Help Support Hardline Crawlers :
Busywild Saturday Feb 7
- Thread starter hoss250
- Start date
A Few Things I learned...
#1: The Busywild does not like Yota knuckles.
#2: The Busywild does not like wire winch line.
#3: The Busywild does not like Yota transmissions.
#4: Hoss250 does not like being towed down a snow covered logging road at 35mph.
It was indeed a fun day of winching, wrenching, arguing, and carnage. Damage total was 1 warn winch, 1 rim, 3 winch cables, 1 CJ-5 Frame, 1 yota trans, 1 yota knuckle, and several un-seated beads. Otherwise, had a great time riding with TJSinbrad and rebuilding a toyota in the middle of the night:beer:

Don't forget Fubar's TMax winch
It was being towed in the middle of train pulling a 4-runner at 35 in the snow and ice that Hoss250 (myself did not like)

BFE's knuckle had the Arp studs for those wondering, and yes I do keep a spare left and right side knuckle, complete with bottom caps, bearings, studs, and cone washers with me. I think I will do Bobby Long's 5th stud plus my Arps after dealing with this. Fubar full pulled the 4Runner from the mud holes at the bottom across the bridge and started up the other side until this happened. Then the Jeep frame got tired. After we winched, jerked, and prayed the 4runner up the root ball and changed the tire and knuckle, TJsin Brad and I drug him the last of the trail and back to the trailer. Made for a fun? and long! day/night.

Yup, everyone and their rigs got home (me around 11:00). Every so often everyone has one of "those" days and yesterday was our **** show. The runner was towed out and the CJ came out under it's own power though somewhat rearranged from it's prior configuration.
I had fun pulling the runner out until the wheelie incident, but even that was fun :fawkdancesmiley: Full pull style indeed
And my winch is fine, just the wire is fawked.
Wow!!! What a trip you guys had! :redneck: Was getting a bit worried fellas. Was ready to through ol blue on the trailer...
SO- "Where are you going?"
ME- "Elbe"
SO- "What time are you going to be home?"
Me- "Uhhhhhh... Somewhere between 4pm and 2 am"
Looks like it would have been the latter on this one. :cheer:

No wonder i hated that trail when on 32's. When i did it last april, debeaded tire, bad winch relays.

No pics of the frame. As far as I could tell in the dark and covered with mud it bent just in front of the tub in the usual CJ spot on both sides even though it was plated and boxed, apparently I should have strapped it too. I can tell by sitting in it that it's not right. My seat/steering wheel position is different, clutch engages in a different pedal position, the gaps mentioned before, and it pulls right hard. The good news is it seemed to steer easier and my PS pump is nice and quiet :redneck:

that trail scares me, but i really want to run it. could a toyota locked f/r on 35s do it?
