So how do you get yourself in such a stupid pickle...and have smoke rollin' out of the rear diff at the same time???

Must be a heep thing...I wouldn't understand....

Not showing up... damn! I wanna see!

My guess is somebody on their rear door at the huge wall...

Hmmm....not sure why it's not working for you. I can see it just fine. I wonder if it's b/c it's an "active" link???

Well, from looking at the pics, it looks like he was afraid of dropping into an undercut with that front driver tire on the wall, so he turned a little too far uphill and the tires stuck well enough that it climbed too high and then he ended up resting on the wall.

You can see here:



that he's fine.

Here:



he's avoiding the undercut but has turned too far up into the wall face.

And this:



was the end result.....

Simple enough mistake.

Dude... who cares about the driving?

Am I looking at a sbc swap with an exhaust front wrap-around, to avoid a driver's side front driveshaft... AND 4 front links... AND crossover steering???

... and creepy crawlers.

... or are the uppers actually a single A-arm link?
