Really?
I was thinking 4 years of hard abuse on 35s with 4:1 driving like Shannon Campbell if Shannon Campbell had a jeep.

I don't know.
I got them used off CL a long time ago and had them installed in my axle

Dude you can point at this and that all day long. But in the end 4 years of solid wheeling with 35s and low gears can take its toll on any axle. The 44 your putting in though Nick does have a stronger R&P

I would say gear deflection took it out so it would have been a forced preload issue caused by a disagreement between Nicks right foot and a 35" tire.
It was kinda suprising when it went, I was with Nick and we weren't doing anything too crazy. Must have been its time.

There is carnage abound......
I (thru a bad spotting), determined that the Warrior Products Rock bars, can only take so much abuse, before they end up folding under pressure.
I'm most likely going to have to take it into a body shop, have the pinch seam pulled back out, and obviously, the rock bars, are going to get replaced with something a little more beefy. I have sometimes questioned the integrity of these, but I HAVE really put them thru their paces over the years. They have held up thru a TON of abuse. I have put the jeep on a rock with these bars before....never had an issue. Drug the entire jeep over rocks with these, came down on stumps, rocks, pivoted against trees, and more. NEVER an issue. Just this time I think the force of coming down hard (real hard) with all the weight of the rig proved to be too much.
I MAY see if I can bend this back out, (somehow - I have no idea how I'm going to accomplish this. - a big ass press maybe?) -then reinforce them some how..... maybe some 3/16 or 1/4 welded to the bottom, or maybe some angle stock welded to the back side or something..... I dunno.
I DO really like the looks of the steps..... They're different, and if I can improve on them, all the better. If not? ...then I guess its time to start over.

awch josh, coming out of crushers? looks like were getting closer to that trade after all :gee:
I smashed my pinch seam, and rocker FLAT on the last jeep. I had to fix before the rails would go on. if you know somebody up there close with floor anchors in there shop. we can get it, there is a couple different ways to do it if there is no anchors but it is not fun let me tell you.
id say the "step" cutouts really did you in on this one. I almost got the same rails, until I relized that WP just cuts out the top of the tube to slap the steps in. imo this weakens the construction a bunch.

I guess my other option is to cut the whole rocker penal out all together, and weld in some 1/4" wall rectangle tubing or something.
I saw what Caleb did on his, I like it, but I dont like the fact the doors would have to be modified to work on it. That mod is prob not for me..... (at least not yet)
I have a buddy that works for a body shop near here..... I just sent out a message to him asking if he's got a tech that might be down for some side work to straighten out those seams a bit.

Modify the doors? I cut out my rockers and replaced them with 4x6 tube and never had to modify the doors. if the doors need to be modified, something wasn't done right.
i have a set of half doors and full doors, neither set needed to be modified to work with the rocker replacements.
