Arb winch bumper for $150?!?!?!? Lucky f-Er!
So finally got the busted up joints from my rustys adjustable lower control arms that freegdr and I and Dan manage to mangle...
Long story short I tried installing the new joints and noticed 1 didn't want to go all the way down...
Here's the reason why...

Good one

How? Um,,,,I don't think this was my fault...
I bought these control arms used through a friend for half the original price...
This is the the first time those joints have been off...
Me Gary and Dan attempted just to move those joints an inch so they can go on the Comanche when I lifted 4.5" in the front....
And to move them took dans f250 for leverage, his 6" pipe front bumper, 2 18" pipe wrenches and a 6' pipe just to move 3/16 of a turn...took ALL day to do

Nothing like a few early morning fishing casts off US-27. 5 fish in less than 30 min. Granted biggest one was only ~ 2lbs but still fun on A ML rod with 8lb test.
