My buddy bent the crap out of his lower link mount/ tcase crossmember after dropping backwards off a large rock face which in turn twisted the pinion up to the point that the u joint wouldn't turn. Cut the whole thing off and had to realign everything (two highlifts, three winches and a tree) and welded back on. Had the fuel pump relay fail, hot-wired that no biggie. Only to have the crossmember fail again due to tubing damage we didn't catch the first time. Repeat process earlier only add a bottle jack. Limped out with front wheel drive only strapped to a 4runner. Left the springs at 7:00am Sunday, made loon lake by 9:30pm, arrived home at 5:15am Monday. No thanks to the extremely rude and discourteous folks from Jeep Corp.
