My son just turned 2 and he has been out with me since he was about 8 months. If the going got too rough my wide would take him out and walk the trail. Or I would intentionally take a bypass not to bounce him too much if he was sleeping. The whole time Thomas the train is playing in the DVD player. He's the little guy in my avatar

That's awesome! I also like the color of your truck in the avatar

Whatever floats your temporarily patched boat!

And mike, I found the dynamic balancer on my diff! It's supposed to be straight down haha.

Nah, this looks pretty damn good. I don't think it's going anywhere. They didn't seem concerned about the muffler rusting.

I know the balancer is bent. I'm going to remove it one day, heat and bend the bracket straight and repaint it since it's starting to rust already where the paint chipped off.

It'd be pretty hard for a stainless steel muffler to rust out....

There ya go...I didn't know it was stainless. Even though once the surface is damaged, they can still corrode.

False. It can oxidize, but stainless steel is an alloy of sorts, specifically blended not to do so.

If your wife finds out you called her "wide" you're gonna be the one walking.:wow2: :lmao: I've only taken Lauren a couple times on mild trails but she loves it, I see no reason why kids can't go wheeling just buckle em up :boink:

Ya they usually rust from the inside out but definitely last much longer than steel

Hey Mass hole, I was using a jack. You always block the wheels before you jack up your truck :ybrick:

And you know what! My e-brake mod has kept my truck where I parked it without fail!

How many people does it take to change a tire?

 

[emelianenkov]

Let the record show that Billy, the owner of the amazing AT tires, ended up finishing on a spare tire while my street tires stood strong! :lol:

Just messin with ya buddy! I had an awesome time and I think I sense a wrangler project in the near future

 

[Qjake]

Ya that sucked getting a flat, can't believe I snapped the valve stem in half :moping:
Oh well had plenty of help changing it. I've already ordered another wheel and tire for a spare :thumb3:

Good pic of the flex test I had a score of 440...what was yours again??? :wink2:

My flex was 392 I believe. I'm not surprise it was so ****ty :shrug: I have the least amount of $$$ in performance gear there.

Glad you got a spare. If it doesn't fit underneath, give my buddy at Xtor4x4.com a call. He has some AWESOME tire carriers that fit in your hitch, with 2 D-rings for pulling me out! :lol:

Lol. Redneck tetris xD

 

[Qjake]

"Redneck Tetris" Thats to funny haha

Is there a web site for said tire carrier? Or maybe a pic or two? I like my rear view camera so really don't wanna block it. Suppose I could relocate it eh.
