Wow cool stuff Scott! Casey did it not disconnect? Or did the sway bar beaker break off? Looks pretty bent for sure!

Hi Casey. This has happened to a Jeep in our group a few times. They finially decided it was one of two things. Either the disconnect over-extended then bent over the tie-rod, or the tire grabbed it. So far the way they fixed it was installing heavier disconnects and putting wheel spacers on. Hopes this helps.

Yeah I'm pretty sure the tire grabbed it. I was amazed at first but that's the only thing I can figure.

Jason I think they are stock rear links and I know they are a little short so if you have something let me know! Thanks

Been trying to find the thread about an easy trail south of queen creek in santan valley. It was a recent thread but I can't seem to find it. Please advise.

Tried to hit up the coke ovens today. Longer and tougher than expected. Fell about 2 miles short. Box canyon was fun though.

Well I was up at bumblebee yesterday trying out some new lines. The passengers side was at full droop, I was locked and still spinning. I decided to use 11-1 low in the atlas and tried turning hard left to right to break loose off of the boulder my passenger side frame rail was siting on. This was the end result. I removed the link an then still had ti flex it back out to get the swaybar to clear the drag link and tie rod.
