Here is another video and the guy making coments in the video fails to mention that he had to winch up the hill and bent his tie rod into a U shape.

There was some damage saturday. First my budys cherokee.

1. Bent tie rod in the middle of a steep hill climb to where one tire was straight and the other was at full turn (no pic sory)

2. Cherokee tore the right lower 4link bracket compleetly off the axle tube. Took the fab shop about 1.5 hours to fab a new one and weld it on $80.00.

Next the tracker that I have my front tire on in the group pic was being drove by a friends sister and her friend (2 young ladies in one of the group shots) lost lower radiator hose. Not shure if it was loose or knocked off. And right after that got fixed the steering gear box litterly broke in half. There is a video of it being lifted and removed by a loader in the other thread.

My damage started with riping the left side of the rear bumper off. Guess its time to build a real bumper.



Then at the end of the day i droped into a rut that was worse than i thought and slamed my front shackle back so hard that it reversed on the frame and bent the back of the spring at a 90% angle. We were able to use a high lift and a bodle jack to straighten it out enuf to finish the day and flat tow it home. other than that the rock sliders worked great and just minor scratches.



Just a shot before washing it. Not to muddy compared to usual.
