So Sam #042 and I, Kevin, #008, went out and did a little wheeling today. We did a pretty hard trail called twisted. I ended up falling in pretty bad and broke apart my driver side knuckle. I also cracked the hub dial and broke the gear that is in the hub dial. I ended up having to get winched backwards and a lot of highlifting to avoid taking the wheel off the axle. Here are a couple pics of the carnage.

To get it fixed I had my roomate bring me a passenger side knuckle out to me, its all that I had. So I put that on the driver side. The steering arm didnt line up perfectly so I ended up putting a big punch down through the steering arm and bearing. I also didnt have brakes getting out of there as well.

The TG knuckle studs and the longfield axles and hub gear were not harmed in the filming of this.

Oh and I almost forgot :)

Sam decided to try to turn around in a narrow canyon when I was working on my stuff and his vehicle got tired. It decided it wanted to lay down :shaking::shaking::shaking:

So thats the fun I missed by dirtbike ridding with my son :D

That's a mean looking trail. I wish I could go.

Ouch! I haven't tried twisted yet. We were going to hit it during the Marathon, but due to a broken output shaft on another Toy Truggy we didn't get that far.

Does this mean your out for PUSU:flipoff2:

I wasnt planning on competing in PUSU. I dont think my rig or myself are truely ready for it. There are way too many things not completed and not ironed out. I might come out on sunday with sam just to watch and offer moral support.

damn...rachel wasn't kiddin when she said she had to go rescue a couple f-toys. :laughing:

glad to see ya got it outta there. even iffn yer not competing, lookin forward to seein ya out at PUSU.

damn looks like I missed a good run I'll have to meet up with you guys after the 18th of January so we can run something good

Kevin must have a camera program that allows him to take a picture of a ftoy just sitting on a trail and rotate the car so that it appears to be on its side!!! Amazing....
