Maybe but still it should not brake.... I emailed Fab Fours with pictures still no word back... I just hope it is fixable

 

Adding sleeves would add about 30% more strength to the tubes. Looking at the damage I am not sure that sleeves would have prevented bending this time. Hydraulic Bump Stops might help but they are a little pricey. Mt Logan is working on a new set of external tube re-enforcements. They are welding larger tubes on the outside of the stock tubes. External tube re-enforcement would add much more strength than internal sleeves.

However, last I heard they are still prototyping and not in actual production.

 

Yes I saw that I think with my driving I should do the internal and external on the new axle as soonb as I can...

PLEASE let me know if ya know anyone getting rid of the stock front rubi axles

I am need of one...

Thanks!!!!

 

Grind a bevel at the base of the tubing and burn it with 7018 stickrod. It SHOULD hold up

 

Sorry about that, it's not tubing. If you drilled out where the carrier connects to the bumper, is there any way you could weld it from underneath? Sorry I'm not sure how the under side of it looks...

 

no ...I guess I could plasma cut the bumper and try ...but you would have to cut the bumper

 

So the moral of the story is what?

1) Don't drive in unknown dunes at night;
2) Don't fly high with unlimited on 37"s with stock Dana 44
3) Don't drink and drive? (j/k)

Would still of loved to see a video of this. Wonder how high he flew/dropped. D@mn!!

 

Your not hardcore unless you live hardcore!! And you my friend are hardcore!!

 

I bought it to use it

It is broken in at 3000 miles on it......

I am going to pull the axles out and try to straighten it next weekend unless I find a new axle for it ....have not found one yet

 

Well said....
