Shit happens. Gladiator recovery on Golden Spike Trail (due to broken front track bar)

[guarnibl]

No way I will be doing a trail like that.... wow!! I am talking about the path that the Trail Mater took... that was intense...

Golden Spike is a really fun trail. It's not that hard (7). Rusty nail is a lot harder though and gets you all puckery.

Hydro assist can exert a lot of force on brackets it is mounted to.

yeah, didnt realize it was big rears with hydro till watching the clip...snapped it right off.

Peace of cake

breaking the track bar before tearing up the steering is radical....how in the world

The bracket is what broke. That's a real confidence booster. Have you looked at the welds under your Jeep?
Some are a bit concerning.

Looks too heavily frosted for me to want a piece.

But it is a Power Wagon of course it can do it

I've done most of the trails in Moab with the Power Wagon. Been there 7 times.

That's a whole peace cake

Just watched it. It must've been a summer season leftover though.
It's been cold wet and snowy out there lately.

I've lived in Moab almost 8 years and this is the snowiest season I've seen yet. Should be an interesting Safari this year!

Oooo I’m excited. I want to go do a trip up prior but I’m such a wimp with the cold.

I like the front bumper on that JT. Now to match it up on the web...

But that front axle was a one ton with custom brackets wasnt it, and the hydro steering was added, I guess I didnt look close enough. That made me think someone welded that bracket w little penetration and it busted off

Only thing I ever found my Power Wagon was good for...

Yikes! I didn’t think they had a reputation for breaking.
I mean jeeps have a reputation for that but I’ve driven the shit out of mine and hasn’t had a problem (Knock on wood). Bad luck maybe
