Title: 3 wheel buggy ride
Post by: Punkur67 on January 17, 2010, 09:08:17 PM

Here is a video of me driving my car out of sand dam after breaking my spindle on saturday night. I drove for about 3 miles on 3 wheels till I could get to where a trailer could pick me up. Not fun and took severial hours, but something I can laugh at now.

Had to jack up the pre load on the other front wheel and the oposite rear wheel. Then I compressed the oposite rear wheel from the missing wheel as much as possible. This got that corner about 10" off the ground. Not fun but we got it done.

I wondered how you pulled that off.
