And the Weener is?

I see nothing wrong with any of those

So what you are telling me, is that when I used a ratchet strap to hold my draglink up, after it bent down to the axle tube while in a ditch, so that I could drive the truck an hour to my house, I should have taken a picture?

I sheered a centering pin on the front axel one night..

loosened up the u-bolts, used a 2 come-a-longs to locate axel back in place..re-tourqued the u-bolts wheeled it that next day and drove it for a week.

Im a little embarrased by this but I sheered a center pin one time and didnt know what had happened. when I would drive down the road it would pull to one side and when I would brake my axle would shift causeing some real scarry steering. decided to look at it one day and you could see where the axle had been sliding back and forth on the spring. loosened the u-bolts that were already pretty loose, and jacked up the frame and the spring pack came apart. now I check my u-bolts once a week to make sure they are still tight.

once a week?

over kill for sure, just check them every oil change, if they are tourqued correctly they wont move, also noted is u-bolts strech and are not designed to be used over and over. torque them, then go back after a couple hundred miles, redo it and they are good to go.

I'm with you on the rebar or anything else you can bend over your knee

Exactly!

Necessity is the mutha of all creations! And there's some real muthas there!!
I reckon 10 is a 'set up' joke as the rest of the job looks good.

Damn there's some scary people out there.

Same here ! I'm a carpenter by trade and the only thing rebar is good for is burying it in concrete , not good for use on steering a 4x4 . # 10 was pretty bad too . I think all those asshats that built that stuff should be slapped about the head multiple times with a 44" bogger . That's booty fab at it's best .
