Hard Rock Ocala April 2014, interest gauging thread

Bring the Tahoe

 

Pretty sure the driver side Birf or hub gear is toast. Something is very wrong with my steering too, got all the way to drop Riaz off and something popped, I could hardly turn right after that. Thankfully we got home. I'll pull the front end apart in a few days and see how bad $$$ it is.

Had a great time with wheeling with everyone, pics and videos to come.

GH

 

Sweet pics I'll have to make it to the next one.

Is that Chris Sniders ranger in one of the pics?!

 

Yeah, it was a really great day. Had a scare myself. Thought I popped a CV, but it turned out to be a false alarm. The Odd Green Taco put in an outstanding performance today. It was a lot of fun.

Only dark spot was Guy breaking his frontend. That sucked.

Glad you guys made it home okay though, Guy. Hope it turns out to be the best case scenaro, whatever that might be, and doesn't break the bank to fix it.

Rick got a lot of video today. Either he or I will post them here once he gets them uploaded.

 

How was the B-Pit?

 

Insane, but it was a lot of fun as well. Definitely a lot more intense than Hardrock.

Didn't get much video of it due to a camera issue, but I think Rick took a little with his phone.

We also ran across a trio of Jeeps in the aftermath of one of them rolling down a hill. Nobody hurt or any serious damage, but the jeep that had rolled was doing a fine impression of a mosquito fogger.

 

At least you got home. And you gotta come to B pit next time. Crazy out there.

 

No rack. He's running a regular steering box.

Edit: Maybe a piece of shattered birf binding up in the knuckle?

 

Yup. Pushes that thing pretty hard. Broke two hubs. But ill give mike fussle and his xj for the award for hardest run rig.

 

I made that first comment because I thought it was you saying that. Didnt realize it was guys post

I developed a scratching noise on my way home. Seems like rmps doesnt affect it, only happens when driving. Doesnt always make the noise, even doing 70. Im gonna pull the wheels off tomorrow and clean my brakes and hope the noise is just something in my brakes

 

No contest there, haha. That guy was like "Full speed ahead and damn the torpedos".

 

Yeah, had something like that happen to me the last time I went to Hardrock and A-pit. Turned out I had a small piece of glass caught between my dust shield and break rotor. Didn't make the sound on the way home, but I guess the next day when everything dried out it came loose and may a horrible racket.

I had to listen to the inner fender liners I tore loose rattling against the tire all the way home.

 

yeah i hope its something simple. i picked up some brake cleaner on the way home, and i have to readjust my ebrake cable and possibly my rear drums. the ebrake doesnt grab anymore, i have no idea why the mud always does that to the ebrake

 

bunch of my friends with jeeps, said they saw some TW guys yesterday. Did any of you see a group of jeeps(white 4d on 37's with king coilovers on all 4 corners, says domino 1 on his hood.)

 

cant say it was your friends or not but we pulled up on 3 jeeps. White, Silver, and a black one that rolled.
