Permanent Rausch Creek thread

Finally lifted thanks to @Urineovrurhead

Ready for the next outing at Rausch!

 

FIFY

 

I hope something moved, otherwise something or things bent, or a bushing died. Make sure to check for play in your uca bushings.

 

Found nothing conclusive. Tore the passenger side apart twice due to destroying the CV I just replaced. Readjusted UCAs and redid toe. Tracks straight and true again.

Glad to hear it.
I have seen bent spindles, which makes it near impossible to realign. Torn upper uca bushings are far more common.
Odds are it was the uca ball joint connection.

 

I'm a possibility.

 

I broke nothing.

I did bend my aluminum skids. They've been taking a beating so that the truck can live another day...

Damn, that curve is sexy...

 

Nice job Lloyd....

 

I checked everything. Near as I can tell the knuckle is good. When I pulled the nut off the tapered adapter it was still torqued. And UCA bushings are fine, cuz they are heims.

 

That's a really crappy design anyway. I bent my steel one too last trip. It's just flat with no reinforcement on top. There's ALL kids of room to put something there too. Mune is now much stronger. Shouldn't have had to do it though IMO

 

@HolyHandGrenade and @Sub-Zero

How was it on 35's this time around??

 

To be completely honest...




It was pretty freakn' great

 

Looks like a good time. I'll be there next time. What trails did you guys hit.

 

I see you guys are almost all wearing matching shirts.. from the takeover

 

Black Trail
Stuck and pondering next move


Self recovery winching from front: FAIL


Winching off angle from rear with Tim's winch. Success! (waiting for pics)
(insert pic here)

 

Wow, what a difference. Extremely happy with the set up now....Just ask lloyd if the 3/4" or whatever we gained made a difference.

@Subway4X4

 

Day 1 @Sub-Zero and I followed @HomerTaco around. I don't remember many of the trail names except Tatas and 23.

Day 2 @subzero @Subway4X4 and myself headed out on our own. We started on 101 then decided to try 20.

After Spendind an hour getting Lloyd unstuck, I realized I would never have time to finish because I had to leave early. So we bailed on 20 and did one of the 12's and I called it a day. Not sure what Ryan and Lloyd hit after I left.

 

Barely made a difference.
Except for two stucks within 100 feet of each other on a black trail that required winching and major rock stacking to get unstuck.
And one turn back onto an easier bypass coz I couldn't get up and over a high ridge on a different black (i think it was black)

 

It was a Recovery Class. We needed more training.
You're welcome.

And the only reason we busted out the winches is because you looked pretty tired carrying and stacking those PUNY rocks.
