Rubicat's New BooBoo

[munstie]

Insert full float rear here.

I wish. We're hoping to maybe upgrade the rear on Moby to a PR80 and then use the old 60 on Rubicat but, that's something for down the road.

An 80 on Moby?!? Is that driven by the size of his tires or do I smell a big white whale with a Hemi?

LOL!! Driven by wishful thinking of some kind of motor swap in the future.

Bet you wish that motor swap was already done to run powerline hill, hemi in moby = even more of a badass rig.

I thought so. Truth be told, I still wish I had my '09 because as nice as the Pentastar is, I'm a V8 guy in my soul and really wanted to do a swap.

Saw this on Facebook, crazy!

 

[Paisano]

Alright, looks like I got an issue sometime in the future.

That stinks, but it sounds like you have'll have a fix tomorrow, which is a good thing. Thankfully nothing more serious came out of the situation and everyone is safe.

You can certainly preform the swap on mine. . I'm really ok with that.

Sorry to see that it happened, but I've seen the exact same break in the exact same spot before on a moderate trail on a rig that's running coilovers. Driver was able to drive it home from big bear. I!m starting to think I should put beefed up links in that spot as well before i experience the same. Hope you are up and running in the next few days

Yeah, it's something you should keep an eye on. The factory mounts simply aren't made to take the kind of crazy flex and big hits that your new suspension can. If you catch it soon enough, it can be fixed easily enough.

Yup, that's the plan and yes, it's a good thing nothing else got jacked up :yup:

Lol! I bet you are!

I would have thought a front upper would have let go before the rear. So tall and thin they look very weak to me. Glad you'll have it sorted in time, that was bad timing.

 

[Trail Bud]

Ouch!!
At least it's a pretty easy fix.

 

[OverlanderJK]

That sucks! Hopefully you get it all welded back together today.

 

[wayoflife]

Unfortunately, we got busy helping out over at Off Road Evolution and never got around to getting things welded back up. Still, we'll be heading out to the Hammers today with just 3-links in the rear. Just gonna have to take it easy out there :crazyeyes:

 

[OverlanderJK]

Bring your welder.

 

[wayoflife]

Bring your welder. 

Oh yeah, standard equipment on a trip like this

 

[Hightower]

Eddie sorry to c what happened especially this time of year!

I like the PR 80 and Hemi talk.
Good luck ;-)
