Tacos in St. Louis area

That's what I told him

 

If you're getting high centered, you're not going fast enough

 

Stock size tires and no exhaust reroute can cause it to. He was giving it the beans

 

Needs a transfer case skid.

 

It’s because it was aluminum for sure.

He has another sos bumper on order.

and they are going to warranty the streamline bumper if he emails sos.

 

Someone is taking pix of @uploadadventure truck again

 

He needs to give it the

Noice. Sounds like a good set of fellas

 

It’s definitely tweaked. The bottom (more supported and reinforced area) stayed put. The front being bent up like it is and also where the recovery points are, caused it to “pull” the one side out.

Be awesome if they warranty it for him.

It for sure didn’t happen from abuse. We hooked @Sasquatch3153 up with a tow rope (not snatch) and just pulled really slow to get @miamijime up and over the rock he was hung up on.

I think it all comes down to it being aluminum, it’s nice and light but if he had been even more stuck or we used a snatch rope it could have been wayyy worse.

 

For those just now tuning in, you define the difference between a "tow rope" and a "snatch rope" as...... ?

 

Tow rope = no give
Snatch rope = rubber band type movement

 

Thought so.

Tow rope = tow strap (have one rated for many lbs)

Snatch rope = kinetic recovery rope. Like a bubba rope, voodoo rope etc.

Just to be clear lol.

 

Kinetic. That’s the word I was looking for. yes.

 

exactly.

lol

 

I wonder if I can make this work for a diff skid

 

Yeah like "fly into the back head" worse

 

Just make sure you use an American steel shovel. None of that Chinese Menards crap

 

Well boys, my days off request for Windrock got denied. Cool.

 

Looks like you're gonna be sick that weekend

 

The problem with snatch/kinetic straps and ropes is most people have no damn idea how to use them correctly. All the “hammer down” take offs are the worst for both cars. You can start moving at a safe speed and once the strap/rope meets its maximum length the kinetic energy will kick in and help.

 

Making a run to CoMo to swap parts with a KC cat, if anyone needs anything expressed out to/from the KC area, let me know.

Looking to make the run Saturday morning at the latest.
