Nope I have been over that way before and my gut said we were fine, besides I was ridind passenger so I was on the high side.....I'm pretty sure james had a pucker going on though
I need to get down there to check this out. The company I drive for hualed a 50 ton flatbed load of limestone slabs from our local pit. Looks like a blast!!!!
Nice seeing all of you there . Myself , Mike,and Deb from Bundy Hill had a good time tooling around in the Nitro. It was their first time there ,Deb was impressed with Jims run in the woods course. We will all be back there together in June. Did Beefy get fixed and back out?
Jim and Beefy did, we hit the tight and twisties and ran out of time before we got back to the rock courses. Jim laid the smack down on the course more then once. Beefy didn't fair so well.
Yea pretty much what Tim said something weird going on with that upper link allowing a bunch of axle wrap in the front. Between that and breaking the trans mount again I don't blame the drive shaft for breaking. Just too much angle, the rear shaft was fine it looked bent because the entire drive line was moving about 4" side to side due to the trans mount issues. Looks like I have some work to do before SnoFari
Worst part of the day was my dad's rig tho. It broke getting on the trailer and we didn't even realize it drove all the way down there to find out he has no 4x4.
Oh and that slab... I didn't see any problems with it nice and easy :teehee:
That was as far as Beefy made it before hearing clunks in the front end and the upper link slop. Jim was the only one to run the woods course, and he did it twice. There was about 12-15 people the first run and about 20-30 the second run watching. There were cameras and video out but noone seems to want to post them.
It is refreshing that there is a local spot that is considered to be "too hard" for people to even try. There shouldn't be anyone bitching about everything around mid-michigan being too easy that's for sure.
I am hoping the pics of Jim on the course the first time will show up in the two trackers forum then I can repost them here. I didn't bring a camera so I only took a couple with my phone that I already posted. And most the CTOR guys got there late after Jim was done on the course so they missed out. I wanted to try it, but not to early in the day. Unfortunately we spent alot of time in the twisties and didn't have enough daylight to get back before close. Saved it for next time I guess.
X2! Prob a good thing we ran out of daylight being we noticed my rim came loose as I was getting on the trailer. Would have been a shitty day if it fell off in those rocks
