Ron...
We've got to get together more often and offroad! Hey....check out my post on UNBREAKABLE..stock tie-rods break at the point where they are about 1/2" in diameter. You can't tell looking at the pic, but those bad-boys are just over 1 1/4" thick!

Frank (Rockyoda)...
You are 1/2-right....the TC did sense the slippage and suddenly sent the juice/torque to the other wheel. The real problem was that the wheel was jjjjjjjjjust ppppperfectly perched that it had traction only on its outside tread.
You see...the tire is so darn wide that traction on the outside (excluding the middle and inner area) leads to actually push/rotate the tire inwards.....that extreme push inwards thrust is what did it in.
Honestly...Alec is a great driver (I'd almost let him drive my ride)...it was just a fluke thing that his tire was pivoted against that rock as such to drive it inwards like that.
We already have E-lockers on our rear. There are some after-markets supposedly available for our fronts, but I don't know of anyone having done it yet. Also...we can't disable our TC systems.
We walk a fine line between using momentum and trying to keep our speed.....yet not hammering the power too much. In a 3-ton+ rig and a very isolated cabin...it isn't easy!
I know poor Alec is agonizing over both the mistake that day on the trail and the unintentional release of his screw-up....which has spread like wild-fire and circulated over the entire globe...only to bring a fierce and deliberate ridicule to our precious H2's....
I fully expect to see that piece as an unknown author entry for America's funniest home videos.
Those Bastards!!!!

Funny what our "lunchboxes" can do. Have fun with that ****box Escape. Driving one of those is like owning any dog small enough to get raped by a squirrel.

h2h8r,
I see you're selective in who you respond to. Pussy, I was looking forward to tearing into your lame posts/replies. But I understand that working on that street corner probably keeps you really busy, what with you looking like such a little swishing sissy. Is your G500 john still your favorite or do you have a new fave?<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Right now my job is to make ur life hell. I actually like what u have to say...i'm laughing so (hard). Ur my most admired fan right now.

h2h8rA,
I actually enjoy getting slammed, as long as it's original,
But seriously,
Your Joke bag is EMPTY. Pick it up; reach around inside.....hmmmm..nothing in there huh?
In deference to your precious time let me reiterate your entire bag of tricks for you...
Small penis, small penis, man love, put something in someone’s butt, small penis, small penis. Oh, I almost forgot....we drive a brick.
Wooohooo....that was goooood! I truly feel like I have been put in my place and have absolutely no comeback!
Your intellect and ability to put others down is simply staggering.....I really don't think I can go on another day now that someone of your mental agility has shown me the light......;-)
Seriously man, more power to you if you wanna come in here and slam me for owning an H2, but damn it man have some dignity. Come up with something GOOD! Think outside the box, hit me with something that demonstrates you are smarter than your pet gerbil.
I honestly look forward to someone hitting me with something new, and intelligent, but you consistently come up short.......
These lame ass digs make me question if anyone really enforces the laws against inbreeding in this country. But, in no way has made me question the H2's ability. I know, you probably don't understand what that meant, lets just say you're clearly swimming in a shallow gene pool.....OK, you probably still can't understand that....How can I convey this in a manner you'll understand. "Uncle Dad" is not a term most people outside of your family would be familiar with.
My advice would be to stop using your big sisters AOL login until you're old enough, and intelligent enough, to log onto a computer without her help.
If I were you, first, I'd stop spending 12 hours a day pulling my pud to my moms Victoria’s Secret catalog, then I'd get some new friends, because they obviously are not teaching you the fine art of bagging on someone else.
Now log off, throw away your sisters password (and put her panties back where you found them) and SACK UP little boy. One day your testicles will descend, your voice will get squeaky, and you'll realize what a total tool you are.
If you simply MUST stick with the small penis, gay, and ass jokes then please, replenish the joke bag and at least come up with something new!

so i was checking out the video and i noticed that once your traction control system detected front wheel spin it kicked in the tire with traction, causing the tire to break the tie rod. Is there a way you could disable the traction control system and install ARB air lockers front and rear? Then you could control when and where the tires were locked in. The front end would last a whole lot longer and you could take the H2 way more places with less damage...

Being flipped off is become a normal occurance for me. Every time I see another SUV comming the other way, I get tunnel vision. After awhile, it gets easy!
Drty,
I do keep a handful of pennies though...just in case.

I almost forgot to respond for h2h8r.
Here, ya go man, so you don't have to spend the next 2 days coming up with what is sure to be a lame response, I'll come up with one to save you some time:
I have a small penis that I put in my own ass while driving my brick down the road.
I think that about covers your bag of tricks.
No go have your "Aunt Mom" tuck you into bed.

Unless it is traced back to you. It must be a very Unique virus to get you in trouble.
Besides Alec, It was ME who sent it. Don't take the credit  .
I'm in Canada....cum get me!

No no no no no.....Ron, don't be so hard on yourself!
In Alec's case it was heroic, stoic and brave....but your instance was entirely stupidity, neglect and carelessness.
TOTALLY KIDDING...
Hey....it happens. These things weigh some 3+ tons and have to use a lot of power to get them around. With barely being able to see more then 6 feet in front of you....it's tough to keep things in order.
What's important is that your alright, your rig will live to see another day...and that you buy the beers next time we meet!

The video of, i forget what his name was, breaking his axel/wheels while doing the rock crawling has made it to www.collegehumor.com. Under the wonderful caption of "Your Hummer isn't as tough as it looks." Also a few months ago they had the picture of that crash in Alaska with the caption, "Next time you see an H2, give it the finger" I hate this kind of negative press personaly, and I thought you guys might want to see it.

What you guys might look into is gear reduction box between the transmission and transfercase. By reduceing your overall crawl ratio you will get more control over wheel spin and the traction control can come in at a lower wheel spin. Momentum can be your friend or enemy. I wasn't saying Alec was a bad driver i was saying the TC system failed. It failed in the fact that it reconized wheel spin at too fast a speed. I think they use a vicous coupling system, and it takes a while to spin it up.
A front and rear locker set-up will change the whole truck. It makes the hardest trails look easy.
