Yesterday I was going hunting and driving down a county road when the ground fell out from under me. Jeep came down hard in the front and broke the steering box and passenger front control arm mount. Then the wheels pinned to one side and I hit the guardrail and spun twice. Luckily I was only going like 20mph so my airbags didn’t even deploy. I’m all fine not a scratch on me.
As far as I can tell the only problems are the steering box and the control arm. I need some advice on what to replace them with. I can’t tell what a good steering box is to get. I know savvy make some amazing control arms but probably not in the budget right now. I just need to get it fixed. Any advice for that would be great.
Jeep is still stranded on the other side since we don’t know if the ground is stable enough for a tow truck and it’s pretty wide. Unsure how we’re gonna go about getting it out so far. Road at that point was one way in one way back out. On the bright side the Jeep held up great considering. You might look at the pics and say how did I make it out and honestly I don’t know. The hole was just falling in around me when I went over it and somehow I popped out. It happened really fast.
Anyway, if you guys have advice or ideas I’d love to hear them. Hopefully TWRA will pay a little for it since it’s their responsibility for the roads. Thanks guys.
