Well, I finally got these pics up, this past weekend I pulled the tdub off and put the stocker one back on while I wait for my new SLC.


First Pic: This is the front part of the swinger where it mounts to the frame., the entire middle bracing snapped out of place.



These next 2 are.... news to me. Cleaned the swinger up. Freaking welds around the right side brace of the shock mount..... Welds all busted.. Entirely aruond the freakin thing.  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I think I remember you and Socal bragging about the pretty welds on those swingers.  Just goes to show that "pretty" don't mean shit.

Glad you got a quality swinger in the works randy  :thumbs:

Looks like a combination of shit off shore Chrome moly and lack of penatration to me.

My +4'' was all cracked/broke around the welds on the carrier housing like yours is around the shock mount.

Looks like we all took it in the ass on these   :mad: Ol T-Flub better hope he's never at the dunes when I am, the rat bastard  :mad:

Randy is right about the welds, the other is metal fatigue for what ever reason, adds up to crap.

I hate to say it but if it looks lo\ike that its already broken. It just hasnt broken apart yet. You might be able to have a weld shop " wet it in " with a tig welder but it will very likely break any way.
