I'll get some pics of the repair tonight. I only have the finished product though. Sewing those all cracks together looked alot like frankenstein. I still can't figure out how the p/o managed that. There are 4 holes drilled in a rectangle shape, you can kinda see. It also has the same holes on the passenger side minus the cracks. :dunno:
That's strange how those cracks oriented. It looks like an impact of some sort but the physical distress can cause interesting results in just about any situation. Who knows how long it's been there to spread and get worse too. Good find and it's all about peace of mind now for you...as far as that area of your jeep. The rest looks built TOUGH to me!
maybe they bolted a plate to the frame on either side then tubing out and a chain attached to either side to make a crazy truck pull for show offness and that side broke first...
that sounds about as good as anything... i have no clue how that could tear like that...
Heck yes man, glad to have you come along! We will be heading up on Friday afternoon I guess. Will be wheeling on Saturday for sure. Depending on what happens, may stay and ride Sunday as well.
