I had already climbed it once, and I circled back around to do it again. I guess it's a good thing I did, because if this happened anywhere else on up the mountain it could've been a really bad day. </p><p></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/n_9cqfG2JGM" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/n_9cqfG2JGM</a></p><p></p><p>Just before that video I had tried it and didn't make it, apparently when I slid back the right side upper link tower started bending. If you look close as I'm pulling up to the waterfall the link tower is already bent a little bit. Then when I hammered it and bounced it folded up. That caused the whole axle to shift left several inches and the driveshaft actually hit my engine skid and snapped the pinion shaft off. </p><p></p><p>Thankfully I have good friends that helped me get it off the waterfall and thankfully it happened where it did. I was able to go get my truck and trailer and drive right to it to load it up. </p><p></p><p><a href="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/boomboom33/media/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/1C6F3000-FF6E-4CA6-88C0-2EF48FD9FAAF_zpskgajotpq.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/boomboom33/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/1C6F3000-FF6E-4CA6-88C0-2EF48FD9FAAF_zpskgajotpq.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/boomboom33/media/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/2EB63EAC-72B8-4BB2-AC04-6B710919A752_zpskkixlt2z.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/boomboom33/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/2EB63EAC-72B8-4BB2-AC04-6B710919A752_zpskkixlt2z.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/boomboom33/media/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/0F0FF2DD-0370-4C5C-BF52-ED8D0246715C_zpsrsobu8tl.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/boomboom33/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/0F0FF2DD-0370-4C5C-BF52-ED8D0246715C_zpsrsobu8tl.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/boomboom33/media/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/F262A216-1D31-468A-92B4-CADB9ED05815_zpsneiq6k2a.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/boomboom33/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/F262A216-1D31-468A-92B4-CADB9ED05815_zpsneiq6k2a.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/boomboom33/media/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/7B61FAF6-223D-4991-9396-4D06B9F4D180_zpscsxfuqmo.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/boomboom33/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/7B61FAF6-223D-4991-9396-4D06B9F4D180_zpscsxfuqmo.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/boomboom33/media/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/25A69CAF-878A-4C26-9E48-CA9F53BE2B39_zpsyjaudctm.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/boomboom33/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/25A69CAF-878A-4C26-9E48-CA9F53BE2B39_zpsyjaudctm.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p><a href="http://s38.photobucket.com/user/boomboom33/media/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/56C206C6-3EF5-4AD1-918A-627805AD078B_zps9syx0qhl.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e102/boomboom33/Project%20Redneck%20Rock%20Rod/56C206C6-3EF5-4AD1-918A-627805AD078B_zps9syx0qhl.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a></p><p></p><p>It was just a failure on my part to gusset the link mount properly.

It dented the tube around my light bar a bit, scratched the roof a little, knocked one of my RaceMirrors off, killed to storage rack, cracked some body panels, and broke my pride. Haha! We rolled it back over and other than a little oil in the intake and a little smoke it started and ran fine. We headed from there to Whitetail and ran it without issue.

I had already climbed it once, and I circled back around to do it again. I guess it’s a good thing I did, because if this happened anywhere else on up the mountain it could’ve been a really bad day. [url=https://youtu.be/n_9cqfG2JGM]https://youtu.be/n_9cqfG2JGM[/url] Just before that video I had tried it and didn’t make it, apparently when I slid back the right side upper link tower started bending. If you look close as I’m pulling up to the waterfall the link tower is already bent a little bit. Then when I hammered it and bounced it folded up. That caused the whole axle to shift left several inches and the driveshaft actually hit my engine skid and snapped the pinion shaft off. Thankfully I have good friends that helped me get it off the waterfall and thankfully it happened where it did. I was able to go get my truck and trailer and drive right to it to load it up.

It was just too tall without enough support. Since the housing was already a little warped to begin with and I’ll have to cut so much off to fix the link tower I’m going to replace it with an aftermarket housing using all my parts from this one. I actually found a Trail Gear housing on Facebook today and made a deal on it. It may be a little slow, but I will fix it and it will be back better than before [/QUOTE]
