Idaho BS thread in the PNW

Yea hopefully you don't need a new one...they are pricey..

 

Isn't yours electrically actuated like 2nd gens instead of vacuum? I know they made a transition in the late 1st gens but I don't know the exact year. Do you try to use your 4wd system at least once a month or so. The 2nd gen manual is pretty demanding about logging 10 miles a month in 4wd so you keep everything loose and lubricated.

Ah, I didn't know CDA was that big. Also good point on the home schooled, that is very very likely!

I wish I would have brought my Tacoma yesterday so I could have tore it all up with them. I probably would have got stuck, but the Paladins would be able to pull me out like I wasn't even there. haha What's an extra 6000lbs to 64000 lb vehicle. haha

The snow was just over knee deep out there yesterday and the paladins handled it just fine, but they have decent clearance. The only time we had a problem was when we drove out into some fresh snow and were trying to steer on to azimuth. With the right track braked trying to do a hard pivot the other track was having a hard time getting enough traction on the snow/mud, but it was nothing a little throttle didn't fix. haha

 

Hmm...

I'll have to keep an eye on it. Front skid is going to come off soon anyway.

 

Wtf for?! Haha

 

In case you missed my edit.

 

I was watching that fucker when he was just starting to turn pro and make appearances at the big name contests...now he won the first olympic gold for slope style. Dude just progressed so fast and is throwing insane tricks!



Powder day 2 for me today was freaking killer! We were getting stuck in snow up to our upper thigh. So freaking great, was in my happy place. 9-1 saturday and 9:30 to 4 today. im pretty sore and pretty damn tired!

 

I love how they fail to mention the canadian who won bronze has a broken rib until the near the end of the article lol

 

It's an American news company. Who cares about Canada in America?

 

Gonna do the inner and outer TREs and the LBJs here shortly. Then take in for an alignment. All will be a lot easier without that front plate on there.

but it feels like a mechanical deal, rather than electrical. Like Monte said, maybe the sleeve is no longer moving smoothly or hanging up a little causing a delay. Seems like if it was electrical, it not engage at all.

 

That broke a rib? An American would have broke the rail, but who knows because we don't wipe out like that.

Holy shit it's Sunday. Top gear...but...Olympics....ahhh.....shit..

That'll be a fun project mike..haha and I bet it could be electrical too mike.

 

Yeah, I didn't mean the problem was electrical, just the sleeve is likely moving by an electrical motor instead of a vacuum on yours, unless they made the switch as 2002.

I'll bet the problem is mechanical from what you have said. Might smooth itself out if you run it in 4wd for a few miles to lube everything back up and then switch back to 2wd and back to 4wd (getting it to engage and disengage each time) a few times. Seems like its at least worth a try.

 

Could have extra corrosion on the connection causing it to take too long to get the full signal voltage. Happened on aircraft all the time.

 

According to the vid he broke his rib on his last run, so it's not like he earned the bronze with a broken rib since the event was basically over when he crashed and broke it. He apparently won it with a botched 3rd run though.

 

he broke his ribs at the xgames.....

 

Oh.

 

OK. I guess Im gonna have to do some research

Yeah, once it engaged today it would dis-engage and re-engage quickly and easily. so using it definitely makes it work better.

It had been about 5 or 6 weeks since a last used 4WD so maybe that is the solution, not let it go so long between uses.

 

Day off tomorrooW! Family day stat holidy fuck yeah Canada!

 

ALL ON BOARDDDDD!!!!! LETSSS GOOOO
