Ok, I've seen the videos an H2 crashing onto some rocks and SNAP goes the tie rod. Read HMR, they said to always carry a spare, weak link, blah blah, but again the description was going over some rocks. Smash my H3 around all the time, never any trouble. Had to bring my brother back to Gilmer, Tx to pick up his FJ that broke down the week before out there. Decided to take a couple of moderate dirt trails in the 2. The video and pics are what followed. If anyone asks me, the tie rods
have to be replaced before going off road. Phil was great getting a pair sent overnight. I probably have bothered him too much since, but he's a wealth of knowledge. Love the Fabtech ones so far. They really look solid on the H2. I don't expect the same simple breakage from these.....Anyway, here's my poor video and yes OnStar saved my a**. The dealership also installed the Fabtech Tie rods at N/C. Great Hummer service.:
