The last wheeling trip through the myra was harder on er than I thought. My steering box is tearing away from the frame and cracked it in like 3 places (the frame). Looks like I won't be wheeling for awhile until I can muster the cash to get her fixed. Likely have to strip everything off that front corner, and reenforce that whole section of frame. My neighbour does heavy welding like that, but he doesn't work for free lol. Anyways, I hope to be out again asap, but for now, its out of order

That's a very commom spot for cracks on a YJ. I just looked at a '95 that's cracked in the same spot.

Rob, Sorry to hear that you are out of commission for awhile. The trail didn't seem as bad as some that I have sone since I have been going out with the club but it looks like it took its toll on us. Give Andre a call at APJ's and get him to give you an idea of what it will cost to fix. I am sure that the boys will have to see it first but at least it will give you a ballpark figure. Like Allan said, I hear it is a pretty common thing so I am sure they have seen it before. Good luck with it John

Hey Rob Sorry to here you had damage to. The trail did not seam that bad of run. But many jeeps came out with some carange. My jeep ran fine through the whole trail but back on the ride home I to had to be towed home. The linkage was bent. Sorry to here you won't be out wheeling for a while but if you want to go out some time Frank and I always have a empty seat. I can always use an experienced co pilot. ;D

Thanks for the offer guys! I may just take you up on it some time As for the frame, I am well aware that it is a common spot. I had to have it reinforced before, but now it is cracking around the previous repair. The guys at APJ's do great work, but my neighbour lives next door, and if I help him with the work, and bring the beer, I can get a real nice price I should be able to get this thing back on the trails before long. I have a few things I need to do for safety anyways, and this will just motivate me to get them done.
