No lights and bent subframe

[nytrozula]

After hitting a tree off the trail , I limped away and about 20 minutes later my lights went out. Right after it just got dark out and 50 miles from camp! I haven't had a chance to look at it yet but could it be something as simple as a loose relay? The impact was strong enough to stop me completely at around 30 mph. Both of my shocks are touching the front of the a arms so im certain the subframe is bent especially since it is an 08.

Get a new subframe as they have upgraded the guessts in it then put in he grizz plates. Might check with Ulmer he was posting he had some with plates installed ready, new ones. Glad you didn't get hurt!

Perfect time to skinz upgrade it too!

Its going to work out great! I'll use the insurance money to do work myself and upgrade everything! not sure about the hurt part....my ego is killing me! I crashed not far from Schoefiled....we were in Tomahawk!

Yeah that is much better then actually being hurt lol How were the trails up there? Haven't been able to ride much yet

Sometimes you can pry the frame back and add gussets to prevent it from bending again. It's normally worth a try. The lower a-arm mounting holes also could be egged out which can be repaired then prevented from happening again by welding the nuts to the frame.
