    How did you bend it back? Was it easy, or did you use a come a long or winch?

    Glad you got it fixed. Next time call me to come over and help. I owe you about 1,000 hours of labor.

    I used to wheel a lot. . .

    I welded a a round tube at the bottom of the tube fender so I could get my winch hook a place to attach for a straight pull toward the front of the Jeep. Then I took my winch and ran the line around my front bumper to that side and along the side of the jeep and hooked into the pipe. This gave the perfect pull angle straight forward with out it trying to pull the tube fender away from the body. I was able to pull it back to the original location. Then I cut off the tube I welded on and welded the tube fender back in place. Then I used a torch To heat up the fender plate and hammered and bent it back into place. Ground it down and wet sanded it, then shot it with paint. Looks almost as good as new!!! Took me a couple hours though!!

    So can you tell us how they took care of you?

    I sent this e-mail to ProComp today. Lets see what they send back as a reply or if they will even reply? 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁



    I am looking at your Extreme Cast Alloy Series 7089 wheels and was wondering what you mean by life time structural warranty? Does this structural warranty cover rock damage should a rock hit the rim and break it? Were these rims intended for rock crawling where they might or most likely come into contact with rocks that could damage the wheel. Are the Extreme cast alloy wheels a good choice for a rim that will be used mostly in the rocks? What would you classify this wheels "Intended use" to be?



    Thanks

    Was the casting a defect? I'm just wondering if they took the time to look at it. IIs it possible it was a defective rim?



    If the rim was not defective, it might not be a strong design and you should expect more failures. Guess the future will tell.
