Re: drove it home.....
haha...my buddy looked at it and asked what the nylon strap was for.....
i said, "thats just for affect..."
actually it was to keep the clamp from sliding. i dont think it did anything, but i was desperate..
Re: drove it home.....
an old lifted jeep with bigger tires on it walked up the rocks i was trying to climb when i busted the tie rod.
he was modded similar to me, lifted, bigger tires, but that was it.
he walked up it, i broke.
theres a lot to be said about the durability of a solid front axle....
makes me think.

yep.
Re: drove it home.....
haha...actually id like to get a convertible h1 next spring...ha. i know, no solid front axle, but damn i like it.
ill be looking for an 03-04 if all goes as planned.
in all honesty, for pure offroading, u cant beat the durability of the solid front axle. i know every vehicle has its weak points and all, but when u lift an h3 and put bigger tires on it, it stresses the front end components that much more. hit something too hard/fast and if ur lucky all u need is an alignment.
a bad thing abt the jk is that they are very crude/raw compared to the h3.
the level of refinement though greatly improved, isnt as good as the h3 for 95% of the time when u are ON road.
just my humble opinions.....
a lifted jk would be cool though...
