Re: W/E Wheelin' @ Rausch w/VT
No clue on the vid thing.
Here's a link to a lot more pics taken on Sunday: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/563805668QrALIA Should be a couple vids there too but maybe they haven't been down loaded yet. I took maybe 8 pics all weekend...

Re: W/E Wheelin' @ Rausch w/VT
Sure, post up one w/my knuckles white, all I saw was tree tops and sky. Sure felt steeper then the pic. shows
Good pic. of Chas before the bent and twisted frame, blown off dizzy cap, blown up drive shaft. M/B I'll down and help him hang that new frame rail

Re: W/E Wheelin' @ Rausch w/VT
Looks like fun. Not much rocky terrain like that around here. About the best wheeling would be in the river valleys, at least the parts that aren't corn fields.

Re: W/E Wheelin' @ Rausch w/VT
Couple vids:
http://yunit.net/patrick/MOV00369.MPG http://yunit.net/patrick/MOV00481.MPG My breakage for the weekend consisted of: *Ripping the brake hard line off the frame where it connected to the drivers front caliper. (area where it exits the frame) *Also ripped my rear axle line locks of the top of the diff., both solenoids and wiring is all garbage now. Goes to show, nothing is safe... |

6" lift w/37" tired ass SSR's. Rear is locked, not sure on the front, could be a limited. Hidden winch behind the bumper and a home-brew grill. His K5 does really well, a good solid wheeler considering it's his driver. Quote:

No harm at all, pulled it back over, started it up and continued wheeling. http://yunit.net/patrick/MOV00369.MPG Yeah I agree with the easy vid thing, so much so that I just got back from buying one just like the one that took these vids.

Sent an unseen rather large log right over the top of the diff at speed. It came out of a big mud puddle, so way to see it at all. Tore everything the shatt, I'll be replacing the lone lock set up as it worked REALLY well but will do it a wee bit different this time 'round. |

, true a lot of damage but I still had good brakes.Used the opposite end of the front line, screwed it back onto the hard-line and used a set of vice grips to block it off with. In the rear, I was able to pull the solenoids out of the loop and remake the hard lines back into the distribution block, all was fine from there. This time though, I'm just going to mount a single line lock solenoid up on the firewall near the master cylinder. One will work as good as the both did before and in a single solenoid application, it will allow me to use it as a temp. parking brake too. |
