    IMO

    It was the weak factory set up that my aftermarket brace covered up. Once the factory bracket cracked the brace bent and fatigued.

    Big thanks to Brad, Rob, Sue, and John. The trip was super fun and I finally made it through LS with a ton of great spotting from Rob. All in all one of the best trips of the summer even with the minor breakage we had. Letti took some pictures so as soon as i get them from her i will post and send them to you guys. Brad can i swing by on sunday afternoon to get the chain and video of me in LS from you?



    thanks again guys....It was a blast!!!!! 😁 😁 😁

    Nice video Rob. Little slice looks challenging. Did you take your white Jeep through that?



    The angle of the camera right before the 1:00 mark is ridiculous!

    I took ot through there several times and never put a scratch on it. I did break a pitman arm the first time I tried, but it was ready to break anyway.

    Everything I say is fully substantiated by my own opinion.



    πŸ˜€ in the video you can hear me tell my passenger "hang on, this is where we might roll" 😏 I wasn't to worried because I have had the buggy at worse angles than that, but some times my lead foot ends me up on the side of my rig!!

    Scott, I need to request to keep the chain a little longer because I cannot move the jeep if I take the chain off and I'm trying to set up a tow for my repairs.

    So what does your present panhard bar mount look like, does it incorporate the steering box sector shaft into double shear? Where are you taking it for repairs? Lot's of questions huh. Mark

    Front track bar mounts to the frame, independent of steering. Lower mount is on e axle, well it was on the axle.

    Brad, let me know if you need a tow or anything. I've got a trailer at 83" wide.

    Um...what?

    Brad no worries on the chain. Just let me know when you’re done with it. Also can you send or post to U-tube those two videos of Rob and me in LS. I really want to see how sideways I was in comparison to robs rig.
