Do those rims already have weights on them? Upper right hand corner?

 

Well, I had a little fun at Citrus today...but I made a crap ton of work for myself do to a temporary intelligence deficit. LeeMar has the photo evidence of that particular brain fart. The damage toll was one trashed radiator, a flooded passenger floorboard, and I ended up breaking my last factory CV axle. The good news is though, I did not break the Napa CV axle, so I'm hopeful that means they are a bit more durable than the average after market CV.

Oh, and @allenfab the new recovery points worked great!

Here's the only shots I got...

 

Take that locker out

 

No. If I took the locker out, I wouldn't have made it up the sand hill we went up later.

 

Besides, when you see the video of the sketchy stunt I performed when I broke the damn thing, you'll wonder how I didn't break everything, haha. @Key-Rei @LMarshall73

 

It's not an official outing unless Lee breaks something lol! #MissionComplete

 

Hey, now, I've survived a lot of Citrus trips without breaking anything. I didn't break anything at the last Annual Meet.

 

Lee breaks almost every trip out

 

I know it seems that way, and I'll grant you I've probably broken shit more than not, but that's because I'm pushing my truck to the limit to see what it's capable of.

 

Well apparently your cv joints are your limit

 

And yet look what my truck can do with out them. Also, I find it intriguing that the factory CV broke and the Napa one didn't. I may have found a new limit.

 

Well my limit is o don't have cv joints lol. It is interesting. Do you usually break them when the locker engages from spooling?

 

Looks, it's Captain Morgan lol! AKA: @Taco No Baka

 

I technically don't have a "locker". What I have is more like a spool. It locks the shafts together with no slip or disconnect in any way. This is a large reason why I break CVs so often, but, if you ask @TacoHell who has a Spartan Locker (a brand of lunchbox locker) he says he breaks CVs very easily as well.

 

Hmm sounds like it's chromemoly cv time

 

I can only do so much as of right now. But just wait, coilovers are being ordered next month and then in October I’ll be buying the links and brackets if not sooner. May happen by end of next year if things keep going like this

 

This was how my day started. I should have known I was in for a rough time right then.

And if I had the jack, I'd be going SAS with chromo shafts and longfield birfs and likely never break anything but the occasional Ujoint. Part of the impressive part with the OGT though is it was built with a practically non-existent budget and it's one of the most capable trucks out there in our normal group. It's not the most capable. Todd has that honor as will Tim and you once you're done with your SAS, but you've seen the OGT do shit nobody thought it could do just because I had the balls to try it.

 

Dammit! Stole my picture. Lol.
I'll be sorting through GoPro footage and pictures when I get home tomorrow. In the meantime, I've got the campsite for another night, and I'm enjoying the piss out of the Founder's Dirty Bastard (thanks Kyle!).

There ended up being another 6-7 trucks from the Facebook group out here. I think they were playing around on the south side though.

 

Yeah i saw that on FB. Why didn’t they meet up with us? Oh well, we had a good group today.

 

That's the downside to not having cell service out here. Hard to coordinate by phone, much less Facebook
