Ara was giving it hell and tore off his rear EVO long arm brackets of which, we found that DCD, the shop who welded them on used RTV in places that they had a hard time reaching. Frickin ridiculous!!

If you can believe it, they actually tried to create what looked like beads too. It was scary to see.

A lot of carnage yesterday especially when it comes to tail lights. I think there may have been as many as 7 that were taken out. Of course, we hit the side of our bed and Synergy took out their hard top.

There are 10k winches and then there are REAL 10,000 lb rated winches. I have to say that I am super unimpressed with the WARN VR 10s. While the one Mel has never gave out, it struggles to all hell to get anything done. Mel has even resorted to letting line out almost to the drum to give it the most pulling power and is still having to resort to using a snatch block to get it to do anything. All the other ZEON winches including 9.5s have been working great.

Other than that, I’m happy to say all is well and everyone is having a great time. The obstacles are tough here for sure and if only because everything is so slick and requires a lot of skinny pedal and then there are tight trees everywhere just to kick things up a notch.

Aren’t they the ones that were talking shot about evo on that engine swap thread for notching the coilover tower for the steering box? Pot meet kettle.

Sounds like their work is the equivalent of sledge hammered dog shit.

That’s good to know. I wonder if the EVO series is just a stylistic change or if it’s the same weak internals just rebranded?

I’d say it’s probably the same winch in a different case.
