the guy just didnt know what he was doing and i think the guide should have pulled the plug on this guy b4 it was too late. anyways you see a front end go from working to dead in about 5 seconds. heres the link

That is a funny video. Your girlfriend sounds hot ;-).
What was the big deal with the obstacle anyway - besides the crappy factory tires and idiot driver I don't see why it would be so difficult.

i blame the guy telling the guy what to do . it was a hummer happening, and the guy had no offroad experience in a base model with no locker. like someone else posted, he had the front end stuffed and cranked and just gunned it. thats the recipe for disaster. if you have the wheels turned and apply too much force you can do damage.

Damn! Watching that pisses me off.

Rank amateur, bad spotting, and weak ass diff, whole thing is stinking embarrassing.

Hummer..........put the right equipment in the vehicle for the ability you claim is there!

A better driver, a better spotter....maybe, but that kind of, and that much damage over that small of an obstacle.......unacceptable.

Many of those that buy these rigs don't know what they are doing anymore than this guy. Damn thing broke WAY too easy.

I am careful and have babysat my rig over much more difficult obstacles than that.......but seeing how easy that broke....pisses me off!

The reason I haven't already upgraded my front axle housing is the rumor that something bigger might be coming.......I'll do it then, and there really is no "top end" performance to lose on the H3, so two locked 4.88's would be a winner in my book.

A damn engaged rear locker might have saved that guys front diff too. He wasn't getting much help from the rear axle and that's obviously not good in a climbing H3!

This video makes me feel lucky I haven't taken mine out yet. They are weaker than I even thought they were.
