Me In Tellico

Nope, not natural. That center link is doing all kinds of funny bending under there.

Have you gotten your truck aligned since the trip? You may have bent an inner tie-rod. You can tell when they adjust the alignment because it will turn in an eliptical motion, not a smooth circle.

I'll be getting an alignment on Monday.

I replaced the left half shaft and pitman arm. I also replaced the right tie rod (was not broken or bent, but the inner boot split and was leakin' grease all over the place.

From the video I've seen of me going over the stuff I did, I'm SHOCKED that I didn't bust a whole mess of tie rods. When Fabtech says "heavy duty", they really mean HEAVY DUTY!

Are you running fabtech tierods or the stock junk?

I've got the Fabtech HD Tie Rods (and brought along 2 extra for the trip just in case).

Super pics! Got any "after" pics?

I was actually somewhat surprise Hollie got up to Guardrail without a locker, done good. When we ran up to it back in August we left hers further down the trail. Just the trail up to Guardrail is more than most will do.

I got my alignment done today before driving back to Naples and everything is great now. Feels really nice on the road, making turns, etc.

I had a GREAT time in Tellico...some VERY challenging trails. I was able to push my H2 to its limit and then push it a bit more. I'm glad to finally know what it's capable of.
