Gemini Bridges Day 5

After 2 years of taking mental notes, Leslie finally tries it behind the wheel...

She seems to have that momentum thing all figured out...

What does a broken and bent Idler Arm look like ? Watch the passenger side wheel...

Whacked Steering

The "whacked steering" seemed almost planned with the camera angle etc. I now have little to no confidence in the Nissan steering......any planned front end re-works from the aftermarket? Seems like in one swoop the Xterra could go solid axle with real steering (hmmm, Rockwell 2.5??? )

I shot a lot of video of the steering after it broke.

There is some stuff in the works. When we see it, nobody knows...

Ian looks like Lisa did Great. At least from the video I didn't hear her smacking the frame/spring hangers. The momentum look good not too fast and not too slow to have to worry about killing it (like me ).

The steering issue looks like you could see it weakening on the Launch Pad. The tire looked pretty wobbely. I know you took the stabalizer off so the movement may have just been from the steering wheel. The moog may have been weak before the crack who knows.

Also how the heck did you drive back to Denver? I guess carrying all the spare parts really paid off.

How did the Frontier and Project X do with their steering?

Yes, Leslie drove great in those video's. What a first time drive.

Damit thanks for the heads up.
