here are some rti pics from that day
and when everything went down hill
one more
holy ****!
Yet another reason to wheel a sensibly sized vehicle.
Does that truck really weigh 7K?
was there any rust where it cracked? It looks like that thing was just lookin for an excuse to explode on ya anyways...
thats where all 60 knuckles break. nothing too odd there. sucks none-the-less.
That is awesome! Andy busted a shaft out there getting in a bind going down hill at the tenth, but nothing like that. You rule Cook!
Very impressive.
saw it going down texas today, all the other drivers were looking at it with a "what the fawk stare".:gigem:
i don't know. the point was that it is heavy. i like wheeling a full size and don't want a jeep like every other asshole out there.Quote:

Yo' **** got ****ed up.... It'll buff out.
I have a 1" spacer under my arms. Was it the ram that pushed it "off"?
is it aluminum?
i wouldnt really attribute it to the spacer though. its just the nature of putting hydraulic steering on high steer arms turning big tires.
i think its 3/8" or 1/2" plateQuote:

I don't know if that would have helped you any or not. I have thought about adding some to mine sooner or later, just looks like I may do it sooner now. ;)Quote:

U gfuvked ur shizxit up
sharoe is coorertedt
That knuckle needs its own shelf at Rudy's
I think more around 5500-6k? Still heavy.Quote:

x2 on the shelf at rudy's :D
wow. That is AWESOME! Wonder how much damage done and time wasted that stupid hill's got on it? It's gotta be in the thousands of hours and ten thousands of dollars now
thats pretty sweet.
Its pretty common for a Ford kingpin knuckle to break there, sucks that it took out the inner C. I say go with spidertrax knuckles.
think the c is alright. the lower part of the c, despite being drug down the hill is ok. the upper part and the king pin got a little beating i guess from the yokes of the shafts. i think the bottom of the kingpin and the underside of the c got smeared a little and that it will clean up with a little grinder action
my plan is get dedenbear knuckles and replace whatever is ****ed on the driver side and put it back together. probably will save for some brand of alloy shafts as well
yeah the C doesn't look too bad, I think most people end up running deadenbear knuckles
what do those run?
too much
check this crazy **** out. it's stuck in the lockout. other pic is just where the knuckle broke
that lockout is bad ass trophy material.

made a few improvements
