Re: Damage Report

We were on the Mojave Trail going maybe 35-45mph but the visibility was bad and I was following too closely. Dominic was running point and Mattmainster was behind him then me. Mattmainster hit the same rock as I did, slashing his tire and bending his steelie a bit. I ran Cleghorn hard today and the rig felt great.

Here is a picture of the new gusset welded to the spindle. Same shot as Mir207's without the dirt.

Re: Damage Report

I love the Voodoo Springs.

The gussets looks great Scott, don't forget to give us a review on the on / off road feel with out the sway bar.

And yes any plan to add a limit strap? I would recommend it so you don't over extend the CV and break it.

Josh, who do I see for the straps, Kartek or should I just fab them myself? Nah!

Dom, the springs are just Icons powder coated blue. I had an extra set coated months ago but never got around to installing them.

I didn't really miss the sway bar to be honest. I'll give you my opinion after Big Bear next weekend.

It was real sway bar feels great

Kartek is what you want of course.

I wrote out a little thing on what to do. I'll look for it really quick so I dont' have to rewrite everything.

Dom do you have that?
