What clutches is most everyone using?
mine appears to be fading fast.
I ran the Centerforce 2 back in the 90's but that was on an 85 Toy with 44" Ground Hawgs... worked great back then.

 

Your truck got posted again in the Rocks to Riches>>> https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f121...ontest-285149/

 

That's freaking sweet man! They got a couple pretty cool shots of your rig

 

 

Which means the guys in the Ford and Jeep forum are going to be jealous again.
We have to battle two other forums for a set of tires

Edit-
Redeth- nice job on the video

 

This is very cool, I havnt done that trail in years. The pictures bring back memories. Grats on getting picked!

I have a lot more pictures to share of Richard and they are all uploaded now to Photobucket, but I'm still trying to upload videos and my phone is freaking out, so I just uploaded most of mine for now and then I will upload his to a separate album so that he can grab them as well.

I also wanted to share this as a big deal for me and very ecstatic! Tons of gear and I'm pretty much good to go when I pick up the tank today. It is a Hobart handler 210 MPV / 115 / 230 bolt Quick Connect dual-purpose voltage welder with a huge range and just such an incredible deal that I can't even mention it, I promised the guy that hooked me up at Tractor Supply Company. The car is amazing quality believe it or not from harbor freight and I got such a screaming deal that I couldn't pass it up. I paid less for something with 200 pounds more capacity then I would have getting a cheaper hundred pound capacity Hobart card or something of the sort. SO EXCITED! ...

On Turkey Claw at King of the Hammers - 2015....



As you can see in this next pic, a buddy in the truck before me went up and pulled that boulder under my rear end down from the top of the falls on Turkey claw...



It got wedged between the drive shaft and rolled over onto my axle after dragging it forward about a foot. I got boned up enough that it snapped the passenger side rear 30 spline factory Toyota axle, went off like a nine millimeter, pop! Hahaha. Took a good hit on the front passenger fender but that actually kept me from flopping. We got it up over and all the way through this now pretty nasty trail three legs, one wheel drive in the rear...!

Got back to camp, then the next morning a buddy that had someone coming from his house in Apple Valley brought me out a replacement axle and we went on like nothing happened. Oh yeah, took out the rear turn signal as well but no damage to any body around it! 4xinnovations.com rear beast bumper ftw!



Also FIXED!....



The fender that saved me from a full nap on the passenger side! Lol....



I will have that fixed in no time as I am picking up both zander just for the heck of it and both doors from a donor that a buddy has!

More KOH 2015....

REP'N YOTATECH ON ALL SIDES!









Me and Jonnyboy ....







Home safe on their own 4 feet!



Heading off to some night wheeling...



Some beauties.....








LOWRANGEOFFROAD.COM FTW! ...















Better picture of the same beauty I was really admiring last year. Really peeping out this EXO! Lol....



@chasington from INSTAGRAM! I'm not sure if he's on here, but I'm going to find out. Anyway, this thing is sick and I got to say hello to him and about 50 other people that follow me on instagram! Everyone was so cool and fun to talk to! Definitely should go check this guy out on Instagram or anywhere else, because this thing is a beast!....



Where everyone lines up on the hillside to go watch the competition on Chocolate Thunder trail!...



So much cool stuff out there!.....



Something pictures I got to try and show some of the stuff I've been doing. I will do an update on my build thread because it's been quite a bit of work. I moved the axle forward in the front 2.5" and back 1" in the rear. Put in Old Man Emu CS 009 R - RUF, prepared where my gearbox almost ripped out but did manage to crush the frame a little bit, fully plated and gusseted and welded in and rewelded the frame to the front crossmember and moved the gearbox forward to the core support and clocked the box to almost parallel with the frame and slapped in a flat Pitman..... Along with quite a bit more.....

Some yotatech love!







By the way, we started out with this rental thing, towing my truck, so that we could actually chill out in comfort for once out there... I didn't even make it to the 15 and the transmission blew up! Left that day hoping to get there by 6 o'clock or so and didn't even get there till midnight!...

...

The guy who rented it to me was a total knob and very unprofessional and I will never go with anything other than an established reputable company ever again. I learned my lesson.... ! ...

***********************************

Socal854runner and the rest of the group or so awesome and hospitable! @all4offroad Renato is always such a gracious dude and so much fun as well! Other buddies over there @@pritch_diggs @dlar4x4 @philnoutdoorsy also were very helpful in getting me back to camp after I snapped the axle, and @jameswfreitas & @shawnafreitas of @kiss_my_axle we're the ones that have their relative bring me out an actual within 45 minutes of figuring out where mine snapped off.( it broke off clean at the taper and came right out of the brand new Detroit equipped diff with a long magnet that I have.....

Huge thanks again to Jonnyboy of yotatech.com who actually had to take the trailer and gear back to LA and drop it off at U Haul and then drive all the way back the next morning on Friday, the day of the races end! Was a lot of help during the week where I was preparing and repairing getting ready for hammers. Thanks again brother! .... I will get over to my thread and post up all the stuff that I did over the last few weeks after breaking pretty well at Cougar Buttes with redeth005 and @all_yota 's Zach


Definitely will post more much more regarding all the repairs I've been doing and modifications. I also fabricated a special bump stop for the dragon right side that was making contact with the frame on. Since I've now put 14 and shocks up front up in the engine bay, etcetera etcetera etcetera. It's been a labor of love and I love to share but I've just been so busy. Please follow me also on Instagram under the same name @chefyota4x4 !

 

Cool stuff bro

 

Nice Mark!

Are you gonna upgrade to a set of chromoly rear axles?

 

Awesome trip and thanks for sharing, Mark. And field axle repairs? Good to have experts with the right tools!

 

Looks like a great time you had. Ouch on the dings. Enjoyed seeing the early Bronco. I gave up on finding a descent Bronco and is how I found the Toyotas. Those are hard to find that are even worth fixing around here and then they want a fortune for one.

To bad on the camper breaking down on you. They do make camping so much easier. I do not miss the tent days. I have a large camper but sometimes a small pop up camper is handier to have and they have all of the amenities that the larger ones have. Might be something you want to check out for next year.

 

Awesome pics! Those rock lights are awesome

 

Might, buddy, but I'm likely going to hold off on that for full floaters. I'd rather save that for now and put it into the motor swap.

 

HOMIE! Long time, man! I keep wanting to meet up with you guys at some event or another, maybe Rubicon next time. Are you going to Parker or anything of the sort?

Possibly, but I will likely wait until I go full floater for that. I'm absolutely adamant about having any break and if I go disc back there it's not going to be a transfer case break. Celica calipers, whatever ... Wish I could have seen you out there brother!

Yep, I had all the tools I needed including a long telescopic high strength magnet, which absolutely saved my ass! Wish you could have been out there brother, it was crazy fun!

Seriously, those Broncos are big bucks too! I sleep very comfortable in my truck, but I wanted to be even more comfortable for once! A pop-up camper is just more maintenance, but I would love to own one. But usually no bathroom, and that's the main reason I wanted the darn RV in the first place. A stove and a bathroom with a shower.

Thanks buddy!
