De Hammered

Caddishack18 · Mar 7, 2009

Almost done de-hammering the buggy. Took top lights off, gps out, took off the winch and Powertank mount, and took the radio out. No real damage to anything. The only thing I found was the bolt tha is on the base of the steering cylinder was 2 turns from being free, it still woulda had to come out the top mount. I broke a limit strap due to wear and had another one close so I orderd 2 from poly perfomance. I did send my struts in to Racerunner to let them go through them again. All and all the buggy came through unscathed. Moab is in 4 weeks! Git-er-done!!!!!

Brian would you mind sending me some pics of your fuel cell? I need to look at something before the Rausch Creek event possibly.

Speeking of Rausch Creek, Who all is going? I'm thinking about it, ever since the new buggy was completed I'm getting more and more into trail running at high speeds. Mays going to be a tough month for alot of racers. Grey rock then Rausch Creek then Uhwharrie. Looks like April is prep month.

Hit those unit bearing bolts! The rears were loose at Cal Rocks pit.

Did them yesterday! That right rear may have been my fault, I had it off the week before and may have not gotten it tight.

I will be going. Hell yeah it is going to be tough, 2 weeks after Grayrock and 3 weeks before Jellico.

I am keeping mine as is, except the nets. GPS will be cool for trail rides and it has a speedo. Trying to put my light bar on but it is missing a piece.

Even the spare tar? I remember when I used to roll with my spare on the back.

Hell no, I will keep the mount on but the tire is a big heavy bitch that makes getting into the rear cargo area very hard

We dehammered today as well.Only damage was the sheered bolts in the rear brake bracket.I'll be sending the parts back to Spidertrax for replacement.AC has to fix the leak in the rear ARB and she's ready to go.

I was surprised mine didn't have any more damage. Everything seems ok for the most part. Found a few loose bolts, but the links are all tight and the damage seems minimal. Steering pump was just low on fluid, filled it up and it was quiet again. I put in a new temp gauge, and hopefully I find out what is really up with the cooling system
