Why not to jump an old land cruiser delete

[SHERMAN FJ62]

Accidentally jumped my 62 in the Francis Marion broke the front passenger side spring. Anyone have a set of stock springs laying around

 

[mdeane]

that sucks... but question, what road did you jump it on? I'm looking for good trails to ride

 

[SHERMAN FJ62]

Intersection of halfway creek going across steed creek at 5 am at about 65 mph. Broke two springs then. Rest collapsed last week

There is a dip. Weak point was that side because the truck bottomed out only on that corner

Ouch! Oh no!

There's a 2 way stop sign there and you blew through it at 65 MPH? That must've looked like a Dukes of Hazard General Lee jump. If no one has one, post up on ONSC. Good luck and let us know if you need a HAMOM.

I accidentally posted the story twice. Didn't want a duplicate post

Oh, well, my assumption was funnier. It's still best to not incriminate yourself online. Just saying.

Yes there is a stop sign there. And I missed it despite going out there all the time. Luckily someone was watching out for me and there wasn't a massive collision.

Oh wow, lol. Can't say I haven't broken a main leaf before, but not a whole pack. Nice work

We were backpacking near there once and heard a crash there. I know that intersection well.
The driver that wasn't at fault( was turning onto Steed Creek) was drunk. Might have seen the car flying down Halfway Creek if he wasn't.
To answer your question, I don't have any stock springs I don't think. But I'll check.

I have replacements ordered with free shipping. Will try and get them replaced here in the next week or so

I found out with ARB springs you have to use their bushings atleast with a 60 series like mine. Project has been pain a lot of cutting
