Uhhhhh rohhheeee thhhhyyyyydere
 
I already asked Eric but I am about to eat lunch, so who has an opinion on what to do with my rear control arms?

Digdug you out there? Did the ACC 80 get a build thread or rear control arm upgrades?
 
Are they straight?
I might need one
 
Pretty happy with how that turned out.
2 problems. Head broke off one of the shock bolts so I'll have to extract that :bang:

And I have a stripped head on one of the locker "cover plate" bolts. I could ignore it but I would really like to put a skid plate over the locker, that thing seems very exposed. Does anybody make one other than MT?

Let's get together (matt allowing) and make a couple.
All of things I have hit on the belly of mine I have never to my knowledge hit the locking mechanism.
I think the obstacle would have to come in at a pretty weird angle to get past the drive shafts and control arms to get up there.
 
I would love to have a work day. I have never successfully removed a bolt after breaking a head.

I watched Rance et.al do two of them with hand tools a GSMTR I have to say I was shocked at how easy they made it look. I have never had success removing a bolt like that (they were recessed).
If you have some of the bolt sticking out a huge pair of vise grips should do it.
If not weld a cheap socket on to the broken bolt and remove that way.

I'm running a Slee locker skid. Inchworm makes one and so does Marlin.

As far as I know. I paid at the gate last year. I didn't pre register because if the weather wasn't going to be good I wasn't going to go.

We plan to leave Tuscaloosa between 11 and 1.

But this may be the final voyage of the 80 or the maiden voyage of the 100.
