We had a good time today even though I have never seen so much cable pulling! Carnage to my rear quarter on drivers side, fender flare and tag. Thankful just for that. A few have a lot more!

Hate to hear about carnage but it goes with the territory. Glad blue wes and Scott were able to help out. Everyone is responsible for fixing their own rigs but everyone in this group is always glad to help out. Just another great thing about our club members.

I was there last weekend for the bounty and it was nasty. Park doesn't dry out fast do to a lot of coverage.
Take the tie rod and gently beat the bend out. Tube is hollow so it can break. If its not that bad it will be a little off but you can drive it. If you have to go so far as replacing, an option at the part store is the zj tie rod. Bigger than the tj but fits. Good luck.

Scott, Tazman, and I did a Saturday hard ride led by BDDSI (Sammy). Mostly we were on trail 43, the one we did downhill on Friday. This will be an excellent rail when dry but was quite a challenge being damp. No carnage occurred until near the top when Sammy discovered that he had severely bent an arm on his Currie anti-rock, plus sprung a leak in an elbow fitting for the hydro steering. Got the arm removed, and he also had a spare fitting.
Then he decided to lead us on a small detour on the trail 45 loop, which has a series of tough ledges at the enty but is otherwise fairly tame. Lots of winching ensued. At the exit we discovered a fallen tree blocking the trail, and getting around it involved knocking down/breaking a sappling. That's the point where I discovered that my winch would only spool out but not in. Sounds like a solenoid issue. After getting all of us out and back on 43, we decided to go back downhill as being without a winch on these trails is unwise. I was backing up to turn around when I heard that SNAP sound that means trouble.
The shaft on the right rear coilover had broken off cleanly near the axle, resulting in a mangled lower spring. The rod suddenly extending also apparently hit the brake caliper and broke its weld mount, so that the caliper was hanging down. The brake line was intact, so I had brakes, and since I have bump stops I was able to nurse the rig downhill to the parking and get it on the trailer.

I kept a stock tie rod as a spare even when I had an HD tie rod. Figured a badly bent one would be hell on tires on the way home.
Kirk, I run this on my 8274 instead of the 4 solenoid box. I have an in cab switch though so wires were easy
