We really should start a thread about recovery - if this happens, you need to do this. Like when you break something that you don't have a spare part for - what do you have left (2WD, 3WD, brakes, etc)? what gear should you be in (can you leave it in low/high lock, D, or N)? Are there things you need to bring along for patches if you do remove anything to get you off the trail? Also just a good trouble shooting list of things to help isolate the problems, like both front or rear wheels spin, only one wheel spins, no wheels spin, and what might be the problem.

Dont know...talking out of my ass like usual.

When a traction control system gives you trouble, you can always pull the fuse.

Lisa - There are some field repair kits that have all the instructions, plugs, repair lines, etc... Problem is, you only need them once you've broken something & they're back at home in the tool box.

When I put mine in 4lo it's pretty common to see it come accross the display. It tells you that it is off.

I wonder if it knows or if it just "finds out" by trial and error.

Seth...From what I could tell Neo had 0 power to any wheels after the breakage occured. There was a loud pop and shaking of at least 3 of his wheels and then nothing. The rear driveshaft definately kept spinning, but I never checked the front personally.

Marine...All stock tie rods, but I think they were flukes. There was another contributing factor in their somewhere. Think maybe an overly soft suspension caused too much wheel hop.

could it be excess bling chrome is heavy just kidding Rox you know i love you after that night we spent together on the trail LMAO

Were the shocks worn out or was something else making the suspension too soft, if you know?
Though flukes, do you think the same anomalies would have resulted in breaking the FT rods had they been installed?

How about this picture of CO Hummer going down at Hell's Gate?

I heard that, in one instance, the DIC got so mad that it diverted exhaust into the cab, killed the owner, unlocked the diffs, and drove off on its own.

Okay not to be a bitch, no I'm a bitch...I thought this was about Pics and not so much about stuff I don't understand. Let's see more pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rox said she just had new Rod Hall shocks installed before the trip. She mentioned to me before we even did the trail that the she thought the shocks were way too soft. That might have been the problem with the first two breakages. But on the third it bent just as she was starting up a ledge where she wasn't hopping at all.

With space on the servers becoming an issue here at H2source.com I've placed the images I took while in Moab, on one of my websites.
