Had a local AWD cruise from Cincy to Warsaw, KY today. Bunches of Scoobie-Doos three Evos one DSM(trooper on this board) and me. On the way back decided to take the planned route in reverse following the organizer and a few other guys. We were stuck behind slower moving traffic going around a corner when I started to feel a very bad vibration coming from the driver's rear side. My first thought was busted CV. Turns out my welds from extending the strut broke leading to this:
So a repair was needed as I was twenty some miles from home and do not have money for a wrecker. This is what we did:

This is looking over the top of the tire into the wheel well. What's missing?
So I got to ride home on a stilt! And it worked! So lesson learned: don't weld struts if you're gonna be a chicken about it and turn the heat down on the welder. I think I am going to be making the upper mount extenders that I have seen on here.
