After 8.5 hours on the road yesterday, I pulled into a gas station in Fresno and couldn't turn left!
It was already dark, couldn't see what was going on under the hood very well. Called Roger and Mike for some consultation and got 'er to the Super 8 in Hanford, CA.

Went out this morning and saw some fluid under the front....coming right out of the stock steering stabilizer, which had broken at the nut the mounts to the tie rod, along with a noticably bent bracket on the tie rod end. (had fun in the dunes in Eureka)

Checked 2 local shops and nobody had a replacement, so with some zip ties and i little luck, limped 90 miles to Bakersfield 4 Wheel Drive Parts where they had 1 Pro Comp stabilizer in stock.

The charged me an hour labor to bang the shit out of the bracket which kept bending back as soon as they tightened up the new stabilizer.

Got back to Vegas safely...no noticable wobble....glad to hear Mike has Doug's old bracket in the garage. Will be putting that on shortly.

Thanks for the moral support guys!

 

Glad you made it home. Call anytime you know that

 

X2! Glad you made it back safe. I'm assuming you probably could have drove it home without a steering stabilizer??

 

Yep, downfall would be more prone to death wobble and steering wheel shake in general..

 

Coming down Hwy 20 out of Nice, CA to the 5 was rough....35s (37psi) were bouncing around quite a bit...winding road + narrow shoulders. Glad it was at least attached as much as it was for that.

Broken OEM parts = better upgrades.

 

Did a little pruning with the Jeep!

 

I did some of that Sunday .

Nevada Custom pin-striping

 

Removed my TPMS sensors at work today.

 

Picked up some snazzy new control arm skids! Helped fix the 'visiting Nevada JK' as well

 

It was a good nite thanks Mike
