Couple of pic from the damage and a couple from the fix. Ended up sleeving the inside of the existing torsion tube with a 2" .250 wall tube for strength then re braced the outer portion of the torsion front and rear with 1 3/4".

Well after a fun weekend in Ocotillo Wells with some Great friends i managed to lose 4th gear so got the motor out and the trans loaded up in the truck and headed to McDowell Performance today for some trans love. (maybe i will upgrade from my 2D 4 speed to a 5 speed).
Same weekend met some new friends at the 1st annual Ocotillo Wells take over hosted by Baja Society and Forsaken Society. what a great event we had right around 40 Baja Bugs show up it was awesome
