just a lil damage...
 
EDIT!!!More pictures at bottom for all you picture whores

so me and some buddies did some offroading last week when there was still some snow/ice on the trail. it was pretty warm so we broke thru the ice, but ive run the trail a million times in a bunch of vehicles so i know where its deep and where it isnt...

well finally ive paid the price and gotten a mild but of trail damage

also lost the clamp on the outer boot of my drivers side cv joint, you can see it on the top of the thid pic...that will have to be replaced soon too, but i wont be driving in 4wheel for a bit....also rearranged my rear bumper, pics of that will be up soon..

as for driving without the sway, so far it doesnt seem to be too too bad...

yea i know, im kinda concerned now with how far those endlinks stuck out, im thinking they were either stock and not designed well, aftermarket and cheap, or aftermarket and the wrong ones, i really dont think they should stick that far out of the lower A arm...when i replace ill be going either quick disco, or try and find something that doesnt jut out like that

I think that elton should have all of his 3 or less word posts removed from his total post count :saw:

Haha, nice work man. Can we get some pictures of your whole truck? How come no pictures of the wheeling. You have to understand that us YotaTechers are picture whores

that last one is tiny cuz i resized it to use it for my avatar, but i cant seem to get that to work lol

and as for my house being a mess, were doing two additions, all our stuff is in that trailer that was in the way to redo 4 of the rooms, including the kitchen, and the dumpster has been emptied three times already lol...but now that its warm enough to work outside, time to start putting the hardibacker siding up

Elton 03-28-2007 06:22 PM

ahh use photobucket.com i think kyle is jealous

91TPU 03-28-2007 06:27 PM

yea im thinking about just rolling without it, only thing is i do drive on the highway quite a bit...so id like to have the added steering stability...

im also looking at quick discos, id like to get some from wabbit, but i cant find them on his website...where are the quick discos wabbit???

Swissdrums 03-28-2007 07:25 PM

Man, as soon i saw the pics i could tell ur truck was from the north east! Looks the same as mine!

Nice body, but underbody rust is bad...oh well

Nice Truck man! I got rid of my sway bar long ago!

tc 03-28-2007 07:31 PM

Truck looks like it's in great shape. Better get some sliders on it before it's not!

My end links broke, took off the sway bar and never looked back. It's a 3.0 truck - how fast you really going to be taking corners anyways? LOL

yea the truck is in OK shape, there is a lot of stuff that i know about that you cant see in the pictures...but i just need some warm summer months and all that will be taken care of along with my lift...and sliders will def be on the way after i buy a welder.

as for the sway bar, i drove at 75 on route 80 today and didnt notice and severe changes, its a lil looser, but i can deal with it

amgraham 03-29-2007 06:16 AM

I don't have swaybars either and I can guarantee you my COG is a lot higher.. I don't even notice the roll anymore but I do get some complaints from people saying they feel like it's going to flip and I have to assure them it's not :)
