Smurfield review

I was out running the Rubicon last week and trying out my new front ARB and my smurfields. Ran the entire trail including a successful run through the Little Sluice, the Old Sluice and playing on a few other spots. Everything held up nicely and the Smurfields and my inners survived.

One of the two trucks ahead of me on the little sluice busted both birfs, both inners and a hub at the same time.  and the truck right behind him busted a hub and a birf. I took the exact same lines and I wasn't being gentle.

This is on my HEAVY FJ40 that was loaded with gear. I'm pleased with the experience I'm having with the Smurfields.

to me they passed the test so I'm goin to buy them for next summer sure.

I know the guy that smurfs themon Vancouver Island so me and my buddies all run them.  

We just did a trip to the Rubicon from B.C. and the three trucks were running smurfields.  


Here is the first bit of my trip report
http://www.blackflag4x4.com/rubicon.htm

The green one runs 351W, T18, dual toy t-cases (MC07), 37 mtrs,welded f + r with Smurfields, he gave the Little Sluice a go

I (the white one) have spool front and rear, dual t's, 37" MTR's and smurfs as well.

Third truck is open with 37's and smurfs,
we managed to get through the Con with our Smurfs intact

I'm not the one who said it, go ask Box Rocket.

if you keep driving that stuff happens, best to fix when the first part broke ;)
