Title: Extended bump stops
Post by: Norm on August 29, 2011, 05:41:04 PM

While out cutting back some trees at off road site I got Cherokee real twisted up on one of the sections.Front drivers side wheel stuffed itself so far up wheelarch that the top arm crushed and cut oil cooler pipe for transmission. So can anyone point me to an extended bumpstop supplier please. :jpshakehead:

My "get ya home" :steeringwheel:

the question is why is your transmission cooler pipe running near the control arms?

Yep, been there, done that although I got away with a bad dent and only a pinhole. Your 'get me home' repair looks better than the repair that I drove with for weeks!
