Dirty, off road trucks look better than a clean rig!

Not the truck, but this is why I have the RZR!

Well, had to go rescue my rzr last night after I broke an rear upper a-arm for the second time in a couple years. It doesn't make sense to me why that one keeps snapping completely in half like it does....No signs prior as I literally checked over all suspension components last Friday when I replaced a CV boot on the front. Luckily it broke down after all of the stuff that would have prevented my truck from making it back there..Most of the hill climbs in the video are around 12-17 degrees according to the truck....and those are no where near as steep as what was just done by the rzr.

But since I had my dash camera on, I decided to pull the footage from the truck and make a video of the off roading experience. Night time colors aren't great on the return trip, but overall I am satisfied with the camera quality.
The video, for the most part, is at 3x the normal speed.
Here is the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0j4K...ature=youtu.be

We fixed it with some flat stock, self tapping screws, a threaded rod on the inside, a ratchet extension to brace the bottom, and a ton of hose clamps to hold everything in place. It worked and got us out of there.
