

 

@Blackdawg does cvj require a core?

 

I love snowmobiles and can't possibly afford to get into them.

 

Debt=possible. Just tell them what payment you can afford and they make it happen. You just sign and drive. #Murcia
What's not to love????? I mean I'm struggling to find a downside here. They want you to have what you want. It's a win win.

 

It would literally be a 120k investment for my family of four and then we would look so lame showing up in a 1/2 ton pickup with a standard cargo trailer...I mean is it even worth going if you don't look cool rolling up into the turn out?

 

The ones I really don't understand are the ones who buy a new top of the line sled every year, then sink another 15 grand into it, then take a 30-40% loss at the end of every season when they sell it.

 

I was thinking the same thing this weekend. Trying to add up how much their modified diesel truck, 6 place trailer, and 6 new sleds would cost.

Yes, you need OEM cores. I had some spares, so just traded them when I picked them up.

 

Nah brohiem. Got to get the goods first then you can go

I somewhat understand that though. To them it's their hobby so money isn't really a consideration. Cost of doing what you love.

 

Every now and then I do see 1st gen tacoma bro, headed down the road like a speed boat with a 15 year old sled barely half stuffed into the bed of his truck, i guess I can have something to aspire to

 

Any idea what the core charge might be if you want to hang on to your current axles?

 

Also to anyone tech savy-ier than I, why does my sig pic show up on the computer, but not on my Iphone.
