What caused those things to fail? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>Driver error, forgot to take foot off gas pedal

Sometimes things just break. I've seen diffs (front & rear) blow out, t-cases blow, and a whole bunch of other things break on H2's. But the same thing happens to any brand of vehicle when you push it to the limits.

The kind of stuff you see in the pics below is moderate and generally doesn't result in anything breaking;

Awesome photos! I'm probably not doing anything any more, if that, extreme any time soon. Are you being sarcastic about that stuff being moderate? Some of it seems pretty extreme to me. Maybe, I'm a pu$$y. I've seen the photo before on the top of the Devil's Den - Apr '05 link (also photos 7-10). How did that work? That wall seems a lot taller than the "16 inch vertical wall" which the H2 is rated for.
Seriously, you do stuff that eclipses the stuff in the photos? If so, no wonder you broke something. You're definitely pushing your rig to design limit and beyond, which I applaud. If you think I'm safe doing stuff like that stock. I feel pretty good. I would like to get stronger tie rods, but the one guy here I know said he wouldn't put them on because they hit the diff. He may be wrong, but I probably don't want to mess with the torsion bars too much to make them fit (though I did that on my Sierra just to get 285s on there).
