Paragon March 25
Me and some of my friends went up to Paragon in Hazleton, Pennsyvania this weekend. It was just a shakedown run for my truck. We ran mostly high blues and blacks. We ran a new unrated trail, that will probably be a red, at the end of the day. I didn't take that many pics since I was driving most of the time, so here are a few that I managed to get. Not many action shots since we were moving pretty fast around the park.
First truck in the group was Brad's Ranger truggy on 36 Iroks. I followed him around the whole day. http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06001.jpg Right behind me was Terry's 85 with 5.29's and a spooled rear. http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06002.jpg Terry's truck at the top of one of the trails we climbed. http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06004.jpg I managed to get a lot of shots of the 85 since he was right behind me. Behind him was Eric's 94 Toy truggy. http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06006.jpg Another shot of the 94 on 37 Pitbulls and 4.7 in the case with Randy's jeep behind him. http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06007.jpg http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06008.jpg Avatar http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06009.jpg Flex http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06010.jpg http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06013.jpg http://www.imagebucket.net/images/pa...26mar06014.jpg |

Re: Paragon March 25

Re: Paragon March 25

PAP's in Hazleton, PA. It's about 7-8 hours from VB. Definitely worth the drive though. |
Re: Paragon March 25
turns out that my buddy in the 94 broke both of his 30 splines and the gear set. if you know what 30 splines are, you know that shit's insane. you can probably count on one hand the number of times someone's broken a 30 spline.

Re: Paragon March 25
sweet thanks. were goin to uwharrie next month. probly plan our next trip for here. looks pretty sweet

Re: Paragon March 25
are you going to be running a full-size?
|
Re: Paragon March 25
Ive broken my gears sets and lockers too. That shit sux. Was he runnin the longfields 30spline with the chromoly shafts? If he broke that thats insane. Them are soppose to be as strong as D60 axles. Was he backing up and turning when he broke them? Cause thats when the birfields are at there weekest. My dad just got his 30spline and chromo shafts from long for his cruiser.

He taking care of my junk no probs. I'm getting another gear set, my hubs cyroed and new birfs 8) . Just gota pay for gears and 10 bucks for cyro treating my hubs. He did say I will be getting NEW 30splines. As in thicker in the spot mine broke because they have had 4 failures so far besides mine, all on KMCdaniels rig(test rig). All others that had problems was balls broke or material problems in the beginning. I talked to Boby for at least a half hour about what I do with my rig and what kinda conditions. Shipping my old longs back tomorrow for him to go over and see if I broke a good set or a set that had a defect. |
Re: Paragon March 25
Thats fawkin crazy. Ive only broke 2 birfields. One was a longfield, one of his original ones, and then the spare that i replaced it with all in the same day. But untill i start breaking more of the standerd 27spline longfields i dont see the need for the 30spline yet. I even have a higher crawling ratio then he does and havnt broke one in a while. There had to of been a defect in the ones he got. Thats nutz though

Re: Paragon March 25
I just picked up the YJ spring kit for my Sammi, when you guys plan on going again. If i have it "back" together, i'd like to tag along.
I doubt she'd do much in her current state.... http://is.rely.net/1-4112-48640-l-pt...HZJkCO99Gg.jpg |
