Trip Report: Razorback Ramble at Superlift ORV in Hot Springs, AR.
2nd time in a row to make this event. Love it. Met up with a few local guys and wheeled all day friday and saturday before the axle shaft took me out in the afternoon. The park was awesome again and if it wasnt for it being 7.5hrs from my house, I would go more than once a year. Hoping to make it back to the Southern Cruiser Crawl in Oct(?) later this year.
So I rolled the truck on Ingrid's Revenge. I landed pretty hard on my passenger side bending the spindle and later breaking the shaft. The worst part is is that i actually made it up the climb, just had to reposition myself for the 2nd obstacle and ended up sliding back to the bottom. The roll was on my 2nd attempt. Its a tough climb when wet.
Some more pics.
Some pics of the stanced look once i got it back home.
Flexed out. I broke the axle shaft shortly after on this spot.
Carnage list was pretty good on this trip:
Bent 14B spindle
Broken pass. Side axle shaft
both c-pillars are going to get cut out and replaced
fender and bedside are toast. I think i can save the doors.
Cab seems to be shifted over a little or maybe its just bent from the roll.
Sucks that it happened but im glad neither my dad or I were hurt and the truck still worked just fine after the roll. I am a first gen body part hoarder, so it will ge getting new panels put on soon. Its part of the game. Cant wait for the next trip, whenever that may be.
I plan on fully enclosing where the center console is with some removable panels and applying some knock-off Dynamat to the backside to hopefully keep the interior temps down some. Its like a ****ing hot box in the cab. I probably remove the rear glass as well to try and let some of it out.
