My Crappy Weekend

[VinceYJ]

Pics speak for themselves...not the best wheelin' trip!

 

[liqwid]

That sucks man, whats the story?

 

[VinceYJ]

bent the control arm braket on a 3 foot high metal culvert stuck in the middle of the mud/water crossing.....then blew out the procomp MT (with about 1,000km's on it...if that) on a rock in a muddy off-camber rut....then towed it 300kms home to Toronto......

 

[p man]

that sux

Where abouts were ya wheelin?

 

[VinceYJ]

Haliburton....

 

[DrMoab]

You had it towed for that?

Damn don't canadians know how to do a trail fix?

 

[VinceYJ]

The braket is pretty ripped off at the top and my buddy did not have his welder at his cottage....for safety I didnt want to drive it 238km's on public roads and have the control arm rip off at 100kph.....

how the fawk did you do that? when I had my track bar out I only made it half a block before DW of doom surfaced @ about 12mph

 

[PornstaR]

He said cottage........ LOL

But yea that really sucks. Get er fixed eh

 

[TheInstaller]

The bent bracket totally sucks, but don't tell me you didn't have a spare tire with you?

 

[Pro Stock John]

That had to be a pretty expensive tow, no town close to get it fixed?

did you attach your sway bar? or was it un-attached?

Stock arms? Probaly just bound up enough to not need a track bar lol. My junk won't even turn the wheels with no TB.

 

[VinceYJ]

The tow was free...thank you to my buddy's free towing....well I learned a valuable lesson....don't wait for a good deal on a used tire for a spare....so I am going to get the sidewall patched on this one and use it as a spare.

 

[Prowler]

After viewing this thread...I am going to go buy a spare.

gotta call BS on going 55 with no trac bar. i tried to drive to work one day with out one...which is about 1.5 miles down a rural road where i might pass a car or 2 on the way there. i made it about 200 yards out of my driveway before i had DW, and decided it wandered too much to be driveable anyways
