I'm currently running summit raptors with 33's and no rubbing with just a fender liner move, bumper trim and removing mud flaps. So hoppefully not much more would be needed for 34's on the next go around if I go that route. a BMC I am sure, but hopefully not much more than that.

You may need to do some more massaging in this area with a BFH. Also, spray all that after with a rubberized 3M product.

The cutting only hurt for the first few inches I bet.

Yup, I will definitely need to hammer in the back of the fender well a bit. Going to be stretching out the suspension this weekend at Slickrock. So we shall see how it goes.

Alright spending the last couple of weekends repairing the damage from my last trip. First up was fixing my bent passenger side steering knuckle.



Pulling them off wasn’t too bad it just took a few steps to get everything detached and out of the way.





Compared to a brand new one you can see how bad it was bent.



While pulling off the hub I was really impressed how good the bearings were still after 164,000 miles. I’ll need to replace them eventually but they are still in decent shape.



Ok here is everything all buttoned back up I added the brake dust shield on later.



I’m not going to gusset them for now because I’m wondering if it’s better to have them bend vs. some other part of the front suspension break in a similar situation. After all I was able to drive out easily from this incident and 200 miles home

If you read my Rubicon trip report a key reason of why I went with an e-locker is right there. Every person I know who has run an ARB air locker has had problems with it eventually. The system is much more complex and there are seals that can get compromised over time. Sure I lose instant engagement but the Eaton is super quick, much quicker than the OEM locker and it just works.

I bet you regret selling that E90!
