    Looks like they used 20 or 25mm plate on the repair.

    as in the bottom or the other side of vehicle?? yes time is tight but hell it would seem silly not to??

    what is the main hole for the bolt/spherical bush? is it just a parrallel hole or tappered or such?

    IMO if they need that trackwidth, they really need to look at a new housing and longer shafts. Get rid of those stupid spacers and dont run large offset wheels.

    chasing their tail with now an A frame problem. "fractured A frame" in their words, but working on it, again with the help from Ruffstuff Specialties.

    I have no idea if it its:

    the ball joint
    the axle housing mount
    the ball joint mount at arms
    or the arms themselves

    From their FB feed looks like it's the arm..

    yep, but its a custom A frame, not LR. Which would make sense being that they are @ 100 inch wheelbase. Looks like it has possibaly failed very near the join/weld of the tube that crosses over to the other side (LR stock A frame does not have anything joint the L and R arms of the A frame.)

    Edit: maybe, maybe not, hard to see how close the break is to the cross tube???........all a guesstimation by me.

    That tube looks thin... The OEM arms are solid (forged?) i-section bar.

    Looks to me that it has had a good hit near where it failed

    Looks like it took a couple of good hits on some rocks which dinged it initially causing a weak point, and with the amount of shifting and jimmying the rear axle does on the terrain out here twas only a matter of time before it folded up.

    Its a whole other kettle of fish out in the desert vs what i have seen of the UK style challenge events. Lots of big rocks on the course this year. I'm taking the day off of work on Friday to head out and watch the race. Should be a blast.
