My 91 Exploder

Where this pic was taken. About a 3 foot stairstep and the front tires were in loose dirt. He pulled the rear tires up to the crest and spun off and back into the hole at the bottom. SNAP!

Maybe if we had aired down we woulda got better traction???










Feel free to make an offer on mine. It is for sale. Need to build another.

Didnt help it was undercut a little neither. lol

Would have aired down but then you got to take the time to air back up. So I usually say f it. Get the york mount made and we can both use it to air back up nice and quick like.

Went to a local private 4 wheeling park that had a open ride this past weekend and watched some badass wheeling. The club that own the land and puts it on is the Big Dixie Boggers. Great group of people.

As usual not many pics. Having to much fun.

My buddies jeep.

First time he took it out with the new steering setup he got. Turned out its junk. Its already pre bent to clear shit and now its really bent.

We got it fixed up though.

Managed to twist off another driveshaft.

Some nice parking at Lowes. People were calling us retarded, saying it was badass, and taking videos.

Better day time pic.

Then on the way to work yesterday the fuel pump decides to give up. Didnt want to drop the tank so got the grinder out and started cutting. Here is what I found. Mud is the devil. lol

When I was scrapping all the dirt off and cleaning it up scrapped a little too much rust off one of the lines coming out of the sending unit and it had a pinhole in it so had to get a whole new unit. No big deal. Got a new sender unit/pump assembly for $65 at Advance with a online coupon. New unit in and all cleaned up.

Made a plate to cover the hole up and easily removable in the future.

Then today got some free 30 spline 300m gears for the Warn hubs from RCV. Cant beat free.

30 spline 300m vs stock 19 spline.

Gears installed and ready to go.

Hubs back on. Now to see how strong they are. They say there just as strong as a drive flange with these gears. We shall see.

When your wheeling, how fast does the drive shaft spin???

If it not too fast is there any way you could make a square tubing one that has .25 inch wall, and was two piece that slides inside it's self like they show on "Extreme 4X4", and just swap it in when your ready to wheel and then swap back to the other more balanced one for the road ???

time to get to cutting and welding...

 

[Foxracin]

Cool deal. Look forward to seeing the build.

 

[Foxracin]

Heres some updates to get everybody back up to date.

About ripped the stock bumper off.

So I said ill try making one.

Gussets on the inside.

Got it painted and put on. Its head one with 12 half inch bolts so it shouldnt be going anywhere. Its all 3/16 plate I cut out with a angle grinder. lol

So then needed one for the front so started on one for it. Still havent finished it yet so no finished pics yet.

Then went wheeling at Callalantee in Mountain City, TN with some buddies. Had a blast.

My buddy had a little accident on the big water fall. lol

Pics

I had to crawl up the jeep to hook the winch controller up. Once we flipped the jeep back down couldnt find a way back down. lol

I made it up and out of the waterfall without winching or flipping. lol. Dont think anybody got it on video though. But if I find one ill post it.

Other random pics from other trails.

Night wheeling.

Managed to bend a leaf spring pretty good.

Now got to get some leaf springs swapped in and finish up the front bumper and a few other little things by this coming weekend for the URE trip.

 

[86 slo-vo]

the bumpers look good.
