Default Tie Rod

Broke one of my tie rods on the H3 doing the Odessa trail out in Calico, Ca on Saturday night..It was the Calico clean up event that was gong on out there.... Ended up getting a long bolt to thread back into the lower end, cut of the head of the bolt and bent part overlaped the bolt to the straight piece of the tie road and had someone weld it up for me. It got me off the trail and back home... It's probably stronger now then the original tie rod set-up... They used two Peterbuilt truck batteries as a power source.. You could see the jumper cables jump everytime they started welding... Will post some pictures of the fix when I can...
