Trogdor636 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 Of course I know Chico- infamous for the awesome Chico state lol Chico is not the same crazy party town it used to be. They put the entire town on lock down for Halloween, St Patty's day etc. Still a cool town though, and home of the Hulas, the best Mongolian BBQ I've ever eaten.

devonianwalk Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 ... If you're bending tie rods, you're using way too much skinny pedal. Case in point (I learned my lesson) ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0hU2Oug4bSQ#t=43s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stioc Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Agreed on the skinny pedal. The theory goes that the wheel without traction gets all the spinning power as opposed to being equally distributed. When that spinning wheel catches traction all of a sudden the tires hooks in and the weakest link (tie rods, cvs on a IFS) succumbs to the strong forces.

XPLORx4 Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 I would advise purchasing a longer length of rubber tubing to replace your differential breather hose, which appears to have become disconnected, before you attempt driving in deep liquids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea. yup all that needs to be done is trim the top and adjust the ride height half coil at a time but leave a little rake so when the new coils wear in itll sit level I would advise purchasing a longer length of rubber tubing to replace your differential breather hose, which appears to have become disconnected, before you attempt driving in deep liquids. its been done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcass72 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 When you made your strut spacers, did you make them flat or cut them at a specific degree?(Talking about the spacer between the two strud plates.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
