Think it could be welded to repair it?

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.

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).

After a long az road, that was chock full of too many miles, we rolled into 58103 @ 11:ish tu pm...

SO damn glad to be home...

More on another day...now to

For once I didn't have any wrenching to do on the stoop...

Jerry's flat tire- swapped it with a full size spare.


All of my Moab pics are in my photobucket library. For some reason, only 11 pics were put into the "moab 2013" folder. All the other pics are scattered in my library.

Oh man you guys should have called me!! I could have walked you guys through it all
Looks like it was tough even for you guys and your fancy lifted rigs glad everyone got through it safe.

Awesome pictures Amy/Jon, thanks for posting! Working on editing mine tonight.

Glad you folks didn't post this last set of photos first. I wouldn't have continued to look. No way I will subject my car to any of those latest climbs or "cracks". Just a leisurely drive through the back country is my max. If I have to fix it in the field I shouldn't have been in that field. Thanks for the pictures, they are fantastic.
