Carnage from wheeling today

[ktmoutfront]

Went to the Christmas for Kids fund raiser at RAM off road park. We raise money to get foster kids gifts.

Was running the XRRA course. This was the last run before we leave. Buddy wanted a ride. No big deal. Was going smooth. Plenty of air time, then one lousy landing on the right front, just a little off level. Front wheel must have found a rock.

Drove it back to the staging area. back window wold not roll down. (electric system will now come out.) Went home and got the trailer. Owner of the park loaded it for me. I need one of those.

Nice Carnage!

Everybody needs a forklift like that. (OK, maybe not everybody, but I'd love to have one.)

Everybody here does! I've only got a little place in town and I've been tempted to get a Bobcat now and again; I ever get my dream coupla acres in the middle of nowhere, I'm gonna need something bigger ... and a deuce and a half ...

Truck and even the tire are good. This track is next to his wrecking yard. Very convenient. He bings his rock buggy out on the loader. Then leaves the loader there just in case. Mine was the only truck that need it today.

Ouch...

Yeah that's one Bdass forklift.
And let it be know it gets used a lot and mainly not due to people just breaking down. When people run out at RAM they run hard

Nice..

On a side note, if you go manual on the back, could you do a tech write up with pics, etc? I know many could benefit from it. IF you dont mind and have the time.

He doesn't know how to use a camera, and if he did do a tech write up he would prob build a hydraulic pump and cylinder all ran off the PTO just to operate the rear window because he tends to get a little overkill at times.







Ok, Ok, maybe you would use the power steering pump because the 208 doesn't have a PTO,

If you seen the rest of his truck you would understand the above comment ;-)

What's going to suck the most is, window does not roll down, tool rack is welded to the cage above the spare tire that sits on the floor. Do not know how I am going to get the gate open.

Hotwire the plug thats right under the tailgate?

 

[ktmoutfront]

It's getting power. Truck draws rpm down when switched to go down. But won't budge. Something is stuck. May have happened in Moab when I lawn darted the truck on a night run.

 

[63chevyll]

Hmm, Im not sure what to suggest either.

 

[cybrfire]

Hammer, sawzall....

 

[63chevyll]

Ha, I knew that was going to get brought up.

I would really hate to destroy that nice window you sent my way.

I do believe I will have to remove all 4 seats, tool bags, cut out the tool rack then get the spare out.

That will give me the access I need to the gate panel.

Have to fix the motor mounts in my daughters car first.

 

[63chevyll]

Maybe run 24v to just the motor. Just an idea. There is an internal circuit breaker and not sure what amp they open. But before the hammer comes out

Or just jump it anyway with 12 volts, direct batt power could work

I always hated replacing the motors, but seemed everyone I had needed one.

 

[ktmoutfront]

I of course will try running power to it first. But I am not hold out much hope.

 

[63chevyll]

Of course pulling may help. Just let me know if you need a hand
