Let this be a lesson to anyone who listens when someone yells "hammer down" oh yea, and flat towing.. never do it if you intend on wheelin remotely hard. I had to drive 3 hours to get the trailer, my straps, get ball joints and more tools.

Ball joints suck, thats all there is about it. Also pinched a brake line between the left rear spring perch, broke a u-joint/both shafts friday night, then when the cluster**** below happened i broke the spare shaft.. dunno if the shaft let go then the ball joint or the other way around.

Its time to fix this one, clean it up and sell it. I need a KP 60. The rest of the pics from the trip are uploading, then i'll upload video.

The Chevy towed it great, not bouncy, didn't sway around, had enough power..







And this guys bead, on 16.5s.. we noticed it was flat as he hooked his winch up, and as he was getting the compressor out he was like "well thank god it didn't blow the bead" and about 2 seconds later a little "pffft" and the bead when bye bye






Got new ball joints and lined the trailer up, let it down and drove up slowly.. luckily it went on straight.



and this one's specifically for Zach "i bet its gonna squat like a mother" Moneybags now you can shut up. I had a few hundred pounds of **** in the bed between tools, 2 spare tires, camping stuff, broken crap, cooler..



and there it sits in the driveway.

 

dammit boy

 

I thought you blew your motor?

 

You sure a D60 is strong enough for you? lol

 

well i did some diag on the suspected blown head gasket.. doesn't seem blown. i think it is though and the "bars head gasket repair" is actually doin something. spark plugs fixed most of my issues.

 

what happened to the tailgate

 

**** i hope so.. One of the guys i wheel with has a Vortec 350 with ~300hp and 39.5 Iroks.. pegs the rev limiter all the time and his stock 60 holds up.

 

when the knuckle came off and ripped the brake line off my pedal went to the floor as i rolled back into a tree.

well no, the tail gate was before the knuckle went, i rolled back into a tree on accident.. the tail light and bed side was after the **** hit the fan and i hit the same tree and my front corner light hit the same tree i leaned my door into.


I'm glad this happened, if not there it woulda happened this morning flat towing it home.

 

Damn Matt!

 

I can have the axles pulled by next weekend

I need $$ for my 60 haha

 

How much $$$ for them?

 

haha I'll need to think about.. considering they're no longer in the same condition they used to be.

 

I knew that flat tow was gonna be a bad idea. lol

Give it hell!!

 

that trail didnt even look that bad... what did u do!?! lol

 

I gave it hell. and it gave me hell back hah

"HAMMER DOWN!" ... skinny pedal, lots of it.

 

quit stalling, moar moar

 

that'll buff out.....

 

sig worthy. the best part of Breaking is upgrading

 

yea except the lack of income lol

 

Sell me your axles and you will have MONEY! If you want I will just buy the front!

 

I might do that.. i gotta pull the 9" apart and see whats up with it too.. Jon broke his posi a while ago and i got mine from the same guy.


double.. now triple post fail. oops. here's a bunch of my pics. and a few more of the banjo





first axle












part of greenhorn 2


pinched brake line.. now they're run over the springs.

 

LOL what were you thinking when it just dropped to the ground?

 

well all i heard was a "pop" so i figured eh, axle shaft.. carry on. then i tried again and it made a louder pop.. the truck fell, it started sliding backwards and the brake pedal went to the floor. not really sure "what" i was thinking besides "oh ****"

 

nice goggles

 

You know, that's actually quite a bit of squat for our trucks, seeing as how the back end sits up a lot higher. Looks like it towed fine, though.

Did you still have fun wheeling though? That's all that matters, lol.
