Thought what happens at TRR stays at TRR

Unless its gonasyphaherpalaids, then you're taking that everywhere with you for the rest of your life.

Several power steering pumps went out, especially on setups with 37s and a couple with superchargers. As far as the rear axle failure goes, it broke at the flange, trashed the brake caliper bracket, dust shield and parking brake and bent the mount on the axle and the axle tube where the seal is. There were reports that the axle was leaking and smoking, but driven anyway.

Several popped tires off of the bead (primarily front outside tire going into a turn).

let's remember if it's not your truck it's not you're business to spreed it on the inter web, unless you have the ok. FRF brotherhood especially no need to name drop.

Had to google what the hell that was. Thanks TJ...

I am no expert but from what I saw (rode with one guy), both LT Baja Kits broke at Baja Kits work (both customer welds to the frame held) on their boxed flat metal design above the UCA and below the upper shock mounts. One with the engine cage and one without. Pushed the upper box into the engine covers. Both trucks went out of commission for the rest of the event. There was a 3rd on a rear setup failure from what I understand but I did not see it nor heard much about it. Again, I am no authority to speak of any details of the matter.

you know what didn't break? RPG Bolt kit. holy hell it was fun.

Excellent info, exactly what I was looking for.

I couldn't imagine not using an engine brace with that kit ! The towers are way up there off the frame !
I'll get busy reinforcing the towers and engine brace.

I have a sneaking suspicion that the issue with the baja kit tower failing is isolated to the 3.0 kits. Which would explain why Simon and I have tortured our 2.5 kits without any troubles so far.
