Permanent Rausch Creek thread

And that advice is how you get to drive home lol

Being open/open:

I'll give a line a few tries before I pick a new one, while braking and accelerating through.

I got stuck a few times Sunday, but didn't need a tug at least!

 

From what I read in the link above, the ATrac controls the braking of the wheels to give power to the ones not spinning. What you say is in accordance with the link.

 

On a slight hill so that it can roll with the wheels straight, without skinny pedal.

Mine would not want to disengage on occasion for the first year or two. It does not like to be ignored, and works better with frequent use.

 

Gotcha. Yeah man, I feel like I tried every freaking combination. Rolling seemed to work like you said. I definitely have not been ignoring it! I've wheeling 4 times now since Jan 1! Love it.

 

Well don't I feel silly now

 

Sorry I hope I didn’t sound like a dick. It’s hard to tell on the internet but I was just letting you, not trying to make you feel silly or stupid.

 

No worries, I'm a complete idiot by default.

 

I would think that installing a front locker would make the A-trac useless, as both front would drive when locked, but the A-trac looks for spin with a wheel to apply brakes. Not like a mechanical true track, or the quadratrac.

 

True when your locked and have traction the computer won’t need to do anything. But if you don’t lock it you’d still have a trac when needed.

 

You're making a front locker sound like too much of a good thing.

I'll keep the ability to steer with the A-trac, and if I need to lock the front, then it should be easier in a Dana 60.

 

Saw me tagged. Just for accuracy, the only "black" I ran was the powerline hill climb. That should not be a black. Did tougher blues the same day. With that said, I wish people would just wheel and stop waiting until some arbitrary level of equipment on their truck. The only reason I don't wheel right now is cuz my bump stops are way too short now and I will bottom out my new shocks, plus I have holes in my frame - especially right at the hangers. So until those are addressed, no wheeling. But if legitimate concerns are not a problem, just wheel. If anyone pressures you to do stuff you aren't comfortable with, tell 'em no.

 

@El Dahs always pressures me

 

Preach!

 

You like it...

 

I just like changing shit on my truck and seeing the results.
Plus trying harder trails. @El Dahs has definitely made me up my game with his "I'll try it" demeanor.

 

he gives no fuks. he gives her the onion instead

 

need one still

 

The rest of you NOOBS get red. I went full stealth.

 

but but but... i go stealth too.
