You were moving. Never seen the drivers side bend. Good job. Definitely time for an upgrade. Probably a cage soon too. Haha.

The tire as also hitting the fender pretty bad, wonder if that has anything to do with the bend.

Truck was scooting, looking great. The video doesn't do those bumps justice.

Cage was next on the list, but the truck has spoken and it wants single swing steering first.

The front tires will rub a bit up front on full compression, but I doubt it had anything to do with the tie rods bending. I was just showing the Raptor guys whats up. The old girl was faster than any of them through that section, even the guys running dual shock +3" arms and bed cages which surprised me. They did drive home though

.
This truck continues to impress me with how composed it is. Just need to beef up a few things.

Replaced the bent tie rods with another set of stock rods until I do single swing steering.

I knew they were bent, but dang.

The second part of your vid they looked hammered and you were still on it... did you have a little positive toe to begin with?

A little bit, but not much. I didn't notice till i tried to turn.

At least they held together! Congrats on bending the drivers side, that's a first for me...

Well it should be a none issue soon. My only concern is what's the next weak link.

I'd say a cage is the next on the list the way your drivinng

Turf Tamer · Post by **Turf Tamer** » Wed Jul 01, 2015 8:51 pm

Cage will happen. I'll just have to take it easy until then.

I'll be fine as long as I limit myself to short trips near my place. Big groups is where I get myself into trouble.
