Not Another CTOR Build


How is that twisted trails? Do you need insurance on your rig? I don't insure my pig because its trail only and some parks wants insurance and all that.

Insurance is NOT needed. RB
 
going back to twisted trails this saturday......plan on running that holey moley trail this time.




At twisted trails i bent up my exhaust to the point of blocking it off completely. When i started it, the gases were blasting out the donuts and manifold to head gaskets. So i crawled under and unbolted my glasspack. Didn't look it it was bent enough to restrict it 100$ though

its wood.....i backed down on a stump which stopped the truck and bent the pipe......stuffed the glass pack with wood.

yeah the motor really doesn't like it when you 100% restrict exhuast flow

my first thought when i heard the gasps of air was i blew a tire or two.....took a few secs of looking at stuff before i realized what i did.

I thought I had done worse than that! I was freaking out on the inside, it actually turned out to be funny, but hey, lesson learned. I actually folded my up very similar to what you did later in the day after the mud, I was backing over a tree and it fought back. Now my exhaust is now tucked uphigh and in tight, if it plugs with mud I have bigger problems....

Glad you didn't have any 'real' damage.
 
strengthened up the stock b2 tire carrier and modified it to fit a 35" for a spare and to support the weight with no added noise from it. Have to see how long it last this weekend at Twisted Trails.

And of course my only real damage, busted the joint at the axle. Had it fixed in less then 10, i had a spare short piece to the shaft with a joint and the axle flange ready to go. Just slip and bolt.

Spare Tire carrier held awesome even when i backed it into tree trying to climb a steep hill side covered in cement slaps.
