Default Ouray, CO Day 3, Corkscrew Gulch, California Gulch, and a broken JKS trackbar.....
It was a good day of toolin' around on some trails around here and then boom, a broken trackbar! Still trying to figure this one out. Thinking a fault in the forging of this bar alone must be the culprit because by all rights, the mounts should've ripped off of the frame or the axle before this bar broke in half.

I've been going to the Ouray area for 20 years, first on dirt bikes and lately in Jeeps. Just got back from a week in the San Juans. We got snow on Engineer pass.
