Hey Ryan so did you brake one of the older longs or are you just upgrading? if your just up grading I'll buy the old ones from you if you wont to sell them.

[COToy91]

Just upgrading, not sure if i am going to sell the or use them as spares if i break a 30 spline, just throw inner and old long in on the trail

[854RUN]

Man you need to upgrade to 40's so you can put them 30 splines to work. If you do decide to split with them let me know I'll by them from you.

I'm on 40's and don't plan on carrying spare birfields   That's how much confendence I have in the 30 spline longs

You you will be the first to know. Still want to take a look at that one link that you did.

Do you by chance have a 3/8 drive torque ratchet that I can use John?

Agree, and since i dont want to shell out 250 for a spare 30, I'll carry inners and my  old birfs

[854RUN]

Give me a call whenever you wont to take a look at it Rayn. were you asking me about the torque reanch, if so i a 3/8 non ratcheting and a 1/2 ratcheting.

I finally got my first run in on the 40's!!  4 other rigs and myself ran the Liberty trail in Independence.  Here's a couple of pics







I didn't get a chance to trim the front fenders so I just took them off rather than rub the snot out of them.  Truck ran great, no problems with the big tires!!  I also must have trimmed enough in the front and rear, I didn't get the tires to rub once.  That was also good news!

I don't think you've ever need to carry a spare or buy a spare 30 spline.  Most guys that run 30 spline Longfields end up carrying other spares like 3rd members, hubs, steering knuckles, etc....

looks awesome with the 40's  , hows the steering, you think you will put an assist on?. Ya keep telling him he will not need those and if he sells them to me he will have money to buy spare parts he will actually brake right  .

Thanks!!  I've actually already got hydro assist installed, one handed turning all day last Saturday   Makes it nice at the end of the day, you don't feel beatup from muscling the steering around.  I'd highly suggest it!!

The only thing I need to do to it is add a larger reservoir.  My stock pump makes a ton of noise once the PS fluid gets hot.

I am seriously considering it...

I am pick and pull hunting for a full set of knuckles, spinlde's etc... I did upgrade all the studs to ARP and the fact I have 4.88's hopefully will save my ass for ring and pinion carnage

[854RUN]

Heres some 4.88 out of my t100  <me   wife > <me

[COToy91]

holy , you and the skinny pedal are best friends aren't you?

[854RUN]

[Volcom]

I'm trying to get everyone together for the CO4RJ at the first part of August!!!
http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=44693.0  It would be a great time to get all the guys from here together and wheeling!!!

[4runner freak]

I saw that planning thread earlier today.
I'll talk my wife into it(Shouldn't be hard)

[854RUN]

hey Aaron what do you think about running carnage with out a front locker??

[Volcom]

hey Aaron what do you think about running carnage with out a front locker??

I wouldn't suggest it.  I had a buddy in a Rubicon last year try (his front locker was no working for some reason) and he had a hard time getting past the gatekeeper / first set of rocks.  After running the trail, I'm glad he turned around when he did.  It gets tough fast.  If I run it, you could always hop a ride.

[Volcom]

Tires will be saved for both you, ill let you know when they are off

I probably won't need one of your old MTR's after all.  Thanks for holding it for me (even though they are still on your truck   )

No worries at all, i think if i goto the jambo i prolly wont run carnage, more so cause i need to get spare hub/ knuckle parts first. Then again i wanna do it

[854RUN]

do it do it. if i run it you better run it

[Volcom]

Carnage is one of those trails that is hard to get recovery rigs on if you break.  The entrance and exit are both tough.  I wouldn't suggest running it with stock birfields or small, bald tires (ask me how I know  )  Be prepared to take a ton of damage to your rig and possible drivetrain damage.  It took 5 of us last summer 12 hours to complete the .9 mile trail.  We had multiple breaks that took quite a bit of time to fix (hard to find a flat spot to work under the rig). 

I'm not trying to scare you off but it's a very tough trail and could end up being a very very long day on the trail trying to recover a broken truck.

Thats awesome! I hope to make it out that way one day....a good buddy of mine lives like 10 minutes from the entrance
