Argentine Pass Clean up run
- Thread starter MDH33
- Start date
Hey great run, enjoyed getting to know some of the newer folks a little bit..
That water crossing was the highlight for me, especially Gator's 40 and John in the stock height 60... wow.
Man I'm glad I didn't have to drive my truck through there..

Yea that culvert was in rough shape - the snow melt caused all the dirt around it to wash out, so it was moving around freely. It was near the top where the road forks and heads up to Argentine pass to the right, and there's a short road to the left that dead ends at a turnaround. The culvert was on the road to the left.

Well this is an update on my goof, Oil pan needs to be replaced (but think that was up at ICRP), Front lower control arm needs to be replaced (they asked how much air did I get), Knuckle is needing replacement as well and I'm getting an AllProOffRoad Spindle Gusset welded to it and I'm getting their Front control arms as well, and my back shock busted again and this was the right size one this time so I'm going back on the hunt for another set. I was looking at changing out the lower control arms for some from Total Chaos but they cost $1600 a pair and without the aftermarket parts I'm already looking at a bill of $2500 or more for the yota parts and labor...so I guess that this might be a good time to say I'm backing out of a lot of runs this year
but I vow not to be a stranger, or no more than I am already.

How did that happen? I guess I was oblivious that your rig got tweaked. 
Yep she did not hold but I did have fun after the hit, and not so much on the 3 hour ride home going 20 but I did get her home. And it does suck but it was all my doing and I did have a blast!!!! And it just means I'll have more of what I wanted done to my car with out the ability to go play with it since I'll be working of my last fun time after a day of picking up trash. I'm planning on making the rally and Bill Moore Lake and maybe try to make CM2011, but I'll have to be playing REALLY safe on that one.
And I forgot they are checking the bearings as well....fun times
Yes...But HOW did you muck up the FJC? What in the heck did you hit to cause that much damage
Anyone who has seen me go through cars knows that this is nothing, plane and simple I was going to fast a thought I had enough room to get by a rock that was sticking out from the dirt at about knee high...completely of my own doing, I would say maybe the altitude had something to do with it but that would just be stupid.
I just made all of the orders I need to fix and up grade it, I'll soon be rocking new Total Chaos UFCA with AllProOffRoad Spindle Gussets and bump stops and Ricohet FLCA skids....as well as the Bud Built.com front stainless steel skid........she'll soon be all dressed up with no where to go.

Thank you very much
It's more about the reasoning I have of that time on a trail or getting to a tail can be used to pay back the loan I've had to take, I can get it all payed off this next month, but feel I would be over working myself and the main goal is to pay it off by September.
