Thanks, I should have bought a used sandcar for what I have in it.It was the ball joint on the top a-arm & the stearing rack. We always break something in Glamis but its always fun as long as none of us get hurt.

I took the wheel & the shock off & straped the arms up. My friend with the red rihno draged me back. We were about 3 miles from camp , but it took us about a hour.I started working on it today.

Oh man that sux on the dunes.

I've built a little "retriever" frame that plugs into the Rzrs receiver hitch.
The truck jack (or winch) and a piece of 8x6 wood lift it onto the hitch.

You can use the ball as a tow hook and just jack the stranded SxS onto it.

Believe me, it works great.

Gorilla axles are supposed to be the BFD now to prevent this:

If you're flying you need quality landing gear.

Most, just about all the sand car owners we know kids got car sick in them, but not in their Rhinos.

That's why you may see EXTENDED hitches on SxS's, it's for towing each other out.

Thats a great idea (the hitch thing). I have gorilla axles , it was just a hard landing.

Actually Summers Bros. are the even newer hot ticket on axles.

That sucks! How high were you in the air when you landed? Did it rattle your brain and butt hole?

The phone is a iphone. It was not a axle that broke! It was the balljoint & rack,this weekend I am installing a Gearone rack, so next weekend when I am in Dumont I will find the next week link(hope not).

No shit? I got an i-phone.. Did you download any apps to get them that clear or is that just "factory" i-phone?

Dave, you might want to check your settings on your phone. A lot of phones come "factory" with the image quality at a medium level so you dont run out of room on your phone really fast. I dont know if that is in fact the case on the iphone since I dont have one but all the other phones that I have had that had a camera on them, that was the case. Btw, I have a 2 megapixel camera on my phone too (same megapixel as the iphone) and I noticed that after I turned up the image quality and cleaned the lens, I didnt even need to use another digital camera for my point and shoot stuff cause my phone was plenty good enough for what I use the pics for.
