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
drivers side

passenger side

see anything wrong yet?

made a nice squeaking sound

the result-bye bye sway bar for some time

broke them right off, i know im huge...jk jk

and since i was working on the truck, bye bye mudflaps



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...

 

good job

 

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

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

 

all the wheeling pics are on my cell and i dont have service where i live, but tomorrow while im at class ill send them to my email and post em up tomorrow...as for pictures of the truck, gimme a minute or two and ill have em up...

 

just a couple of truck pics for kyle




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

 

ahh use photobucket.com i think kyle is jealous

 

one of the pics from offroading, this was right at the beginning of the trail, before my buddys jeep got stuck and it took us 3 hours to get him out


thats my buddy in the truck not me, and yes he is wearing teal pants, we were just snowboarding before that, not that snowboarding makes it ok to wear teal pants

 

Your truck looks good man and so does that house!! Those wheels look good on your truck

Hahaha, you know it elton.

by the way, its www.photobucket.com. Excuse elton, he has too much post whoring to do to properly spell bucket.

 

haha, yea i use photobucket exclusively. its the easiest to use...ill get more pics from the offroading tomorrow, im sure it will include quite a few of a stuck jeep, a jeep that loses a front bumper, a stuck cherokee, and a yota had no problems at all...

 

hahahaha

looking at those pics i cant say i remember my sway bar end links sticking out that far from the control arm. guess ill have to crawl under my truck this weekend and take a look...

 

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???

 

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!

 

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

 

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

 

another picture of the 3 hours stuck in the woods...more to come

another jeeps bumper who tried to pull the green jeep out...haha good thing that kid is really good at welding

 

Where were you guys in NJ?

 

bah you just did yourself a favor

swaybars are for wusses
