Foxracin's 1991 Exploder

[Foxracin]

Didnt get many pics but couple other people got pics and vids. Ill see if I can get some.

Did farily well besides popping a few u joints and twisting off a rear driveshaft. Crawled everything I tried besides the stuff it broke on. The doubler is great. Should have done it a looong time ago.

The group shot.

Found some snow on one side of the mountain.

Twisted up pretty good.

Here is the ledge where it broke the rear shaft and u joint. Damns near had it cleared and a rock kicked out from under the back tire and landed on the frame/driveshaft. Back tires are about 2 feet in the air in these pics.

Driveshaft.

Not so pretty anymore. lol

Got this fix for the u joint problem in the mail. Should be here sometime this coming week. Cant wait to get it back together and get back out there and try the stuff again.

[Burns]

Hey I think that you bent that thingy.....lol


Now we both are front wheel drive at the moment

 

[Foxracin]

Nope. Got winched back a little ways where I could get under it and changed it out with my spare where it sat on the rock. I dont have a tow rig or trailer so I have to come prepared. lol

Drove 2.5 hrs there wheeled it till it broke. Fixed it and drove 2.5 hrs back home. lol

For starters that is way to many heeps in that picture but the two exploders make up for it, but beware you dont wanna catch the jeep thing my buddy got it and he has been sick for weeks. LOL

And damn looks like you had a blast wished i could have went.

After seeing this rig in action last weekend i really am impressed. Never thought you'd get it out of Armor All in 2wd but lo and behold you did. You sure as hell showed up all those heeps.

 

[TarHeel085]

armor all is probably my favorite trail out there. there is actually an upper part of it that no one knows about, and it gets really nasty! but im planning on going weekend after next too. thats when you said your goin right?

 

[Foxracin]

Those pics on the little ledge is the upper part past the exit on the right at the bottom of pull cable. Other 2 guys that did armor all with us exited there and I kept on going to the top side with a yota truggy on like 38's following me. lol

Yea, Im planning on going to URE not this weekend but next. My chromo axles are supposed to ship out today and I got to got the spindles bored out and get some drive flanges. If I dont get everything to put those in by then Ill just put a stock set back in for now.

 

[Foxracin]

On a side not I drove 2.5 hrs there. Wheeled it. Drove 2.5 hrs back home and got around 17mpg. Not to shabby.

 

[Foxracin]

Expecting a package from fedex tomorrow. Woo hoo. Also ordered some more parts today. Pics tomorrow.

 

[Foxracin]

Some pics Slowlyvverot sent me off his phone he got.

Popped the first u joint on that waterfall.

 

[Foxracin]

Well maybe these will fix the u joint problem I was having.

Got some drive flanges and teflon spindle bushings on the way. Also got a set of spindles getting bored out. Should have them in next week sometime.

 

[Slowlyvverot]

you can tell from that last pic that you woulda made the waterfall if you hadnt broken that joint. also, sweet axles.

 

[Foxracin]

Were definitely going to go back and try again thats for sure.
