So, I had no option but to wrap tow strap around my front steering arm or whatever its called and I got pulled out. My tires are now both trying to look at each other now, the 1 to 2 inch bar i attached to is bent. If someone could post a pic of the front i could say which bar it is. Just wondering what all would need to be replaced and dont want the shop charging me to much extra. Cant take a pic. its in a shop. Had to take it in, no time these days... Thanks, Kyle.

Edit: I forgot to mention its a 1990 4x4 5-speed 4.0l...

 

Im guessing you mean the tie rod?

 

Sounds like the tie rod bar. What would need to be replaced? Well the bar is definitely one for starters. Then the tie rods. Maybe even the drag link if it got bent in the pull.

 

Good job, kid. Your award is in the mail...

 

Funny.

 

Here, btw...

 

Intended to be so!! Hope Kyle thinks it is!!

 

Heck, you gave him an excellent photo to boot. He should be ecstatic.

 

Might want to replace it with a tie rod from a ZJ. That should make a much better recovery point

 

That's it. "I don't need no stinkin' towhooks. I've got the ZJ tie-rod!!!" LOL

 

TY. Not my pic, 4x4xplor gets the credit.

 

The axle tube was right there and you chose to wrap it around the skinny tie rod...

 

I just stole it from you!!! It will go to good use.

 

Haha- I hear that, such a helpful reference. There's a bookmark to it in safari and a photo saved in pictures on my phone...

 

I couldn't get to the axle, it was to far back and the mud was up to my doors... mine looks a bit different, it has a tube that comes forward on both ends and sticks out 2 inches away from original spot with the bend coming towards front bumper, then it has another bar attached to it that goes up like the drag link does. i think i hooked it up to the drag link lol. also, i could only access the under body from passenger side front tire opening...

Edit: oh and thanks for the pic, it is awesome.
