EVO Mfg saved my Jeep

Caught the Bug
So, last night I was T-boned at 45 mph+. The woman was driving a Subaru Outback. She impacted me square on with my passenger side. She impacted my EVO rocksliders and then the fron end of her car slide down the sliders and she ended up under my bumper. She brought me up on two wheels and when my Jeep slammed down it snapped the front Dana 30 axle. Absolutely no body damage at all. I just got a call back from the shop and they said the frame is straight and just need to replace front axle, powder coat the rocksliders and replace a tire. Here are pictures. I measured the rocksliders on both sides and they are dead on, they did not budge or bend a hair.

I’m glad that you are okay! And that is not that bad of a list for damage! You just got those axles from Brute right?

Wow. Glad you're OK, and that says a lot about Evo quality. Glad you have a spare axle sitting at home too.

Sounds like you avoided a roll over, whew! How will they settle up with you since you already have a new axle?

I am working that out now. I think I am going to have them throw a brand new oem one in and then swap them. Because I am moving in 3 weeks to Arizona and I would have to put both axles in, measure for the drive shaft lengths.
