first emergency trail fix

[96Cruiser13]

Somehow during a mild trail run yesterday I managed to somehow break my passanger side sway bar bracket. That's not the bad part though cause I could have just took it off and kept going with a little more flex... The sway bar tore the steel brake line near it. I hit the brakes At one point and it went straight to the floor... Scared the s*** out of me.. I got to looking around down there (laying in mud and snow)and saw that if I took out the broken line and one of the small brake hoses, then it would have the same connections... But no flex. Then I just unbolted the bracket holding it to the frame so I could get some flex to get out of the woods and limp home. If it wasn't for this site, I know I wouldn't have had all my tools and extra fluid in the car... Felt awesome to fix it in the snow and actually limp home safely...

Figured I'd share that... It was exciting haha

Thanks
Ryan

Ryan, can ask a quick questions regarding your four wheeling event Tuesday. As you may or may not be aware of we have had a few issues regarding trespassing on private property. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the guidelines set forth by ONSC. Make note that on any event, as OHV users we need to leave as little a footprint as we can on the environment. In doing so it allows us to continue enjoying not only our vehicles but also the areas set aside for OHV use.

Glad you were able to get the 80 fixed up enough to get her home.
