So this is what I get for letting my Wife run a #5 trail...
Any body bent an LP-1 ???
& is there any way to bend it back ???

Wow, lets see some pictures of the bend.

What trail?Originally Posted by MitchRonda
Yes
Yes. Unsupported it will just bend again.

who was spotting?
btw, bent mine to shit (LP-1 bent up and dented my rocker area in front of the rear wheel) - bent back & reinforced with gusset plate where the frame tie-in tubes are welded to the main rocker tube
LP-1 not Paragon APPROVED
edit: fixed
if i didn't have 'em - i wouldn't be able to open my doors today

That's what they're there for, no?

I'd rather put a little bend in an LP-1 than turn the door and rocker panel into a taco.

The version that uses the 2 x 2 tube to the frame rail have a lower tendency to bend. Ultimate strength would be the simple 4 x 2 versions. A lot less forces are applied to the mounts.

So alcohol was involved? Serves you fuckin' right - NO alcohol when you're operating several thousand pounds of steel and aluminum!

Must have been ME drinking...thats why SHE was driving...lol...

the joy of wheelin if it bends or breakes just gives reason to get bigger better ones . if u were closer to me id hook up with a set that dont bend. and ill replace them if they do !!! its hard to ship them due to weight
lets see some pics of the bends i have seen a 1p1 take a 3' drop with no damage to slider or unibody but i had beefed them up some . u would think a hit that hard would deploy the air bag?

I/we have smacked them way hard before & never even twitched...
A witness said it was 1 hell of a slam...
Not going to worrie about it, the door works & still has protection for another day...
Besides, the Wife says "If we wreck it we''ll tube it"...lol...

I bent mine several times till I up graded to 2x2 steel for the arms. This worked well till I cut the whole rocker out. You'll bend those basterts every time if you come down on the outside edge of the slider.

Don't know any 1 with a frame rack & looking for ideas...M...

pulled it off the heep, laid it down on the driveway, and went at it with a sledge hammer and a few well positioned blocks of wood - trial and error

COOL...I'll give it a shot this weekend...M...
