[NMTerras]

Ah yes. They operated it to death as i recall. The cutoff wheel at any rate

Drinking and using a sawzall just means lots of extra clearance.

Funny... I was going to say the same thing about your snorkel.

(insert obligatory smiley thingy here)

Exactly. I was on a steep incline with big ledges/rocks and loose dirt, tried to overcompensate for no locker with momentum and overdid it. Rugged rocks makes a solid hd replacement, which is now on there and backed up with a spare.

^^^hmmm. That's the one I got from Eric p that same day, the one I got from you was my spare, and was stolen out of the back of my truck last month. But that helps explain why this one was coming loose

 

[SteeevO]

That one actually looks like one of they early ones, so its possible i did send it with that setup but I'm definitely using locknuts these days

[TheFauxFox]

You got busted, Sean!

 

[NMTerras]

^^^Yeah, Eric happened to have that one on him, I used his and ordered another one from you for him, sent to him, then ordered another one for myself after MOAB, when you sent me one of the first of the newer versions. I guess I need another one now...

... and good call on changing to a locknut, this one has come loose once already. If I order another one for a spare, will you send me an extra locknut?

 

[SteeevO]

Yeah I can send you an extra lock lock nut, no prob.

You need to change your portable sig - it's like you're talking dirty to me...;-)

 

[xterratsp4]

Hey nice X. Have you installed the rear Arb locker yet?

 

[NMTerras]

^^^Thanks! No, it's sitting in my garage waiting for me to have time...

 

[gorillamel]

^PSh, well get on it! Install that thing and then go beat it up!

 

[rokdaddy]

if you never get time to install it.... i can take it off your hands. :fufu

 

[NMTerras]

Slacker.

Ha. Look who's talking...2.5 months to MOAB buddy...

 

[NMTerras]

OK, finally got a few things done (or at least partially done)

1) Got rear leafs re-arched, had another leaf added and took off the overload spring (which I have hung up on on rocks numerous times, but no more)

You can also see third member in the background above, recently re-attached after ARB air locker install:

And installed a blue sea fuse block to accomodate the ARB switch, and moved my roof lights and CB off the battery terminal:

Still need to connect the ARB to my powertank, and wire the switch. Might have to wait until after this weekend, when I drive to Denver to get my new tx-10 T-case with crawler gears. One month to MOAB!

 

[Xterra Performance]

Wow.. You have some work ahead of you.. I guess there is no better place to to some equipment testing than moab right?... Well done sir!

^^^aww man, sorry would have been great to see you. Glad you guys had fun.

 

[stevencox93]

Hey man how are you liking the trail grapplers? pros and cons? and would you buy again or different tire?

 

[NMTerras]

So far so good. Theyve been super grippy on rock great in mid and good in sand. Just ok in snow. I have km2s on my other rig and i like them just a tiny bit better

Thanks man! When I jump up to 33s its either between Toyo MT, Trail Grapplers, or KM2s

sean did you ever decide if your going lt or sas?

 

[NMTerras]

Terra has a summer SAS date with the Colorado boys - cyclemut and grandpa x. Installed the ARB locker in the rear, now taking a break while I prep chef for MOAB and the Colorado boys do the same with their rigs. Sometime this summer I'll drive to Denver and terra will get her new t-case with crawler gears and swapped. I spent a lot of time researching different options and I really like what cyclemut and grandpa x are doing so that's the plan...

 

[UofA_Xterra]

Your rig continues to get even cooler! I can't wait to see it at moab.


Steven: KM2's all the way.

Ha - yeah sorry about that! It was fun to wheel the chef though...now it's time to turn my attention back to terra!

 

[Kuzmovka]

I don't suppose you would want to divulge the plans for the SAS would you?
