Here are what my factory bump stops looked like when we pulled them out last night. Kinda sad.....

^ holy crap, is that on a stock suspension or did you have any suspension mods - and is that just the front or rear or both ??

It looks like they did their job. Be thankful they were there :)

Yes.... stock suspension. Well, I had the BWoody end links on it for a little while but there's no way they could have caused this. I believe they just deteriorated due to being pieces of chit! :D Be honest with you..... I don't remeber if they were fronts or rears. I just saw them on the floor and flipped and snapped a picture of them. My buddy tends to think that some fluids got on them and that's the reason the deteriorated. Could be true..... I had a tranny leak back in Feb. for a few weeks. Who knows.... Anyone else's look like this?

Horrible focusing. Even more horrible bumpstops. Mine look like new at 11k miles. Should have kept them in.

Yeah right..... I have been known to do a few HARD launches in my lifetime! :eek:

Dude..... the pictures were from my iPhone, not my digital.

Thats bad man mine looked fine when they were off on Friday

Quit jumping the Jeep! ha ha....

Damn...thats bad....good thing you got new suspension.

DDDAAAMMNNNN!!! u sure you didn't have any squirrels chewing on it or somethin!!!! GEEZ!:D

Those are the rears, and at 30,000 mine looked brand new. Something was messed with yours

Maybe that's why it used to launch so good :D All I can say is I like it now and the overall RIDE of the truck going down the road, doesn't feel much harsher than stock. It defintely feels better in the turns though!

Anyone know if tranny fluid blowing on them for a month break down the material from which it's made of? That was another thought from my buddy.

^ yep, probally soaked into the stop than they just degraded from that point on.

Hard to believe, but maybe...

Yeah there had to be something going on. Mine has close to 36k on it and I put my bwoody springs on saturday, my stops looked like they were fresh out of the box

Mine were perfect too...those things were focked up. Some kind of chemicals or something had to get on those to deteriorate them like that??? Maybe certain car wash soaps or wheel cleaners?

I didnt even think about that. The spray on wheel cleaners could easily get to them and would probably do work on them especially on hot days

Something must have deteriorated them. My Jeep has more miles and mine are pristine.

I don't use wheel cleaners.... only soap and water. Like I said, I did have a nasty tranny fluid leak for about a month. Got to be it. The truck never bottomed out. Remember, these are foam or urathane or something. Still leaning towards the tranny fluid. Actually, I really don't care. They're off the truck now and new one's are one. I just don't see anything else doing this to them but a fluid of some sort and a tranny leak was proven.

Maybe I sabotaged them last time we were at the bar:D

*****er..........
