Ok, so we went out to Carnegie SVRA today to have a little fun in the little bit of rain that we had. I was mashin through the mud and hit up a coupla hills and a few rocks. I was goin over (I'm not kidding) about a 15" rock, about 3 hours into my fun, and my track bar busted off my frame (again), taking a huge chunk of the frame with it. Ok, so I figured it was gonna happen just not this soon. I tie the bar up with a rope from my friend, and start to drive home at about 6-7 miles per hour. I live about 7 miles away.

I'm driving down the road and I have one friend in front of me and one behind me. I pull over cuz my truck was wobbling like it was fallin apart, and I look at my axle and it had shifted 6 inches to the left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My coils were like \------\ OMG!! So I'm like flop it I have to get home. I finally made it home in about 50 minutes, safe and sound, but my poor truck is sittin in my front yard and I can't drive it now

Oh well, just a good excuse to get to work on it!!

I frikiin knew the first person to reply would say something about gettin a 'Yota. I'm workin on it... But I'll tell you what, half the stuff I did today a Yota wouldn't have been able to do...Well, a half normal yota anyway

My Yota is half normal and I take it through some pretty tough stuff (now look what you started)

Too bad about your truck though fix it fast before you go into 4x4 withdrawls

Four link that ford and don't look back. I know what you mean about loving that ford, I love mine too but yotas are just plain outstanding to mash the trails in. My cousin has a 78' f-150, We beat the crap out of that thing, 240,000 miles and she been in the family since her first day on the lot back in 77'.

whiteman · « **Reply #15 on:** May 09, 2005, 04:16:57 PM »

Whoa!!!

Somthing is not right here. You have a 70' f-250 that has coil springs, you must have swapped them in beacuase coil springs only came in f-150's. What is your explaination for this confusion

For some reason I was thinking the radius arm is what you broke

Must of been a brain fart

. That would explain why i said four link it. Sorry for the mistake. I didnt think the front end was original but i have been known to be wrong ocasionaly, you dont see many old fords any more that are all original.
