Your tie rod is mounted too low. It goes in the center and the drag link mounts to the top.

Lol. I knew someone would notice that. I do that for less interference when up traveling. It’s still above the axle housing.

That’s why the cross bar has a spacer in it.

Had an epic 3 hour crawl with a friend. Tried out my new setup with 61/38 weight distribution. The setup was fantastic and my modded Canyon Trails destroyed my friends Hyrax's in every way!

Hello Gents - finally back home after some extended travel for work. Catching up on all the sweet builds and mods going on here. Unfortunately, there’s been nothing but rain here since i’ve gotten back and more on the radar. I think it might be time to order some more goodies and get some quality shop time in!

Took my 5yr old out for her first trail ride. We had a blast! Think I got her hooked now. She wasn't big on the technical areas, but she really enjoyed the tiny truck trail. She keeps asking when we're going again. Here's some pics.

Welcome back Walsh! Yeah it's been nothing rain, wind & mud in our area. It's definitely a good time to get some bench time!

It's great to see your kids involved in this hobby. Looks like she is hooked!

Good looking pics, too!

Glad to be back guys! What was supposed to be 4 weeks on the road turned in to just shy of 6 weeks.

Looks like the weather in our neck of the woods may actually cut us a break today Brian! Problem is, everything is just so damned water logged. I hiked back on my trails to check things out and it's all just super soft peanut butter.

I think I'm going to just do some general maintenance on the Sporto today. Change the shock oil, check grease in the portals, trans, etc.

Loving the mods and continued builgs on all the rigs here guys! You never cease to inspire!

Awesome getting out with your daughter Animal! That's quality Daddy/Daughter time there for sure!

I’ve been impressed by the modded canyon trails too, nice work in the weight redistribution.

Now that’s a wheeling stance right there. Looks like she’s been doing it for years. Great to hear she took to it just like her papa

PD- I saw that too and thought "Look how focused she is!" lol. I think it says a lot about her character in general ( knowing that Justin is a great parent) but regardless, a lot of kids seem to just want to nail the throttle and whatever happens, happens. But this is a kid that looks like she could actually be a viable threat at a comp! Btw Justin, the trucks are looking great... Really jealous of that Nuke!

Turtled? haha.. No no no..!!
I guess he's just taking some maintenance, the axles and links are so much easier to access this way.. ;)
