I finished getting my truck together last night and just couldnt wait until this morning to run it so I went out to the shop and proceeded to get it running and re-tuned.

before the rebuild I was running pretty lean so I reset the lsn and hsn to flush and started over since I added a buku.

I had the tuning plug in the pipe and was making passes adjusting my hsn. I had just made my last adjustment and made a pass and it was running sweet so I thought "Just one more then I'll work on the pipe part of the tuning."

I ran the truck out and was bringing it back and ran out into the grass where it evidently hit a small hill and endo'd a few times then did a twist or two before doing several cartwheels when it came to rest this was the carnage.:duh:

Take off the aluminum a-arms and you wont have to worry about breaking the knuckle, they dont assorb any of the impact at all like the stock a-arms do.
looks cool but does more damage than good.

I switched a arms the other day. mostly for that reason but also to cut a ton of weight.

ya the alum a-arms look awsome but just transfer the damage to a weaker part and as you said add weight as well which in turn is harder on the drivetrain.... great carnage by the way, thanks for sharing!!!
