well i went out with some geaps to show them around elvis on the 14th went great everyone was shocked by the little yota. got off the trail all good. parked the truck wife went to work monday morning and the clutch shreded. so to avoid this from happening again ive decided to upgrade was going to go with the dual crawler before that sat night. now im going to go a different route. i want twin sticks not the FROR style i want front dig styleso i found a dana 300 and ordered a adapter from Advanced Adapters to keep my crawlbox and put a twinstick 300 behind it. ill post picts tomorrow of some of the parts. cant wait to go out and get some again.

I'm truely surprised it lasted more than 1 day after your FireHole assault. You should just buy them in bulk or become a dealer to save yourself some coin. :)

You mean to tell me you're gonna have Miller Jr. in your signature and you didn't show up to my last run in "stock" form on the 14th, but you went to Elvis instead:rolleyes: You missed the Firehole and my multiple attempts at making it until 3rd times a charm, as well as Jaco's attempts ending in forfeiting, then Upper Ajax without any assistance(TBob :D). This is shameful. And front dig in IFS, oh yeah, this is gonna get good! You better hurry up and make your junk bigger cause you're not gonna be able to keep up with the Geap now. In the mean time, make sure the beat your bitch factor is still on a high level.

my wife cant do runs in the heat so i commited to do the night run. ended up leading. and the get some factor is always high even if it is over my head. and with your build its not going to be miller jr anymore. ps the sooner i break the front end the sooner i get to swap it out(was my deal with the wife when i bought it).

If this is the case, front dig away!
