034x4 Maiden run + Yomie

[034x4]

Went out to some local powerline trails near my house with Reggie (Yomie) 2 tj's and my Friend alex on his YZ250F.
Lots of pics. And emphasis on lots.

Ouch.

Pnut gallery lol.

Hookin up a strap so he doesn't roll it. Keep the drivers front end down and he climbed right out.

This hill was fun. Got 90% to the top, rear end started sliding into a 4+ foot hole, pulled pass wheel off the ground, decided to winch the front end down instead of rolling back down the hill .

Tire in the air...

Tried to back down some, sliding too much, and my bumper wasn't helping. Need the one-link and bobbed frame now.

Really teetering.

From straight ahead.

Winch hooked up, kept front passenger down and crawled up it no problem. Only used the winch to keep the front end down, not pull me up. You can see the slack in some of the pics.

Examining the hole. My g/f jen stood in it when I got out, my rocker would have been above her head.

Thanks for the winch anchor Reggie ha.

Coming down steep rocky steps. Wanted to try climbing back up, but i forgot, dur.

Peice o' cake.

Going up a rail-buggy hill. About 3 feet into the hill is a 1' vertical rock wall. Hit it with some momentum and when my front end got back on the dirt with my weight shifted to the rear the front axle crawled too far forward and my driveshaft (that was made too short, a second time, from the damn driveshaft shop) seperated, woohoo. No pics of the hill, but I got airborne.

Sick man. Looks like it performed really well besides the front shaft. Congrats. Great pics of both rigs. :thumsbup:

 

[RangerX]

Truck looks good with dirt on the tires!

So no problems other than the D-shaft?

Muy bien. What are those trails called again? Same ones that everyone from LMOR goes too? Good to see you finally got it out for some real offroading.

You need to follow them out there next time!!

 

[bmxking5]

You need to follow them out there next time!!

I need to get me truck driving before next time!

Looks like fun. Also looks like teh chevy springs worked well in the rear. Are you still planning on linking it or going to keep the springs?

Also whats the story on the shattered window? How did yomie do that?

 

[SkanlaxJMO]

that looks really good great job

 

[supergildo]

LMFAO

 

[21robbie21]

[Yomie]

Ikept inching forward in this pic, drivers front kept lifting in the air, rear pass was falling in a rut, passenger side rear quarter glass layed over on the hill to my side and busted the window

They did alright, my front still flexes ALOT more than the rear chevy's. I'm still going to one-link the rear.

No other problems with the truck besides the driveshaft. O btw, all of that was done on street pressure.

Thanks. It's the powerlines off of Lucas Rd. So everyone calls it Lucas. Same trails the LMOR folks go to.

A couple of the LMOR crew will be going with me to tellico this weekend (24-26) so I'll have plenty more pictures.

O and gil, you come down here and take some fawkin pics that will satisfy you! lol.

Nice!

I didn't know DA had member is GA??
Sucks about the driveshaft..they gonna fix it? longer slip yoke?

 

[034x4]

Ha, its a 12" slip! he shortened the tubing too much

i went to some powerline trails in my town, and got stuck back when i was stock. i had two county sheriffs waiting for me when i went down to the road to wait for my dad to pull me out. Glad your area isn't so anti-fun. (and no-one start in on me about the illegal wheeling, i havent done anything like that since) those trails look pretty nice for $free.99

oh yeah... and the truck looks like it did pretty good. the flex looks real good on it. looks like you can outflex yomie, but that might be your lack of fenders pulling an illusion. either way, VERY nice. sorry i'm almost a month late on this.

 

['97 V8]

i didnt even know this exhisted. sick truck man. I hadnt known you went wheelin yet.

 

[034x4]

Thanks, me and reg actually measured today, we have about the same amount of flex front and rear.

 

[David89]

Nice looking Ranger and Explorer!
