Well I haven't had much time to work on the machine but I have been trying to narrow it down more and more I replaced injectors when all of this started and it didnt really help much I have also put in new fuel filters and air filters also replaced lift pump bc I have heard they are bad about...

It used to have a hammer but now has hydraulic thumb and it is working fine I haven't had time to check turbo yet but that was what I was leaning to before I asked just was wondering if these machines had some common issues that it could have been

Just kinda wondering if anyone on here is a diesel or heavy equipment tech I have a trackhoe I bought that has been blowing black smoke and I understand that is over fueling and swapped injectors with no change. I dont really know if I need to be looking at turbo or injection pump it is a 2004...

I use 1/8 ar 500 welded to the bottom bars just a few welds that can easily be cut out if needed you dont have to use thick plate if it is ar500 or ar400 if you have good braces on the chassis it wont bend or distort and slides like glass across rocks bc it is so hard they dont gouge into it...

No rockwell's yet only had time to take it riding once since I finished it. Went to hale and had a good run it was different to say the least but it is fun and climbs like a cocaine fueled Billy goat. I want to try some different tire combos just to see the difference but it is definitely cool...

Funny story about duct tape on the inner bead I had a set of wire out iroks that only worked at like 3 psi but would de-bead all the time so got tired of messing with it and did 6 rounds of gorilla tape and had to buff down the edge with a flap wheel to get the bead to get started over the...

That is the waterfall it is in between middle access and at the end of lower access it is nasty when wet bc you have to one shot it and can5 crawl it but dry you can crawl it with ease in the right line

Yes.......

Yea on my big buggy I have found that with +20 psi it seems to do better and handle alot more predictable also allows me to hit stuff with more momentum and to be honest it has been so long since I have ever aired down I didn't even think about it

Are you saying groove as in cut the rubber between the tread blocks to make them lighter and deeper treads or are you saying break the tread into two pieces. I think on rock they are perfect but they dont have deep enough tread for mud they just slick over

Well it was very good experience the buggy is nothing like anything I have ever wheeled it is a straight technical crawler if you and put tires on dry rock or keep from dragging belly it will climb it but the only downside is the smaller tires and low belly clearance that ledge in the picture is...
