[NotMatt]

Are you ready to take this out on Sunday? Both Jeff and Rachel are bugging me about going to Reiter and I'm trying to hold them off until your shakedown run, because I'm tearing my rig apart after that (once I get into my house).

Hurry up!

Did you end up going to reiter today jonathan?

 

[Lincolnlock]

Yes he went. Ripped the front yoke out of his driveline because of the shackle reversal. We are in the process of cutting out the shackle reversal and putting them in the front. Oh yeah... he took a pretty good flop and trashed his hood in the rock garden.

Why not just build a long slip drive line?

That hould have been done with the shackle reversal.

It had a long slip driveline. The reason it broke is because the yoke bound up when the front end unloaded on vertical stuff.

I have a long slip. It wasnt because of the slip, its because my springs would wrap and my pinion would dive towards the ground - bound up the u joint at the pinion. I didnt like how the front end would walk away and unload on climbs. Live and learn
