WTF, i thought i was supposed to be the abckup mascot. i already have the cool bacardi bat guy for an avitar. I'm gettigns screwed here

 

Well you should have spoke up... Ok I have it. Peacock your the mascot and sparty your the mascot in training. That way if Peacock should have to leave we have a backup for the backup. Roger?

Nothing is being done to the truck, the truck is going to be doing things... Don'e worry there will be full audio/video coverage of the 3 day event. Prepare to see carnage!

sounds good to me. sparty, you're on duty friday night and saturday...i have to go home and then work. I'll be abck on sunday. we canjust tag team it alright?

 

Peacock our tag team needs a good name.

 

Anybody remember if he's got a front driveshaft now? I don't remember. I looked back through a few PMs, I know where he's headed, and I hope to god he's got his front driveshaft made/installed. Good thing his gears got here in time too.

Since he chose to make it a surprise, my lips are sealed as to his event.

I hope to the 4x4 gods he's taking lots of film/memory/tape/whatever for his camera.

 

yes since jason wants it to be a suprise, i wont tell either! it will be good stuff come monday though! also, yes he does have a front drive shaft in. he climbed straight out of a creek bed over a (i believe) 4' vertical wall last week. the gears reached the proper mileage and had their fluid changed already too. shaggys truck didnt get done in time so he is jasons co-pilot this time.

i'm giddy with excitement, this better well be damn good, sonny boy!

TGIF,

 

can i be the backup to the backups backup

i can wait for pics either...im hoping a pic of the landyacht airborne that would be awesome

 

He got his Drive shaft? sweeet... I CANT wait till I see what he brings us... Very exciting... I'd almost give my left nut to go... or would I .... nope

 

why do I keep thinking I know where their headed and what the event is, it not even like I keep an eye on whats going

 

ill put a Drey Built Keychain that they are Rubicon Bound

 

shhhhhhh

 

They should go to Pismo or Glamis instead. I know if I lived in California I'd be all over them like flies on [bleep].

 

Your all wrong!!! I went to Frank Raines off road park in Patterson, CA with my club the Nor Cal Big Dawgs.

It was mostly rocks and a few mud holes... And I played in both

.

Anyway, Evan will be capturing the vid and emailing it to me. We have 2 hours of video of the club. I'll take a few stills of it and post tonight. I only have a few pics of my truck since we did video the whole time instead.

Heres one of me waiting to get through the traffic jam at the entrance of the creek bed:

Truck did pretty damn good in the rocks. The wheelbase actually helps a ton and it has pretty good flex. I still need to move my front axle forward about an inch because I basicallly ripped my front tires to shreds rubbing on the floor boards...

And then there was damage...

I completely FUBAR'D my steering. My steering box is pouring fluid out. Had to fill the pump 4 times on the way home

. I'm going with a WTO ******* Ram though in the coming weeks

I'll get some more pics in a bit. Waiting for other people to get back to there houses and post them...

Heres some pics of the event: FR 1, 2, and 3

Riding only 2-deep in a crewcab? That's no way to fly!

Coooooool, all I'm going to be able to think about tomorrow in class is your video... keep it high quality, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait

BTW, what in the deep bowels of hell is that rig built out of square tubing? that is the ultimate rock buggy, nuttin to fu**up

one more thing... has anybody ever told you your truck is friggin long!

good job guys, and welcome back official mascot and cynic

 

Ok since I don't own a capture card I took digi photos of my tv

.

Theres a preview of the movie... Sorry for the bad quality

Just checked, theres a 2 foot puddle under my truck

2 foot deep or 2 foot diameter? i've done both, and neither is fun

have you ever seen where somebody took a steering box out of a dump truck or similar and transplanted it into a 4x4? i havent, only hydro stuff, but it seems like this would be a decent option to add some beef to a very taxed and critically important piece of hardware on the truck. Even with hydro assist, i think it'd be nice to know that you're not going to twist off a sector shaft if you hit a rock the wrong way. Plus, i'm not totally sold on hydro assist since a rare but possible ram failure or line kink could leave you without steering

That's not likely, but i like to KISS

nice pics, BTW

 

Umm, 2 feet in diameter

.

Yeah, guy in our club bent his ram today. First time out with the truck too...

Looks like someone had some fun! Wish I had a non-daily driver for off-road excursions.

Awesome footage (even though off your tv). Can't wait to see the video!

 

Wow...

I'm jealous as hell. That looks so fun. I too wish I had deep enough pockets to even slowly put something together like that. Your truck is absolutley awesome in the mud. Looks like those sliders you built came in pretty handy. They get bent at all? How'd the rear bumper hold up?

Send me the vid, I got a capture card.

 

Very cool Jason... Make sure you make a ****ty 8MB vid for the low bandwidth losers like me

Devin, when do you get online now?

 

jason.............YOU ARE THE MAN!

so the diff armor seemed to come in handy too huh? you built it to do that and it did exactly that, good job. not lets see some more pics and VIDEO
