johnnybebad Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 this is my 2nd run of the day in a 96 cherokee that I have beat the living bejesus out of for 2 years. the front end is NOT trussed, and the day before this event I had found that the factory original ball joints had beaten a hole up through themselves on the lowers lol. on the first jump as soon as I landed I knew something broke and by the time I landed the second one i couldn`t steer .....turns out the alloy rim literally broke almost in half, and where it shattered actually caught the tie rod end,but somehow it kept on moving lol....enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pingpong Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 I think the week part was the alloy rim. By the way looks like fun :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnybebad Posted January 21, 2010 Author Share Posted January 21, 2010 yeah i knew it was only a matter of time. I bought the rims and tires for $100 with a set of Wild Country RVT`s on them , so i wasn`t too concerned with the rim. switched back to steelies after that run lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
