Rausch!

Unread post by Baseshakers »

Good first day. Only a broken axle shaft, popped out tcase linkage, dead water pump, broken shock, and a jammed up universal joint (don't ask). Lots and lots of rain, but we survived!

Nope! Today was a bit worse...

This breaking...

Transferred the torque to this...

Which lead to this...

Curtis also broke his u bolt plates which lead to everyone watching...
Image

It took a while...

Curtis : The spring plates you broke weren't the ones you called Pontoons or something like that ? The new ones ? Ryman : That _LOWS ! See you guys brought a lift . Good thinking. Way into the night ? Hope things dry out for you guys. FjR68

Nope Frank, he put pontoons on the front. The rears are stock which got folded quite well on the leading edge. His spring perches curled a bit which required some creative welding of scrap metal (along with trying to salvage the u-bolts and replacement of a center pin)
You can't bolt on experience!!!!!!

Hey Curtis, Kurt its Miguel, was there next to you guys in the 2 place enclosed trailer, it was surprising to see you guys there Saturday morning.
Kurt thanks for the coffee this morning helped get me going. It was nice to see some familiar faces out there. Looks like you guys had some good times, other then the rain that is!
