HAD TOO MUCH FUN! Repair questions / sugestions

Time to upgrade aftermarket parts.

 

Yes i was in the process of getting the ARB front bumper ordered, along with the ARB under armor for the bottom of the truck. WARN wench too. If the boulder had went totally under the truck i wouldn't have had a way to pull myself off of it. I was a bit cocky on this trip out and it nipped me in the rear, or should i say the front end.

 

It makes sense now. I was like wtf why does the sway bar have drop brackets

 

Any recomendations or sugestions for quality replacement tie rods or CV's. Brands or websites, etc.

 

yup, ripped the brackets right out of the frame. got a freind who's husband and son both weld.

 

There is no such thing as too much fun.

Now, there is cheap fun and expensive fun. You went for expensive fun.

Sorry, can't help with the parts.

How much bigger are the holes in the frame? That looks painful.

 

Yes definitely went for the EXPENSIVE route, was totally worth it though. Had almost every element on my drive including a small river crossing. i need a GoPro or something to record stuff like this, lol.

 

Damn Dave! That's Montana crazy! Didn't half-ass nuthin'... that musta been hairy-ballzak!

 

Go all in or GO HOME WITH YOUR HEAD TUCKED UNDER YOUR ARSE, Right!

 

You're beautifully sick in the head my brother! And the attitude to go with it. If I had done that when I was married... Big wonderful D! Single now...ahhhh!

 

Oh yeah, i am happily divorced. Enjoying life while i still have a little youth left in me, I am 49 years old and not getting any younger.

 

Full Send !!!!!!

 

Yeeeeeehawww!!! Beat that motherf*%£er like a red headed stepchild.

 

!!!

 

Out in front a bit brother but if what they say is true and the motto I live by "you're only as old as you act", don't worry about a fucking thing man! 49 is the new 29.... and freedom feels just right.

EDIT: my pops always said that age is a number and having birthdays is better than not having birthdays. You are the sum of your experiences after all right?!

 

I am still driving it around, to work and back basically, being it has 2 inches of pigeon toe going on its gonna wear the tires a bit on the insides of the two front tires till i get a fix. back to question: DO YOU THINK IF I GOT THE QUICK TIE RODS REPLACED THAT IT WOULD CORRECT THE PIGEON TOE PROBLEM TEMPORARILY TILL I FIND NEW CV AXELS AND A NEW ANTI ROCKER?

Any Suggestions on better quality parts for replacement?

 

Man, I think that sub-tie rod (bent part) may be a part of the inner tie rod assy on the steering rack. Not sure.

 

Steering and alignment seem to be normal, dont feel any pull in one direction or the other. Guy at local shop, MIKES OFF ROAD gave me a quick diagnosis that the tie rods and CV's should be changed out. LOL, he never commented on the Anti Rocker, he prolly knew i was being an Evil Kenivel idiot to rip that out of the frame.

 

Check frame... looks like an aggressive impact.
