| Broken G500 suspension in Denver. Shop advise
My G500 has been exploring the western states over the last few months. At 148K miles loaded for overlanding for the last 70K, off-roading and wash board roads have taken their toll. I investigated some new clunks and rattles. Fully expecting a minor exhaust hanger failure. Additionally my right rear spring is broken on multiple coils and my left rear shock has broken its upper mount perch. If I were home, a parts order from Eurotruck for a set of white/ red springs, new rear shock perches, and a full set of shocks. Some quality time with my new welder and good as new.
My plan is to leave the truck in Denver over the summer for multiple mountain trips, so limping or flatbed home isn’t a good option.

26 miles away and Russ L. Frequented this shop.

Within limping range and exceptional workmanship.
Any recommendations?

Thanks for the recommendations.
Got an estimate from Gunbarrel today. They definitely are familiar with Gwagens and inspired confidence if anyone needs work done in the area. I’ll probably go to OCD to have my work done, mostly to establish a relationship for future projects. |
