    can you get a thickness measurement on the bushing sleeve so we all know how thick(or thin) it is?

    I hate to say this but two on either end (or one the whole width) would have served you better. The ends are the place that the cracks start and then they propagate to the center.

    Looks nice otherwise.

    I know you know this but I would drill holes on the end of each of those to stop them from going any further. Time to slap a crawler box in that bitch!!! :)

    im ordering a new one in the morning and then going to figure out a way to reinforce it before i slap that bitch on. i think that's the best option right now..easier then fabbing up something completely new
