Damage Report 9-5-09

[Pacifier]

After about less than a mile of trail riding, Blair and I both managed to get our vehicles out of commission. The latest trail that we marked and cut has proven not to be a joke. Here are a few pictures to probe it.

Diego = Clutch destroyed, broken windshield, some body damage, pulled back to the front of the trail by Yetti's 4-wheeler :tinysmile_cry_t2:

Blair = Broken passenger side u-joint, bent short axle shaft.

What was it you said to me a few days ago, it's not the trail (or the rig), it's the driver? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

[Pacifier]

OH... no.... Wait until you see the pictures that Theresa took. I should have never attempted to go through there, but I did. Bottom line is... I made it. :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Ha ha ha ha! Hear hear! And my rig made it with only a ding in the fender ;-)

[richs347]

It sounds like the trail is still in the 'being made' stage.

[Pacifier]

I got a $100 neither one of you guys can make it through :tinysmile_aha_t:

Man up..... any takers?

[TheYeti1775]

I got a $100 neither one of you guys can make it through :tinysmile_aha_t:

Man up..... any takers?
I'll take it with the same ride I had today.

Heather will let me go play to make a quick $100.
Actually I went right through it behind you with no rubbing. :D

Far as my carnage, I did rub my skid plate a little might need to recover it with mud.

[Pacifier]

That's like me saying I can do it on foot and make $100. :tinysmile_twink_t2:

See you tomorrow for round two.

[JeepPfeil]

what time are we meeting ? would you help do the repair at bob's (if he lets us )

[Pacifier]

Sure..... why not... All you have to do is buy lunch (pizza) deal?

[Frankpapa]

That's one powerful ATV :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

But how about pics pulling the Sami?

[Pacifier]

No pics... sorry to disappoint you :tinysmile_twink_t2:

[Frankpapa]

:tinysmile_cry_t4:

[TheYeti1775]

I pulled it to fast for folks to get pics.

[richs347]

Just a little more damage today.. A rear corner met with a tree for a few scrapes and minor denting.. not mine. More trails built.

[Jagged73]

Where are you guys cutting this trail at? Is it on private land?

[H2_RECOVERY]

it is on private land.

[Pacifier]

Fixed... New windshield and window trim bar.

looks good D :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

[blthomas]

He's got skeeeelz yo!

[Pacifier]

Other than reverse not currently working at the moment, Diablito is good to go thanks to Blair.

Everything shifts smooth, there are no leaks, nothing is grinding..... I have no idea why reverse is not working. I will need to do some research to identify the problem. Anyway, here are some pics.

[JeepPfeil]

I saw a stock sammy today, I wanted to pull out the remote and start it up

[Pacifier]

Too bad you can pull the remote with mine :tinysmile_eyebrow_t

I know the feeling when I was at the junkyard picking parts and realizing how tiny these things really are.

I should be able to make a gulch trip this weekend. Most likely Sunday morning.

[JeepPfeil]

well i'm not scheduled to work saturday night or sunday morning

[blthomas]

It sure did go together well, and after driving it (both of us) I sure don't get why it won't drop into reverse.

Shifts great 1 - 5 ...... gotta be something other than the clutch.

EDIT: I think we ought to tinker with that clutch linkage with the adjusting rod. I think maybe something is out of adjustment a bit due to the new clutch being ginormous. Just kicking that idea around while reading stuff.

[H2_RECOVERY]

Where are the pictures of the trans on the floor? Diego quit deleting things! I need to see what the top of the trans looks like so i can see what you guys did wrong. is it going into reverse yet?

[Pacifier]

Here you Mike

Could we have monkied something up when it was down?

We dropped it and pushed it to the side, then D did some minor stuff when it was sitting on the pan.

[Pacifier]

Update: The f%$#^%$ clutch cable broke while adjusting, now I can't get the tranny into any gears..... Piece of S@#$%t..... :tinysmile_eyebrow_t

I'm going to bed and I'll get to it when ever I get to it. Not anytime soon, that's for sure. :tinysmile_cry_t:

[H2_RECOVERY]

Man that sucks! Hey did you guys take the extension housing off the top of the trans where the shifter drops down into it?

[Pacifier]

Yes, I did. I replaced the bushings and the shifter bolt (holds the shifter in place). I may just have to buy a new transmission and quit F%&^%^ around with this one. Just to make me feel better, I ended up buying a windshield fold down kit, hood latches, and a new clutch cable until I figure out in what direction I'm going to head. What a pain in the ass. I guess I won't be wheeling anytime soon. :tinysmile_cry_t4:

Who cares.... Football season will keep me busy. :tinysmile_twink_t2:

[Frankpapa]

Come on out to the gulch and we'll wheel my 99 accord :eek:

[toy_tundra]

Come on out to the gulch and we'll wheel my 99 accord :eek:

I would definitely pay to see that.

[Frankpapa]

I would definitely pay to see that.


Hmmm. Fundraising idea for the gulch??? :tinysmile_fatgrin_t

[Pacifier]

It all depends on how wasted I get tonight with the neighbors. :tinysmile_twink_t2:

[TheYeti1775]

Hmmm. Fundraising idea for the gulch??? :tinysmile_fatgrin_t
Fundraising I say $10 entry 75% going to Gulch, 25% to winner. Lap Time Trials.

[Pacifier]

Too bad 4 wheelers don't count.

[TheYeti1775]

Makes me the perfect judge than.

[H2_RECOVERY]

SHIFTER BOLT? Did you count the turns out and put the new bolt in the same mount of turns? Was the bolt the same size and length? This might limit if the shifter will allow the trans to go into reverse.

[Pacifier]

Good to know..... It may be pushed too far in. I will tinker with it tomorrow after work and see if that does the trick. ???

[H2_RECOVERY]

I will look at alldata tomorrow to see for sure.

[Pacifier]

Thanks... I hope everything goes well with your surgery on Tuesday.

[blthomas]

Hoping it's something that simple, that would be awesome.

I dented the right rear corner pretty bad, left rear is pushed in a little around the light, and the fenders took more beatings.

Tried to squeeze past a tree on passenger, kissed the windsheild frame. Didn't pop the glass, but mangled the metal some.

Need to grab the tire carrier from Mike's shop when he gets bettererer.

Thinking of doing some light fab with a pipe bender and the welder for my front fenders. If they come out decent, I'll do the rears and maybe open them up a tad. I dunno. Don't want to cut the tub.

I also managed to bang the exhuast enough to knock apart two clamped joints. Guess I'll crank them down and then tack them also so the muffler doesn't dissappear.

As well as power steering is still loosing fluid way too fast. And the carb still dibbles when it's parked.

And a couple of us got stung AGAIN. Mothlfukling bees.

[Pacifier]

Chiggapuss also dented her passenger rear corner. It looks BaD..... :tinysmile_twink_t2:

[cococj]

Will it buff out???

You just need to keep some of those corners on hand for immediate delivery.

[Pacifier]

I got pricing for them already :tinysmile_eyebrow_t

[JeepinSoldier]

Wow D! You beat that thing like stepchild. Awesome :D

[Pacifier]

Update.... A new clutch cable has been installed and I'm now back to where I started, still no reverse. Why can I get the shifter in reverse? On the good note, at least my junk moves again :tinysmile_eyebrow_t

[Pacifier]

Diablito has made a full recovery. Blair and I tore throught the trails this afternoon. Speaking of tearing, I dented my rear bumper and Blair tore his exhaust. I can't wait to do it again on Sunday, wheeling that is.

Strike a pose :)

[Frankpapa]

That's some bad hat, Billy.

[toy_tundra]

It looks like Sammi is eating Billy ha ha ha

[blthomas]

Lots of fun with Diego as usual, Billy and Bob rode around too. That bottom most trail gnarly.

I lost my exhaust on Stinger just north of "the pit".

We trail blazed just making some simple fun cut throughs, but one of them is kinda neat since you have to cross a bunch of little logs.

Riding with Billy, we noticed another gully that once cleaned out should make a fun loop coming up the hill outside of the left loop at you stare at ballsack intersection.

I plan on taking tools and at least starting to work on it Sunday. Probably go early just cause.

:tinysmile_fatgrin_t

Mike come out dude. Supposed to be gorgeous weather.

[H2_RECOVERY]

Blair, I'm gonna hold off until Roush Creek. This will give my arm time to heel more just in case I slip or fall. I can't afford to go through this again Bro. Too much pain and limitation of movement with my right arm right now.

Thank you for naming that spot where the ballsack tree is: Ballsack Junction

Fair enough. Will miss you and your cuttin up, but health is more important for sure. :tinysmile_twink_t2:

I like Ballsack junction way better than Ballsack intersection.

I say we move for an offical naming of that spot there as. :tinysmile_classes_t

[cococj]

I'm planning on coming out this afternoon.
