After the caves we go on some skinny trails.

A nice slick hillside with roots sticking out..

The bolt that held the top spring retainer sheared off letting the spring fall out. Here is what held it the remainder of the trip.

The lower spring retainer was bent by the sprung spring.

I think I need limiting straps now. Where is a good place to get them?

Great pics man, looks like you all had a blast. :beer :beer

Man looks like fun.. Thats some pretty funny stuff. Never seen a TTB spring do that before.

Hope the truck wasn't hurt.

Cool pics!

It's crazy that the spring flew out!

When the spring ejected, It was more funny than anything else. Everybody was like Wow Now what?
Then my buddy and I propped up the front and slid the spring back into place put a 2nd jack under the axle put the tire on and was back in business. 45 min tops. We stopped to watch a drunk girl puke for a while. We are going back up in a fews weeks.

I think I'm going to limit travel with some 3/8" cable with swedged ends. :rebelflag

Cool pics. Nice thinking on the spring. I would've been like. WTF do I do now?

It was no big deal it just sucks that it was MY BRONCO. At least I showed up te heeps on the hills and got to use the winch
