Went out... but had damage!!

[Funrover]

Well I should have waited till my new arms came in.... LOL... I was out doing Eagle Rock with a few others all was going good!!! The new lift and flex is AWSOME, have a few items to dial in!!! But while doing a hill climb my slightly bent trailing arm turned into a VERY BENT trailing arm.... I was able to drive home..... But I felt like ruined the day for two who drove down from denver!

And here is the BEND of the arm...lol... Made for a fun drive home!:rellye

Wasn't a small woodland creature known as a rock was it?

Well Not totally sure to be honest. Part of a few things at once.... I havn't put my new arms on yet so the arm was almost vertical and kicked a rock.. then when I backed down to try another line it bent underneath.... but not %100 sure!

Wow...that's a bend.....No highlift repair???....I mean taking the bent piece off and using the weight of the rig to bend it back????....Sounds easy.....but you made a good move.....that would have been a hard 4 hour trail repair....

I thought you were going to say cut out the bend and use the hilift handle as a replacement bar. Using about 42 hose clamps, 50 feet of baling wire, and a pound of JBWeld to hold them all together.
