(Offroad)Just got back from a 3 day offroading/camping trip today from a place with very rocky trails and steep hills and stuff.
On day 2 i went a little too fast down a rocky trail and a front A-arm on my Polaris Ranger snapped, leaving us broken down deep on a technical trail.
While trying to limp my ranger back to camp with a broken front A-arm, finally, the sole ball-joint holding the hub "kinda sorta" in place popped out, the hub spun 180 degrees and snapped the brake line and bent the tie rod also, so I was fucked and stranded from there.
Spent the rest of the day getting my machine recovered off the trail. Still had a good time though but my machine is fucked now with a list of fucked parts I need to replace.
Sooo Im kind of sad. Luckily my trip wasn't 100% ruined because at least I still had my trusty Honda ATV to ride around on.
Im drinking vodka tonight.
Oh, and my air mattress had a leak so I had to get up a couple times a night to air it back up and go back to sleep. Slept like shit cuz it was warm and humid at night, so im tired. Dont wanna sleep though. Sipping vodka drinks and watching TV with my lady. Itll be ok i guess. Ill fix and build ot back better than before. I was surprised just how thin-walled the metal A-arms are after it broke. When I fix it, it's getting some much better aftermarket A-arms, ball joints and bearings and stuff.
