My dana 35 was already bent.

I think I bent it.

Of course you bent it...

Now you need to wheel through the 'Con backwards so that it will bend back to normal:smokin: :rasta:

I noticed it driving in front of him, lookin in the mirror theres definatley a LOT more of the passenger side visable than the drivers side. Standing in front of it has the same effect. we need to bust out the tape and measure it dude :)

The doors are kinda goofy now.

I really really bent one of those frame rail look alike things under my jeep what do I do now?

Do you really want to know how bad it is? If you measure it, then when Todd goes to sell, he'll have to disclouse the info. What he does not know won't hurt him.

We could also try some at home frame straight'n. Rig with a winch on each corner, pull baby pull :nuke:

Hell Todd, the biatch got you home, didn't it? Keep runnin' it and it'll straighten itself out again :) Do you think your speed run from Loon to Ellis had anything to do with it?:eek: :rolleyes: I thought so;)

So if he runs the trail backwards, at the same speed, would it straighten him out?:flipoff2:

If I bend the other side I will gain more ground clearance and my tires will stick out evenly again.

I'll have to see if my dana 35 can hold up to some more 20mph runs through the trail :D

sure.. as long as you are trying to kill that D35, it'll probably be as strong as a D60. LOL.....

It'll break in a mall parking lot.. just watch.

My dog walks sideways like that. It's like his ass is trying to get there before he does.

Look at the paint really well - it should have ripples or a "bent" reflection in it. I mean, it SHOULDN'T, but if the "frame" isn't straight, then neither will be the body. And if the body ain't straight, you'll see the telltale marks in the paint.

You're assuming that you can see a reflection in his paint, I haven't seen any reflection in my paint for two years, until last weekend when I finally broke down and had it painted, not sure if I like it or not.

Then you're also assuming that his body isnt already all bashed up

Hmmm old XJ with reflective paint? I dont think so... Unless you consider chipping clear-coat "reflective".

HAHAHA
12 year old Chrysler paint shine BWAHAHAHA
The shit barely shines when it is wet. :flipoff2:

Is my jeep bent if the spaces in the door jams are way off.
Is it bent if The floor at the drivers side feet is bubbled up and I can make it pop like the lid of a Snapple bottle only with a deeper thunking tone :D

My XJ dog legs too. I think it was hit before I got it. The rear backrest is 'U' shaped (ok, not U shapped, but bent), and it's been repainted. People sure comment on it a lot!!

i would take it to my friendly local auto body repair shop and ask them to check it out. if its bent, they will be able to throw it on the frame-rack and pull it back. i would guess it to cost you anywhere from $150 to $300.

Nah, just run it, good conversation starter with the ladies "Q:Why is your truck crooked? A:From so much funky lovin' in the back seat baby" That's bound to work, course, I've never been that good with the ladies.

I like the way the Soccer MILFS give me the stink eye when I pull up next to them in my No more sport having Utility vehicle.

I know they want me.

A trip through the box should fix it, or the Friday evening wheeling to find Scout Dude and Rockslut will also take care of it.
