i couldn’t remember how bad it was coming up to the bridge

 

Where exactly is this trail repair happening?

 

In the pic of my OnX off road that I put up, with the 4 waypoints.......just as a reference, the first 2 before the bridge are called "suspension tester" and "The Slide"

 

Southern NH going to do a drive by to be sure what we need and that it wasn’t already done.

 

I am sure that no one has done anything to fix it up.....when we went through there, we needed to cut up 2 fallen trees in the section just to get through there.

 

Trees were my first idea of how to fix it. Chop a few and drag them across. Carve them nice so they can’t roll.

pressure treated wood is not the best for lots of reasons and if not treated it will only last a few years at best.

 

Could get hemlock too. My local sawmill has it and thats what I am going to use for my bridge at home. Decking for an 8x12 or 14 ft bridge was $250 with full dimension 2x8's

 

I like it… really we need to take a ride out there one afternoon and check it out and see what we can come up with

 

Snowmobile clubs around here do alot, not sure if they are as active in that area of NH

 

Hey @crashngiggles does this seem like all the parts needed for LCAs?

The spec sheet shows different part numbers for left and right, but the parts guys ordered two of the left hand side stuff. Also the bolt numbers for the rear of the LCA don’t match anything on that sheet.

 

Those do look correct.....did the "parts guy" go off of your Vin number? It does look like you have 2 full fronts and 2 full rears....what are the part numbers you have?

 

Yeah he did. Here’s what I have:

 

Yup, you have the correct numbers from what I am reading. We should be good to go. I'll remember to pack a shitload of antiseize lol.

 

Anything I should do to prep for the sususpension swap? Any tools that I need to ensure I get? Should get the last bit delivered today.

 

It shouldnt be too bad yet but its never a bad idea to shoot some pb blaster on the stuff you are going to take off

 

You're missing the lower control arms

 

Lol those have been sitting with John for maybe close to a year?

 

In a bag in the back of the garage since aoaa,,, they are used and need love. I’ll see how much I can clean them up for you before then.

 

Don't worry about it too much. I think this meet I might just get sparks done and take my time cleaning them up for the next one at Jared's place. I'll probably sand/grind them, paint it real thick in spots with bedliner, try to get the bushes and ball joints in.

 

Biggest understatement of the year here - spray some then spray some more lol
