HOLY CRAP IS RIGHT!!!!!!!


Well, at least it wasn't the welds that broke. It seems that the pipes used are like a 0.2" wall or so, and it really needs to be much much thicker than that! I am not even sure if that was DOM or HREW or water pipe or whatever, I need to call up Dave and tell him about it.

If I had carried my U-Bolts from my flip kit, I could have just installed the U-Bolts and it would have been a simple trail repair, but unfortunately I didn't bring them, Marlin only had square U-Bolts, and Louie only had Chevy U-Bolts, that fit, but we didn't have the right nuts :smack:

So we were left with no choice but to weld the crap outta the pivot block, thus no longer a pivot block :yupyup: and then we were golden.

Thanks Marlin!!!! You are my hero! :bowdown:
