On the trail... But with troubles....

[Funrover]

Well I should have waited till my new arms came in.... LOL... I was out doing Eagle Rock with a few others (2 jeeps and Llesra) all was going good!!! The new lift and flex is AWSOME, have a few items to dial in!!! But while doing a hill climb my slightly bent trailing arm turned into a VERY BENT trailing arm.... I was able to drive home..... But I did ruin the day for Llesra who drove down from denver!













And here is the BEND of the arm...lol... Made for a fun drive home!

how did you bend it? was it weak and the climb caused it to fold more?

Damn Funrover thats bad luck fella! They do say the disco trailling arms are made of silly string!! Esspecially prone to bending if reversing I hear!

I have a set of cranked strengthened arms on Eva, much much better for what we do with our trucks!!

I think Arsell is still bigger.. I may have a little taller tires (but not for long I feel)

I can remember back in my younger/pre-kid days when I had my Jeep and went to 37s... it was like, the race is on! My buddies were working to build theirs up to my size. One went to 36s and the other was on 35s but finally got to 37s after I sold off the Jeep and moved out here (and got the Disco).

Now I'm comfortable with 33s since it's easier to get little kids in and out.

So what's Llesra's moving up to? 315/75s (that's the next popular size up from 285/75s, isn't it? Silly metric system.)?
