Well I got a little tippy at pismo and put my truck on Its side sorta...got some pics later. And tonight I found a sawzall and said " I dont think I need this part of my frame" so that was fun. Basically im being a tease and will post pics when I find my laptop

 

[vipergrhd]

Pics?

Pics or it didn't happen ,would that be different when you got your rig almost tip over on your way down? it looks like the sand shifted from under your rig when you came to a stop.driving on sand is really tricky specially if you aren't careful.even if you tip over the damage would be minimal in comparison on the rocks.glad to hear that you had a blast and lets plan for next year.

When you sent me the text with this pic, I thought that was a caster shim! hahaha


One of your recent comments springs to mind....

"...You can make it through in 15 mins.." "... lead foot..."

 

[gregnash]

Well at least you can now get a new leaf put in there or maybe justify the cost of a whole new lift kit!

 

[KWalkerM]

LOL and I may see you both there...

Greg it was good seeing you dude, glad you could stop by

In other news I lost my steering tonight thankfully at a stop light. Steering shaft fell out of the u joint yoke between the firewall and the steering box u joint. The bolt got loose and let the shaft slide out. 10 minutes later on the side of the road and I limped her home since I was only a block away.

Quick break and its back to the garage to fix it permanently.

Got my 6 inch 1/8th offset shackles today. This weekend i am pulling all my spring packs and consolidating them together in the hopes that it will sit even and possibly clear some big tires with good flex. Ill probably need f250 shock mounts soon and some other goodies... u bolt flip kits are coming soon hopefully!
