aw12345 Geplaatst December 31, 2012 Rapporteren Share Geplaatst December 31, 2012 Today I met up with some friends to do a bit of wheeling, one of my buddies had found this little side trail that looked interesting. He called his trail run on the edge, turned out that break a Jeep day would have fitted the bill much better. 2 broken pitman arms and 2 hear flops and we had not even gotten to the good part. After that was under control and both Jeeps were rolling again, we got to the good part. My bud took a go at it and either broke an axleshaft or grenaded his Detroit locker. Then tried to bump the first ledge and got really really close to tea ketteling it. So after winching him out of the way I putted through it, was a fun little side spur. After that excitement we decided to go do an easy trail with the rest of the Jeeps that were still in one piece. Well that resulted in getting snowed on, freezing our @sses off and a bend tierod that needed a whole lot of help, poor CJ had a bad case of knock knees. After that was resolved we decided that it was a really good idea to call it a day and start a nice warm campfire and drink some hot cider and rehash the fun day. Will add some pics when I find some. Found a few here goes, one of the broken drop pitman arms Citeren Link naar opmerking Deel via andere websites More sharing options...

aw12345 Geplaatst December 31, 2012 Auteur Rapporteren Share Geplaatst December 31, 2012 Drop pitman arms just aren't all that, to much torque and twist on them under hard use. Easiest way around it is to add hydro assist takes a lot of strain off the pitman arm Citeren Link naar opmerking Deel via andere websites More sharing options...

aw12345 Geplaatst January 1, 2013 Auteur Rapporteren Share Geplaatst January 1, 2013 It wasn't mine that broke. Mine is ready for tomorrow's fun. Just friends, the moral of the story is that drop pitman arms can and will break. Yesterday 2 of them in less than a quarter mile Citeren Link naar opmerking Deel via andere websites More sharing options...
