Busted weld
I think I know what failed when I jumped Setsuna last year in the river bottom. When looking under the truck a few days ago, I noticed the body mount on the passenger side in front of the front door broke from the body weld. It sure is the one since it is an inch lower than weld, and that explains the weird angle that couldn't be repaired. I already contacted my buddy who will weld it back on tomorrow.

That looks like a pretty clean Jeep without much rust, how hard did you jump it? Looks like you had some fun

My guess was that I was going about 35-40 MPH when I jumped the washout. If I was going faster, I would've cleared the jump and probably saved myself the trouble.

When in doubt throttle out. But it dosnt look too bad one thing you can do to lign everything back up is put bolts in the rivet holes on the mounts and that will hold everything in place till you get it welded back up then I would just leave the bolts in for added support.

Pretty common break areas CJ.
I've done several of those on local rigs over the years.
Clean all that crap off of there, jack them into place and weld them up.

Don't have to jump
I have one of those on the left side, 1200 miles of washboard have the same effect.
