Getting ready to order a new sway bar, upgrading to 1" ends from the .875" I had also thinking about going to steel arms instead of the aluminum arms I had.
A few times I've been asked for part numbers for the bar I used, posting this here so it's easier for me to find in the future.Official Website | PAC Racing Springs

What's your thought on why that broke on that jump? Was there a some sort of bind with the sway bar?

 

[J Mack]

I had bought used aluminum sway bar arms that measured .625” thick 1.5" wide 12 long with unknown cycles on them, I broke an arm at the narrowest point across the splined area.

I could have done several things to prolong to life of that arm and wouldn’t have an issue replacing it with the same arm but they have some slightly thicker/wider arms available so I’m hedging my bet and ordering one of them since we have plenty of room.



The two arms I listed,

PAC-ALA222 1" 48 Spline Sway Bar Arm .750 thick 2" wide 14 long 2024 Aluminum ARM



PAC-SLA223 1" 48 Spline Sway Bar Arm .750 thick 2" wide 14 long 4130 Steel

JUMP?

Jump!

I believe my ice chest may have damaged the arm the day before, looking at all the stainless lines in that area it’s obvious that’s where the ice chest got wedged during the melee.
I'm ordering the steel arms this time to try to ice chest proof that section of my suspension..

JUMP?

Different day, other than the dog prints on my headliner we made it through that one in pretty good shape.

Time to get a styrofoam cooler, easier on running gear and tell your dogs to quit dancing on the ceiling.

Hitting those cattle guards at 70 made for some Bo n Luke Duke time.

Bad enough to miss the Trip, but I missed all of this too. WTF . Too many or not enough .

2019, might want to keep it 1 camp instead of moving, if this is what happens

...things didn't quite go as planed.

Look for some changes to the target carrier soon.

Like not jump your Pig?

Am I correct there was also a French Press lost in the action?

Wow, I clearly did not choose wisely when I missed this year's Pig Party!

You have a point there Bob... We could just sit back and watch @J Mack go at it - sounds like it was pretty entertaining!

 

[scrapdaddy]

sounds like it was pretty entertaining!

Not the time, quite a few of us lost a couple heart beats and some of us can't afford that.

 

[bobm]

Blame the Dog.

 

[J Mack]

Blame the Dog.

Yeah something like that..
