How bad was it? What blew, broke, or fell off to cause the wipe out?

Driving in rural Utah i routinely hit 90 on the clock, probably 95+ (running 30" tires with no speedo correction) A couple times I found the end of the speedometer, only goes to 100 but I felt a little acceleration still...
Front end feels twitchy at that speed, though - makes me think about my halfassed alignment checks, castor, flimsy tie rod etc etc. Gonna have to upgrade brakes and steering before I feel safe putting more power to the wheels...

I got going about 80 on my uncorrected speedo with 355s 33" muds 6" lift with the sway bar disconnected and towing a sport fourwheeler(300ex)and my pittbike(125cc mini dirt style)... Gotta love the cold night air. I was going about 75 on my speedo the other day and my gf told me she had to do about 90 on her car to keep up... I know I might get flamed for it but I actually dont mind driving 70-80 disco'd

 

[yossarian19]

I've been driving discoed for the last week or so - no problems, really. It handles differently. Once you are used to it, the only issue is the loss of swerve-ability. I wouldnt want to out-juke a deer without the sway, but it handles fine...

I am just amazed at this. Wait, this might explain it...

How many of you are women? :rof: :laugh:

I'm kidding. I think it's great that excessive speed bothers most people. It's unsafe, illegal, and dangerous to other people.

lol, I've been trying to keep it to 70/75 just to save gas. I have to stay out of the fast lane at that speed. 80/85 is the normal traffic speed on I-10.

I'm 4.5" lift with 32" tires and corrected speedo.
