I'm running Mikes 3x3 trailing arms and have put them through hell. Think I've rolled it 4-5 times since I put them on.

This is one roll to show you what they've been through.

2 years later I decided to fix some damage after that roll. This will show you how tough his trailing arms are.

Beat on it for 2 years with the irs pivot like that. I did weld the bolt in just to get by.

Knocked out the thread insert and crushed the stinger.

New Irs pivot I'll be installing.

Another roll on his arms.

It's nice to know your work is appreciated, although I wish there was a less dramatic way to prove something is tough.
Thanks Brad.

I like the idea of running a bolt behind the pivot bolt to keep it from backing out 8)

Brad tested! And buggy approved! Lmao. One day soon I'll get my set of them out on the trails to beat on. Not only are they strong but with the extra bearing set up they are going to be better to run the bigger wider tire. Chad :mrgreen:

The bolt on the backside beats grinding the tack weld off anytime I need to pull the pivot bolt. I'm gonna have to incorporate that in mine.
