Alright, went out bashing again. Not such a sucessful outing this time. My turnbuckles/tie rods are already getting quite worn, and I had some issues with a faulty break part, so I'm now waiting on breaks. Got some pics of it though when it was dirty just to show off how f'in dusty and dirty bmx bashing gets... especially then you forget to wipe off the wd-40 after cleaning 
First pics before the run (June 27th)
Dirty:
Some damage:
... and finally, mostly clean again and awaiting parts:
** Edit
I thought it was worth mentioning a little tip, maybe some of you do it already. Whenever you're wrenching on your trucks for whatever reason, its always a good idea that you put screws back into the holes they came from. I mean immediately after removing a part, thread the screws back into the hole it came from at least a few turns. This way you won't end up with too few screws when you go to re-assemble, and you won't forget what screws go where.
