Elbe Wheelin

algranger · 06-27-2009, 05:16 PM

Well we wheeled Elbe Hills today. Just me and Plumbrbob

To start the day rob flagged me down and informed me that my ubolts fell off.... wtf

almost lost my front axle

So a half hour of crawlingn around in the mud and were off

We ran a few light trails and then

Those of you that have wheeled with me know this made me super happy

So much for self cleaning tires

Youtube's of Rob are in the works

self cleaning tires don't work too well with glue.. lol

You need to use some Pam cooking spray so the mud doesnt' stick.. DUH>>>>>

new motor was great no complants great low end torque, BUT I fried a alternator, pretty sure I have a bad thermostat and blew up a rear wheel cylinder on the way home LOL

Well at least I got home on my own power and those things are easy to fix should be all good to go by sunday afternoon already have the alternator out and the thermo housing removed

Hydro assist ram was a pleasant mod no more super bindage with the locked up front

I have one.
I love it, not because it's the best, it's not.
I love it because it has been there when I needed it.

It stores flat almost anywhere.
You hardly even know its there, but when you need it, it's there.

jackwolf · 06-27-2009, 06:35 PM

All right boys, there is the depth...place your bets.

BigBluePile · 06-27-2009, 06:36 PM

Definitely, it fits nicely in the floorboard, i've used it to build the motor in my trail rig (everything from setting the pistons) and i replace TONS of head gaskets with it, endless list of trail fixes... never failed me

YES!! They are quite handy

Youtube was being lame so i used photobucket.

You can see at the end just how slippery this mud is, rob is spinning all four 36" TSL's and not moving, theres not even anything in his way

And the ever so nasty mud hole

Oh and can you see that little bit of mud peeking out from the water? That is a giant dam of mud (maybe 2' tall and 3' long) thats what the stick was there for, a marker

scuba · 06-27-2009, 07:10 PM
