You put 80k into a Jeep YJ.... woah.
I've owned one and taken it offroad, its an awesome machine. But I'm an experienced driver and know when to lock a diff, when to shift to low transfer, when to use engine braking, how to use the brakes to lock a spinning wheel and transfer power to the other wheels, and other things you should know before doing what he did.

You guys say weak machine. I say inexperienced driver.

I dont know of any tie rod made that could take that much torque put on it at one time when that wheel suddenly gained traction and stopped spinning.
