TeraFlex Long Arm Bracket Break

My repaired one broke again/ripped off a couple of weeks ago, this is the replacement bracket TF sent me. OBviously redesigned with more surface area on the frame but likely I'll break it again.

I will say when I was yelling at Teraflex last week about this they were quick to blame the installer and this is before I even told them where the bracket broke.

"The bracket was redesigned to account for installer error." I kid you not, I was told that.

How about, "the bracket was redesigned to not break or fail." If it is so important to be installed a specific way, then they should not sell parts for self install.

because it's easier to blame the installers.

What a surprise. Seems to be their answer to all the parts they make and break. :naw:

LOL. That was one of my options, but I've pretty much spent my annual Jeep budget for 2014 already. My plan is to replace with the EVO long arm kit when funds allow. Hopefully these "installer error free brackets" will last until 2015. :daydream:

Luckily, I haven't broken, but probably cause I haven't wheeled them that hard. Hopefully, mine will last until I too can afford to go to EVO Long Arms.

If it's one thing I learned from my last rig, it's don't put teraflex parts on it. That long arm kit was very annoying and does not perform as well as advertised. I will be going evo high clearance as well. Good luck with the new brackets. I hope it works out!!

I've been running the kit for over 5 years now. It's done it's time.
 
New ones are in and on the Jeep. Just need to trailer it to a local shop and have them fully burn it into the frame. These should hold up much better with the reinforcement and the full weld. Well, probably not full weld bc it's pretty tight between the tub and the bracket. Wasn't too bad of a job either on the garage floor.

I'll add to the absolutely normal crowd. I went through multiple sets on my teraflex longarms. Along with a set of broken rear frame brackets and cracking front frame side brackets.
