Exclamation My Front End Is Falling Off!!!

Ummm, I think my front end is going to fall off. Fellow FJ lovers, help me out on this one. Has anybody else seen this kind of damage/defect on any other FJ's? I'm thinking since it's a first year model this would hopefully be covered by warranty... Input please...

Go with Donahoe! I've got 'em front and rear.... 2-4' air often, 6'+ drops on occasion and no problems at all... Been to their headquarters in Norco, GREAT guys... Talk to Mike in sales!

PS... They ARE pricey, but they're rebuildable...
And... They won the Baja 250!!!
ya, right theres your problem.... I would say a big "NO" on warranty coverage. Maybe check your insurance company.

Re: My Front End Is Falling Off!!!

Time to find a fabricator and get some plates welded on that can reinforce your front end. Guess big air in your FJ is not such a good idea....unless you have sponsors backing you for the Baja 1000!

Re: My Front End Is Falling Off!!!

WTF ??!!? Have you been getting air?? Have you had any excessive weight on the front end, besides the bumper/winch?
