Re: The Welfare Duty
Once we got home I realized that we had broken the weld on high steer arms off again. I said enough of that and went with TMR machined arms. Also decided to full hydro steering upgrade

Re: The Welfare Duty
Then I decided it would be great to go back to Insanity Fab Winter Challenge! Well in good fashion I went out not to long before we had to leave and I broke some Yukon chromoly axles. The panic was on trying to get replacement ones before the race. We did and we made it to the race where I made it a half a lap and blew the knuckle off the truck

Re: The Welfare Duty
To fix my knuckle from falling off again the truck got ball joint eliminators and it was good to go

Re: The Welfare Duty
May long weekend of 2020 decided to go to Houston and wheel for the weekend. Pretty minor weekend plans had a great time with good friends until my Dana 60 blew the ring and pinion.

Re: The Welfare Duty
I lent the truck to Jordon to race in Quesnel where my girlfriend Jaden co-piloted. Was very strange watching someone else drive your truck. They did ok but the truck burnt up a p/s pump and was stalling do to the transmission failing.

Re: The Welfare Duty
We did an annual trip up Baldy Mountain where the transmission had enough. Not shifting, stalling, and throwing all kinds of codes It was time for a new transmission. With the new transmission in I finally put the gauges in that I've had forever. Also decided to try an Energizer AGM battery.

Re: The Welfare Duty
That's pretty much up to date. The truck has been wheeled/raced hard for 5 years. I'd say it's done pretty good. It started as a budget build hence the name The Welfare Duty but now with mass amount of money thrown at it over the years it's a pretty serious trail truck. Everyone over the years that has helped me fix or build the truck to what it is I thank you all

Re: The Welfare Duty
Really I think everyone has to admit that for being such a simple build concept this thing just flat out works.
There's millions of flogged Superduties out there just itching to be low buck builds.

Re: The Welfare Duty
I’m surprised there isn’t more superduty on the trails. Tires thing is pretty awesome.

Re: The Welfare Duty
The Welfare Duty is a celebrity in the PNW. I was towing it to Houston for a windshield replacement and stopped for fuel, some girls approached me thinking I was the driver, asked me to sign their tities... true story, well mostly.

Re: The Welfare Duty
A lot of the axles were Dana 50 then stock Dana 60 ones. Once I went chromoly the breaking slowed downpointsnorth wrote:awesome write up. I had forgot how much front end parts you broke lol
