Yeah, I couldn't do much. Wait till you see the rest of the video. I basically couldn't turn at all and with the angle we had on the winch it was all just wrong. Yeah, I was actually thinking I was going to have to strip it and blow it up.

We can have whatever you need, but all of it may be a little much for one weekend? Can have on hand welder, plasma, shop with lifts, etc. if Joey doesn't mind the shop and Marc comes with the welder and plasma.

Hey guys,
Here are some videos from our recent trip out to Moab, UT for the UTV Rally. I was itching to go ride all week on Pritchett Canyon, so I figured why not go out with one of the UTV rides on Saturday. It was well worth it even though I broke a driver's side birf and bent my drag link. Here's the progression of videos from start to finish of the trail:
This is from the beginning through Rocker Knocker:

This is just past Rocker Knocker and up through the end of the trail at Yellow Hill:

This is from the top down to the last obstacle where I ran out of memory card room for the best part:

But, one of good friends Wayne and Jackie caught the near rollover on their camera:

I was amazed at how well the 80 did on this trail. I've ridden it a few times in my RZR, and it's a whole different ballgame in an 80. The main thing I realized is that I need much better brakes, bigger balls, some good spotters, and I'd say the only limitation to this thing is me at this point. I'm very impressed with the way it handled. I am going to still 3-link the front, but I'm thinking about keeping the shocks the same length.
After breaking the birfield and bending the drag link, I upgraded the front and rear axles with Longfields and Poly Performance axles. I also got very lucky and Ben from Slee Offroad delivered the heavy duty tie rod and drag link tubes with wheel bearings and tie rod ends to Moab 4x4 for me as they were heading up to Cruise Moab. I didn't have to use the bearings, so I delivered them back to Slee at Cruise Moab before we headed out of town. Awesome customer service and got me back on the road to Boone, NC on Thursday this past week. I used the Marlin Crawler seal/rebuild kit with their HD seal, and everything is back to normal...just a whole lot stronger. I'm thinking my next set of tires should be 40's. K, just kidding...I don't even have the balls to push it to it's limits now on 37's. I'll post pictures when I get a chance...
Chris
P.S. If you're not into UTVs, it doesn't matter. This is a hilarious video of a guy not with our group that was high on something, that's for sure:
