Pretty sure Sue did all her damage on Porcupine Rim. There was some banging going on there. Sucks the LCA got so damaged, first time I've seen that. And they SUCK to replace.

That first vid of FnT still doesnt convey the steepness of going down that first line on Carousel.

Think it could be welded to repair it?

My parts search of salvage yards says 96-97 Rodeos will fit. Anybody know?

Look like they're about $50 from a salvage yard, but oh the labor

It's all about alignment. If an alignment shop thinks that it's not too far out, then welding should be OK.

Looks like the lower was rock rolled & split, as long as it's not tweaked, a bit of a weld should suffice...

See KAT. 100% agreement from the nut bros. That's as dang near perfesh-un-al advice as you can get. Please let us know what your mechanic buddy says.

Home safe...

785 miles....10 hrs 54 mins...3 gas and go stops .. average of approx 72 MPH
( was paced for about 20 miles in Utah by a black State Trooper Charger... )

1 quart oil over the entire 2000 miles round trip..... all oil top ups in high elevation only.

(Dont ask MPG...I have long given up on that as its too depressing ..)

ORW turned 30 on drive home ( 30216 miles).

Great week!
Birthday fun
excellent wheeling
new friends
new mechanical skills

AWESOME.... is it next year yet?

Got home Sunday afternoon/night. Drove to butte Saturday and from butte home Sunday. 1200 miles home is a lot of driving.
Surprised I made it home in one piece with what I broke on Kane creek.
Exhaust needs to be replaced.
Bottom front left a-arm is bent.
Trans feels like it's slipping and maybe fooked.
Rear suspension is sitting on the bump stops.
Steering is wobbly.

But other than almost sliding off the cliff on Kane's, it was another awesome trip.
Thanks to everyone that made this an awesome trip!!!!

I was thinkin' more Les or Craig Blacklock (Now that's funny right there, "more les"...).
But of course being from up in Gods Country, I would think that way!

Dang, 3 tie rods and 2 LCA's this year? So far mine seems to have only suffered a fooked FPR (non trail related), smoked the clutch though it still works fine, and noticed while hooking the sway bar back up that both inner CV boots are shot (originals).
