Anyone - July 25th - Uwharrie

It has a H55 that was supposedly installed at the dealer when new.

No idea how I bent that spring. I wasn’t aware of it until my mechanic told me.

I saw the videos of the last mountain trip, so I'm pretty sure I know how you bent it! Those trails looked pretty gnarly!

@raanderson77 who is your mechanic? Always looking for good mechanics for land cruisers in this area.

Since it looks like it will be raining I am out. Our little go kart is open and I don’t want to be dealing with muddy trails in a 2wd vehicle.

My mechanic is a bit eccentric, temperamental, and secretive. I can talk to him and see if he is taking on new clients. He's typically pretty busy and not interested in taking on new work.

I actually think it happened on the first rock face on the way to Top of Daniel. I tried to climb a section of rock face w/o luck. I recall there was a lot of rock meeting metal.

Completely understand. I do most of my work myself. Was thinking for harder stuff.

Post up a couple pics of the damage. it should not be too hard for guys here to tell you what is broken/ wrong. also how to possibly fix it.

The one picture he sent me is on my phone, but the spring looks pretty bad and I trust my mechanics judgement. There is the spring that mounts inside the shackle and then there is the spring that runs underneath it. That spring juts out and curves around just outside of the shackle. There should be a bit of a gap. That spring is completely jammed up inside the shackle. I've already ordered a new one from Dobinsons. It actually wasn't too much $$

Left turn signal day. Never seen so many newbies. Go 10 feet real slow, stop, block trail and take pictures. All types of vehicles. And never seen so many 30 day tags on brand new jeeps. Had a blast and passed most groups. The broken spring on the 62 was crazy. Wheel was sitting 3 to 4 inches back.
