It was day one of our spring Moab trip and his new front axle completely failed taking his locker, control arms, track bar and a shock with it. It was all under warranty but his vacation really didn't go as planned. http://www.traildamage.com/trail_damage.php http://www.traildamage.com/trail_damage.php Sun, 01 Jan 2012 00:00:00 MST
