good reason to make sure your jeep is in good working order
just found this, looks like everyones fine but this backs up why i re-check my trackbar, front sway bar and other stuff religously..

I saw a still shot of this on NAXJA. If memory serves it was a Rusty's part that failed and caused this issue, or at least that was what was in the post.
First time seeing the video though.

Yep... the owner used parts that were WAY out of spec and got burnt because of it.
It was actually the TRE that failed. Who made that we don't know...

Keep in mind Rustys DOES NOT make the TRE. So to blame Rustys is a stretch. If you have a large amount of lift, and attempt to really flex it out a TRE will only pivot so far. So I kinda hold the owner somewhat to blame for even having a track bar with a TRE.
I bent the TRE on my Rusty's track bar first time out. I replaced it with his HD mount and track bar end. Problem solved.

Ok, just for the record, I was just joking about the no Rusty's parts for me. I don't currently have any Rusty's parts on my jeep, but as for just about everything i'm sure there's good parts and not-so-good parts
