after i am all fixed up, i will try to make it back out there again. it was alot of fun, learn something new about my jeep every time

 

here are a couple more pics I took










I would have liked to of stayed out there longer but I left early because my fuel pump was making a S**T load of noise so im going to replace it

 

and here is a random picture for u

 

OMG such a blast!! Would of loved to stay. Such a great place, can't wait to go go back to walker.

 

Wish I could have made it, my front axle is acting up, think my locker is letting go. Next time!

 

Looks like you had a blast.... anyone wanting to go next sunday?

 

I might be up for a run next sunday I need to put a new fuel npump in
my rig first

 

well i am all up and running and repaired, ready for another run soon, here are the pics of the damage and the fix

here is how far the leaf spring moved, it was about 6 inches or so



here is the center bolt that broke off and allowed all this damage to occur. i replaced it with a stainless steel grade 8 bolt


messed up leaf spring.


leaf spring taken off and taken apart to be repaired and put back together


leaf spring removed


new bolt installed, leaf spring put back together and repaired





leaf spring re-installed, axle re-centered, all back to normal



bushwackers re-installed and tire is center again!



this took all but 2 hours to do, i did both sides this way. i am now much more confident in the ability of my leaf springs. good upgrade to do for others, especially if you run a locker.

on youtube or somewere els?
