I feel like we are just driving around looking for something to break the buggies.  In one day of "Wreckage Wheeling" I broke a CV, Front stub and rear axle shaft. Boy, did we have fun though.

No.  No.  No.    We are looking for challenges to test our design and fabrication skills.

Yup.  Does that mean that Jeff's fab skills failed miserably?  ;D

im pretty sure im down to either an electrical failure, or tires


probably should get a trans gage, but thats why it got two big boy coolers.

No.  That means he has exceeded the components operating limits.

it was fine when i pulled into trailer last week.  when the problem occured, the dash indicator light was dim and flickering, has to be electrical supply issue.
