Ya I really wanna show you guys the trail I thought was the snakes! Its on the west end of 5 mile, & its way more our style. Cause rattle snake had alot of big stuff to play on, but we just took the easy route through! This trail has alot of steps (up & down) that aren't too big for us but still plenty technical! It would be a funner run IMO...

Lets get some picks of that rack when you get a min.

Got my tailbone the other day & should have it at least painted this thurs.-fri.!!!

That trail you're talking about is most likely Constrictor.

Angry I need some advices....

Hi everybody,
I know I could just post it on the tech forum, but ....

I got a Blazer leaf spring pack to put on my jeep and get rid of the cracked blocks, worn spring leafs and still keep the little lift I want.
So i was very excited and I have all infos on how to do it and i pretty much confident I CAN do it by myself....

I got stuck in the first 20 minutes of the job.... One of the lug nut from the wheel was rounded/seized/rusted/broke (acorn style broke the hollow cap).... Following advices found here and there, I successfully tried hammering a smaller socket, heat and lube, cold chisel, JBwelded a nut on top of it.... ended up destroying most of it but the lug nut is still attached. ...

I have 2 more solutions: drilling into the stud or using a bigger hammer and chisel....

I really can't take it to a shop because it is not registered /insured...yet

So any of you have an idea ? is it really the only way ? i am going in the right diirection and should just keep chiseling it and use time and patience ? (I am running out of fingers by the way)

I am ready to sacrifice the stud anyway .... it is a learning project so why not learn how to replace a wheel stud at the same time)

Thanks for any advice/help/trick/tip
Stephane
