Here is a solid bad line. Rolled 3 times drank alot of lake water and found out I can still hold my breath a really long time

Wooooof. Did your front pass tire hit the water at speed and rip the wheel to the right?

It did. I just got roosted at a creek crossing and was kinda driving blind. Thought I was further away from the water than I was. The second the tire dipped in, the back came up and over.

Was working in the garage the other day and didn’t hear my son’s power wheel anymore. Walked out to check on him and he was behind the house trying to figure out what happened. He kept saying (race car broken shoot). We walked back to hot pit (aka garage) and got a nut and bolt and fixed the steering. Back to smiles and listening to the music.
And then my ranger in cal city circa 2006-2008 before I owned it.

Ironically it fixed my sciatica and I only had a scratch or 2. But definitely lucky there were people around to help get us out.

BAP didn't go as planned. Either chose a bad line or I ran out of talent. Either way we had a good time. We were all OK, flipped her over and finished the race.

All the doors need to be replaced. I think we can save the one piece but havend decided yet what we are going to do because both mini fenders are gone. Might change cabs! I am pretty sure the cage is fine but want to go up to 2 inch so we can race the mint 400.

Bad times. C clip and Toyota LBJ Failure. Not uncommon but shitty when it happens.

As the Toyota facebook guys say, you gotta replace the LBJ with OEM joints only or this will happen immediately when driving down your street.

JV trip after hitting the whoops going through Boone pulled off after hitting a wall jump that bent the radius arms where the bumps hit on both sides continued down the road to the lake bed stopping trying to figure out what was wrong and around the corner of the qualifying hill wheel fell off luckily we were going slow and last MORE. Race in Barstow cruising around hood pin on driver side broke it was bolted to rad support and just ripped the bolts out but after taking the hood pin off it also decided it wanted a new mounting point so it did the easy part and ripped itself off the firewall stuck the hood in the back where it go beat up the rest of the day and I think I need a fiberglass hood now

This is a throwback bad line. During the DR days we went out with the DMC on a Palmdale to Barstow night run. Just before outlet center there is a wash we were trying to cross. It’s on the north side of the 15 and crosses under the 58. Sean ended up almost falling off a decent sized cliff. It was pretty gnarly from what I remember. Dirt Mile Dave ended up pulling him back up. I remember Jesse getting stuck in his explorer. Finally made it to Barstow Del, then camped near lower main. Good times! I wish I had more pics, but all my shIt got hacked so I lost just about everything.

Think that was 12/13 years ago, shit we're old

Welp I attempted to drive my ranger to my in laws house for Easter and while going down the cajon pass I hear a load noise followed by an even loader grinding noise. Pull off the headsets and yup doesn’t sound good. Instantly smell gearoil so I pull over and check for leaks. Nothing. instead of calling a tow truck I drove the truck 20ish miles back home and when I got in the driveway there was still no leak but the smoke coming out of the vent was awesome. Swapped cars and hurried down to Easter since I was now 3 hours late. Had some free time today to get it apart and see if it’s something I can fix before speed metal next weekend and this is what I found.lovely, I bought the 3rd member from speedway motors in June of last year. I did some calculation and have only put 150-160 miles on them, mostly driving back and forth to work on Friday and a few dirt roads nothing crazy. Sucks but what can you do other then laugh it off and get it fixed.
