This happened to a friend of a friend of mine not too long ago:





His tie rod came apart while he was going 55mph and he lost control and rolled in a ditch. Im not exactly sure about the injuries he got from this accident, but what i am sure of is that he is lucky to still be alive. I know these pics made me go and check over my entire truck when i saw them. And you should too so you can prevent something as unfortunate as this from happening to you!

 

Just became a priority on this weekends to-do list.

 

I spy a body lift.
I'll blame that for why the body came off the frame.

Rednecks.

 

Ouch, note to self..check steering components and stop driving on train tracks. Got it.

 

Broke a tie rod, was going slow though. 25mph into the ditch
You bet I spent some time tightening everything after that
