hope your ready to pull my ass out since im still without a winch

 

[Black798]

@ttFJC I have you covered there

 

[secretasiansam]

I'll see everyone at mama Macs tomorrow morning. Bring a full size shovel if you have one.

 

[ttFJC]

This was alot of fun guys.

Im out of town for chrismas but maybe again in early january? Maybe have my winch by then

 

[Black798]

I'd be up for that. Hopefully, the snow conditions will be better. That crust and sugar were brutal. But other than Sam's tire nothing broke so it was a good day

 

[secretasiansam]

I may have broke something. I have serious death wobble between 40-50 mph. And moderate throughout all speeds. Could just be I damaged that tire and it's extremely out if Balance.

 

[Black798]

My guess is that tire is seriously out of balance between the snow that got inside it and from the rim spinning separately when the bead blew.

Could be many things. Have you checked the torque on all your knuckle studs? Felt for play in your tie rod ends on the tie rods and drag link? Could be an out of balance wheel/tire. I seriously doubt you damaged the tire itself unless there are chunks of rubber taken out of the tire. Water in the tire is a possibility and/or you have an ice chunk in the tire throwing it way out of balance.

 

[secretasiansam]

Spare tire fixed it. There must be water or ice in it

Not with the bald tires it has now!!!

The tires will be one of the last things I do to it. I m going to sand blast the wheels and use a product called DuraCoat Aerosol Paint that has a hardener in it that I have used on guns before to paint them "tactical coyote brown" and clear then with a DuraCoat Aerosol Paint clear with hardener too. but like I said that will be one of the last things that I do before spring.

My front ARB bumper, blinkers and 6" round lights showed up yesterday, I hope to get the ComeUp winch for my birthday from the misses in mid Januray, then I will be calling you to come over when you have some free time to help me put it all on.

Do you know if the "COMEUP SEAL 12.5rs 12v Winch - Gen 2" will work with the ARB? I know you said that the "COMEUP SEAL 9.5rs 12v Winch - Gen 2" would work, I was just hoping to go bigger. I have the sizes of both winches, but was hoping you mite know someone that has put the 12.5rs in an ARB 80 series.

Talk to you later, hope you guys had fun!!

A couple of us are talking about doing a snow wheeling drive on saturday and we thought we would put some feelers out there for anyone who wants to come/offer advice. Right now it would be ME, @JohnnyOshow22 is possibly comming and @Black798 is also possibly coming.

Possible locations:

1. East side of Flathead pass - not sure what this looks like right now but its open? I assume we wouldn't make it and turn around.

2. Bear Canyon- Not sure how much snow is up there- main road is open until 12/31

3. @Black798 mentioned some road in the tobacco roots that are always open?

Thoughts/Comments/Want to join?

Mainly i just want to have a campfire...so ill bring the chainsaw..


UPDATE: (so you dont have to read the whole thread)

We will be headed to the Tobacco Roots - North Meadows Creek Road - We will head up a road that sam suggested that is "past sure shot lakes that goes way up and overlooks twin lakes"

We will be leaving from MAMA MAC's in 4 corners @ 9AM on Sat. Leaving. ...show up a little early.

Attending:
@ttFJC
@Black798
@JohnnyOshow22
@secretasiansam


Maybe:

.............. Dude.... I can't believe I missed this entire thread. I have been engulfed in work. I will check more often. And +10 on the campfire.

I'm not sure if the 12.5 will fit. Measure the ARB when it gets to your house and see if it's winch spot is larger than the winch. And always happy to help out!
