Well... I broke it.

Attempted to run Moody Hill today. I put my front swaybar back on in anticipation of this trail, as I had a feeling that I wouldn't want as much travel as I have without it.

On the first optional obstacle I attempted, I tore the driver's CV boot. I'm honestly surprised it made it this long through all of the trails I've done! Alright, no big deal, I'll just reboot it later.





Then came the second optional obstacle.. the rock quarry. I'm not 100% sure what happened, but I think the extra travel I gained from the UCAs combined with being full lock put the CVs at a weird angle. Apparently the sway bar wasn't enough... Heard a pop, took a look, and saw the CV basically in pieces.





The CV would flop around, as it wasn't connected at all at the hub. I was able to pull it out entirely without taking out a single bolt. I also covered the diff opening as best I could, hopefully keeping all of the dirt out.

I think I'm going to go ahead and replace both CVs while I'm at it, hopefully giving me a spare (the current driver's side). Limiting straps are also going to be installed sometime soon, so that I hopefully don't have this issue again!

On another note, after installing the UCAs, slightly banked turns (think driving up a canyon road) make my skid control come on. Don't have a clue why, or how to fix it, but it's another thing that made its way onto the list of stuff to do.

Hey, on the bright side, it looked good!
