Posting up from CO on new account - Land Rovers Only

Banzai Jimmy · 11-18-2007, 03:39 PM

I figured I'd better post up or else have something happen to my account! I don't think I ever posted up from the last one I had here, so it was useless when I actually went to use it.

Many from CO will know me.

Hope to meet more of you.

Here's to getting out and wheeling!

Already get that trailing arm swapped out?

I had my Rockware arms out a few weeks back to get new bushings pressed in at JC Rovers, and was talking to Jeff about how they do pinch the upper bushings a bit since the bend isn't enough for a 3" lift (probably would be perfect for a 2"). So, Jeff turns me loose on a bender to add a little bit more to it. As I was giving the second arm a little more pressure in order to match the first one that was already done, I feel the tube give under the pressure

It cracked on the top side... so out with the welder to weld up the crack and then I welded in a brace on the bottom side to help keep it from flexing enough to tear the new welds on top.

Always has to be something!
