[-Matt-]

Well if you wanna go text me in the next 40s mins. And I don't think there will be much. Snow level was at like 7k ft

Wish I could come up there mayn.

well there was no snow, and it was pouring rain on us. about a half mile perimeter around LOTS T theres still 1ft but thats it. we decided to do the pipe jam trail. trails actually really bad ass. hit some cool creek crossings and got to wheel some short but decent spots. it was already late and a guy in out group ripped a valve stem on this nasty log. took us a while to fix it but went smooth. after that it was getting really late but decided to go a little ferther on the trail to find the gnarly spot we were trying to find, sure enough it was right up the trail, but decided to not wheel it cuz we couldnt afford another issue. but its an awesome spot and is pretty difficult. reminds me of old sluice. definitely a good section that can break a built truck.

either way i have a whole nother out look on high lakes. there are a handful of good wheelable spots.. only downside is they are all a ways apart. if you could put all them on one trail it would be an awesome trail. either way cool area. not gonna happen till summer but i wanna hit that trail again.

  This build makes me feel inadequate and depressed, and that I should just give up on my build and drive it down to the recycler.

[Dingman.]

[-Matt-]

thanks for taking some pics mike. im so bad with that habit. i even brought my cam and told myself i was gonna take some shots, but then i always get caught in the moment and forget. that was an awesome trip. snow was great. i think we made it just in time... looks like we are gonna be getting a ton of snow, which is a good thing but i dont think anyones gonna be able to make it as far as we did any time soon.

[yota_krawler]

it was hella fun

mike didnt take pics of me.. cause i have a lame ass 4runner lol

[-Matt-]

ill post these here also. give you non pirate guys some things to look at. overall the trip was awesome. broke the ears off the stock short side inner. you can hear it pop in the video from sledge. it ended up destroying some other stuff when it blew. trucks gonna be down for a little while. i need to save up and bullet proof the front 60. im not gonna put it back together how it was.

[specialscottie]

sick pics

[zembalayan]

Watched the videos; what a great build and performance at the hammers?!?!  Really cool!

[Squeakinz]

sick videos man... howd u manage to break the ear on that shaft?

[-Matt-]

thanks guys, its just a stock inner shaft so the ears aren't super strong. usually they will break there before the shaft. im getting a full new set chromo inners/outers and full knuckle and spindle bearing/seal rebuild kits, and also doing a weld on high steer arm upgrade that balistic made for the arms i have.

im hoping to fix it right and not have to touch the front axle again. i built this axle a long time ago so i didnt know much about the strengths of what broke

[Dingman.]

A guy i know might want whats left of the stock set.

[jluangs]

Nice build. The exocage looks awesome
