Just do it! :thumbup:

[blazerbrad]

Need to get motivation to go over the rig and get it packed up. I did the brakes on my Hyundai work car yesterday and they wore me out:d'oh: The miniature rear drum brakes were a pain to do. Wound up nicking a seal on one of the cylinders getting the springs off and had to replace it (always love working with 12 year old brake fittings) and then got the wrong front pads.

See, you deserve a day in the woods after that. :thumbup:

I'm beginning to think the universe doesn't want you to go to Haspin anymore. :straight-face:

[comanchedude]

Or, his rigs are scared of Haspin?.......:eek:.

[Runoveru2]

And, I'm out. :at-wits'end:

Don't feel too bad Robert, I went to replace a simple outer axle seal on the Yoda and Found a massive metal milkshake in the Knuckle, and no it wasn't from Chromoly axle or cv, looked in the axle tube to find metal everywhere. Knew I had a bigger mess most likely in the front diff so I removed it only to find out that I only had 1 tooth left outa 7 on the pinion that was either cracked, chipped, or broke off. So my rig is outa commission with parts on the way, Ring & pinion did last 11 years with my driving and I'm pretty mean to er at times...... Thanks to Kevin (93 Krawler) I will still get to enjoy the day at Haspin New years day, Kevin is nice enough to let me borrow his Razor for the day, obviously I break it I fix it, I'm Known to be rough on equipment so I will be cruising around with the group taking plenty of pics and videos of everyone. Thanks Kevin !!!!

[Runoveru2]

Come on Brad let's go...smileypoke

[blazerbrad]

Planning on being there as long as I don't find anything wrong with the rig this afternoon.

Anybody want to meet up and caravan there? Never been there so wouldn't mind following someone. I would probably hit 75 at Monroe and go from there.

What time is everybody planning on being there?

[Coppertop]

I'm out,on call till 4:00 pm tomorrow.

Have Fun.
Nick

[donaldcon]

[Runoveru2]

Nick

Darn it !! Was hoping to see you out there.

[blazerbrad]

MapQuest gives a choice between going through Hamilton and out 129, or going down to 275 and then 52. Distance is longer going 275 but time estimate is the same, and looks a lot easier.

Any recommendations?

If you take 129, it hits 126 which is what I'm taking. 126 runs straight to Brookville. We could meet somewhere in Brookville and caravan from there. The 126 route is a bit curvy, but faster for me since it runs next to my neighborhood.

[blazerbrad]

Give me a time and place and I will be there. Can you also PM your number?

Short day of wheelin' for me. Before noon noticed the front tires were not turning to the right very far. Found the driver's side front spring had a sheared center pin and the bottom leaf (short and thick) was missing. This allowed the axle to walk back about 3". While trying to pull the axle back forward I walked over to the passenger side and found the shackle to frame bolt sheered off, probably because of the stress caused by the drivers side. After messing with it for awhile I put a ratchet strap between the axle and front bumper and drove out. On the access road the driver's rear tire decided to go flat for some reason (pumped it up and it was still fine as of this evening). Wound up bringing the trailer and loading it up and heading home.

Oh well, was wanting to modify the front spring pads a little to push the axle forward. Now have an excuse to do it.

[Runoveru2]

Pretty good day at Haspin today, pretty sure it would be Brad that had the most carnage/ issues today, First it was a broke center pin on the front driverside with bottom leaf spring falling out (which we looked for and never found), then his shackle bolt for the passenger fell out somewhere leaving his front axle wanting to go where ever it wanted to go, he was lucky and able to drive it to the fire road only too loose all the air in his rear driverside tire, we decided to go and get truck and Trailer to load it up, Jeff would come in second with a few tire issues and to end his run would be a cracked and bent track bar mount on the axle housing. Driving a razor for the day was a learning experience more than what I thought it would be, would really take alot of time to get used to it and know what it is capable of. Will post up some picks

the shackle bolt shearing is a common issue. i sheared both front frame side shackle bolts last may at the badlands with nothing else broken. mine got a trail fix of an allen wrench welded in place of the bolt on one side that is still there actually.

I swear I ran over that leaf about half way back to Brookville. Not sure if Jimmy saw it.

No never saw it but it's a good possibility you did.

I broke another one years ago. It was one of the greasable ones I had bought through Offroad Design and after talking with them it was a known bad batch. Probably just put a regular grade 8 in it's place as the greasables ones will never take grease after a few months it seems like.

FYI - that rear tire that went flat is still pumped up as of 15 minutes ago....
