New meats taco -2020 6spd MT

[meats]

What’s up guys. Wanted to drop in and say what’s up! I’m here for everything crawling and 3rd Gen. just for back from Moab — I had a blast camping 5 nights. Only bent one knuckle. Broke a tie rod also. Oh and torn boot with intact cv. All is good. Already ordered some solid 3/16th spindle gussets from Fabzone Armor. Also have he shackle hangers, thick DRT cab mount relocate, bamf rear shock relocate. And 7100s (14” SBs) to slap on... can someone say addicted ?

shout out to @WarFabArmor and @Victory4x4 for solid bumpers that kept me grinding without any body damage at Moab. Here are some pics.

completed trails and obstacles:

Hell’s Revenge
Car Wash
Mickey’s Hot Tub
Hell’s Gate
Moab Rim
Devil’s Crack
Z Turn
Find and Thing
Baby Lions Back

Nice! How tight was Mickey's in the taco? We had the blue 3rd gen out with us a couple of months ago, but I wasn't sure how tight it was in a taco (or our Gladiator,) so we didn't drop in. Been through it a bunch in other Jeeps though, super fun.

Super tight--- lol

The front scraped a bit on the shackle spots but not bad-- its steel and just scratched the rock really. The rear and skids underneath took most of the beating but the @WarFabArmor HC rear Phantom is about as HC as I could find on the market. That really saved me getting out. At one point i was basically standing on the back of my bumper. Gladiator wouldn't fit unless u chopped the bed. They are super long. And a long bed Taco def wont fit.

Looks like a blast! Did you sacrifice your rear sensor for that bumper? Or were you without prior?

Yeah-- I still have a camera so the sensors are only good for BSM which now doesn't work-- i don't mind turning my head. I also love the HC look. Function wins every time!

I could relocate the BSM sensors to the taillights.. Prob wont tho. I don't need all that fancy shit. It came with the truck. Just like the steps and mud flaps and badges. took all that off.

To the tail lights aye? I'll have to read up on that. My only reason for not being interested in sacrificing them is due to the sticker price increase from having them on the truck

I hear ya. Mine came with it so I could care less. My goal is more clearance. Always.

Damn son wife and I spent 8 days camping there and I have no road armor so I wasn't as extreme as you but I was able to pick good lines with out smashing my truck. But I was rotating my tires the other day and inspecting the undercarriage and I was spinning my passenger side cv and I noticed the shaft looked a little bent. Now I don't have any crazy vibrations coming from passenger side . Is it possible to bend cv shaft . Are the cv's that strong that I twisted the shaft a little bit. My friend wants me to take a straight edge and check it with that to see how bad it is. I dunno

 

[meats]

Can you tell its bent without pulling the boot back? Does it vibrate in 2wd if so could be inner tie rod?

 

[shotgunbilly420]

I don't feel any vibrations at all which it's strang

Even in 4wd?
