If you're in any of these photos and you'd like a high-resolution file, just shoot me a message with your truck description and your email address, and I'll send it over right away. :)

D-Train!!! :cheers:

Lots of great photos and vids. Thanks for sharing. That little grey mini sure made that very difficult line look simple!

Don't forget the use of your garage this winter to install my new axles,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yep, no problem. I think we should go ahead and link it while were at it. Be sure and order up some spare axles now. Those are custom length and if you break one there won't be any spares for you to borrow from.

Tom, is that rear drilled for Supra calipers, or something else?

Now I know why Scott was saying that might not be the best spot for a poser pic. Maybe 10 PSI is a little low for my stock non-beadlock rims :eek:

Great angle on that shot! :thumb:

Pretty sure I saw in the video Scott and family moving out of the area right quick as well :hill:

In a dozen years of wheeling I have seen two popped beads. One was mine after diving into the Fremont River.

The other was Ben on Old Chinaman's....

Hey, give Perry a killer deal on your old axles so we can do an SAS on his rig and get him back on the road.

Steering was all messed up and continued to turn right on top of the rock to the left of the picture. It is a sharp right with a tilt to the left and yes the Habenero was tired or was that me:rolleyes:

You know, I took a hard cut into that turn and found myself with steering that was held hard to the right and would not even come back to center - all the weight on the front. I had to use the hand throttle in reverse to even hold it, and then a lot of pedal to get it to back off enough to get the steering straightened. I figure another 12-18" in that direction and I would have easily flopped.

Given your front end condition, if you were on the same line, no surprise. I think I probably bent my sector shaft trying to straighten it back out as my steering wheel is cocked a bit despite tracking perfectly straight. Good thing I have that core steering box, rebuild kit, and 105 series sector shaft ready to go :cool:

You can use either one. I can get the FROR set up or the Supra set up so you have an E brake...........kinda nice. Why is there a better way?

I will need some parts of it but that is an option if Perry is interested.

Not that I know of. I used the Supra calipers, and the e-brake works well enough to pass CM tech. :D They are getting kind of rare, though.

Bummer but good to know. I am going to start a thread in the tech section for advice etc. Should make for some good humored arguments.
