    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    It really shouldn't have gone when it did. I thought it was a half shaft when it went but appears to be the diff. I took a bad line getting ready to climb up on an obstacle. Should have realigned to come more straight on, was an an angle with the driver tire climbing first while turned driver...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    As cash9300 stated they are IFS and are torsion bar suspension like your S10 Blazer. I know a few people who have done solid axle swaps on them and I have considered it. I would prefer to build up the IFS though. I love being on the trail and told I can't do something with my IFS rig then watch...

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Yeah, unfortunately it's not going to be cheap. Looking at doing similar to what a friend of mine did with her's. Did a custom drop basket and changed the diff to a Dana 44 center section. Currently even though I have the cast iron stronger diff for the H3s it's a small 7.5 so even with 4.10...

    It's the cast iron and I am very disappointed in it blowing twice. Never blew the aluminum one in my '06.

    What Did You Do With Your Rig Today?

    Yeah it definitely sucks. Luckily was able to drive home in 4 hi locked but it's been parked since Saturday. Considering options on how to beef it up. Second front diff I have blown, luckily the first was covered under warranty.

    Sounds like a nice place to spend weekend. We started out at Dirty Turtle near Bedford, then hit the trails around Slade and finished up at Black Mountain in Harlan. Was a great trip and actually got a little bit of snow the last couple of days. Not much but for a group from FL it was a lot more...

    Orlando

    It's in Marion county near Ocala. Each year they put on an event there with several off road courses. It's normally two days but this year it's only one. $25 registration fee. Below are links to a couple of videos from last year's event.

    Orlando

    Anybody else in the area going to the Southern Off- Road Adventure Rally at the Market of Marion next Saturday? Have missed it the last several years due to other conflicts but should be a good time.

    Looking for a few good men

    Being on the north side of Orlando your event would be maybe 2 hour drive for me so I would be interested in helping if possible. You could use my vehicle as well if you still needed another. Not a big public speaker but would do what I can to help.

    What did I do, washed to mud off from my 2,250 mile wheeling trip two weeks ago.

    Most regrettable mod to your rig?

    No regrets with the Alpha either. I resisted for a long time doing any mods that were permanent even though I knew from the day I took delivery that I wasn't going to git rid of this rig. What I have done on my interior mods that require cutting or drilling is buy a replacement panel out of a...

    Just ordered my Gobi Ladder

    To be honest I use my ladder more for mounting other items like my Power Tank than to climb up on. But they also look real good.
