looks like your tires are gettin a little thin there buddy.

guess thats why you keep tellin me to ship you one of my sets

we have trail we call the test loop that we typically run to check vehicle operations after any serious modifications. it typically puts the vehicle thru it full paces to verify ecerything is opperationg properley. you name it and its on this look. slow speed,high spees, jumps, chicanes, whoops, suspension articulation. works pretty well. typically before i hit any of the harder trails i push the truck to the airborne level then i feel alot more confident on the trails

Do you have a write up in here on how you did your radius arms?

 

[disciplerocks]

That's what bad ball joints and a welded rear will do.

And I haven't had a problem with the RAs since I braced them.

They are Stonecrusher extensions.

First trail in.

Luckily I had a spare hub, and railman still had a broken one in his truck. Got me out of the trail and back home.

Good news, the doubler works. Unfortunately I can't blame the doubler for the hubs. After cracking the spindle nut, I swapped them out for auto nuts. I was almost positive my spare nuts were missing the pin. And I didn't know the autos wouldn't work.

Maybe its time to swap to a solid axle

 

[disciplerocks]

Bah

 

[escort_gts]

Dis you get to use the new winch any?

 

[disciplerocks]

Nope, but thats a good thing.

looks like you ought to brace those brackets when you get new ones or fix the old one

Would going to D44 outters give you stronger hubs? If so I would do that or go to D44 TTB.

 

[disciplerocks]

Working on something, bu its not going to be quick. Got to fix the motor in the focus before I start another project that will leave the b2 down.

 

[kroussinoffroad]

i vote 44 outters!!! thats pretty trick

then you have to do somthing for the rear tho if you want matching lug patterns.
