We went out wheeling this weekend with the S&N Fab guys from Washington and had a great weekend. Lots of fun times and crazy crawling. Yesterday as I was driving back up to the tow rigs my steering was feeling a little funny and I jumped out to check it. Even with my 3/16th steering box reinforcement on the outside of the "frame rail" I ripped the unibody in half. Basically from the back edge of the plating that I did the unibody just tore all the way across the bottom and up the back side, when I steer the whole front of my jeep moves back and forth. Also right where I ended my subframing (right where the "frame rail" goes from flat to where it bends up in the front) my unibody folded a little bit. I'm tired of working with this unibody shit, especially after seeing some badass buggys school my cherokee on the trail. I dont' know if I should plate the hell out of it and wheel it some more till it dies or let her rest in peace now and build something that actually has a frame? What do ya think?
