Front subframe is tearing itself apart. WTF!

Those photos were from when my truck had around 55k miles.

 

NOOOO!!!! Fuck dude haha

 

Been doing Racetrack Playa road a bit too fast and a bit too much, have ya?

 

How much is too much?

 

I think one trip would do it

 

"Too fast" is relative , and there's no such thing as too much hauling ass in the desert.

 

Well, if you have to get flatbedded out for exploded shocks and other suspension issues, I’d say a bit too much and too fast...

I didn’t like that Bronco II anyways.

 

Bottom line you wanna play you gotta pay

 

where exactly is this located? i want to check mine

 

He said he lives on a dirt road. I'm guessing a lot of rough road driving. With stiff ass suspension set up. You need LT in your life.

 

Lol look up 500$ Cherokee on YouTube. There built better.

 

Haha, I would have to agree there. That is playing too hard.

 

That road is famous on Youtube for testing and killing shocks, even with a Ridgeline vs a OR Tacoma with stock yellow Billys.

 

When you exceed the tensile strength of the steel...you get cracks.

 

Updated the first post with a location.

 

What I don’t get is how it’s blown the spot weld out. That means it must be flexing super hard in that area guys.

 

Stock front will flex a lot off road. Upwards of 2"s if no extra supporting is done. Ie steel bumpers, skid plates, cross members,ect.
Its a cheap fix though. Squirt some weld on it. Add some support, replace body mounts like tetton said. If you wheel it a lot
Even just dirt roads, it's going to happen in all modern trucks, metal us thinner now days to cut weight.

 

These trucks are super soft... I have had my bed smack the cab and flex back to normal.

 

total sadness, now i am worried, i take mine often offroad forest roads and do encounter washboard roads alot, i do defalte to absorb but man this totaly shit if thats the case. gona tear mine apart tommorow to see.

 

My bed cracked in upper corner near cab drivers side. Flexed to hard.lol
