Can't see it in the photo but the half shaft is snapped too so once I got the tie rod part I needed I had to go back through the gnarly mud hole in 2wd. Fun day lol!

To be honest, I'm not sure of the actual cause but I think I stretched the tie rod winching myself and others out of a big mud hole and then when I began ascending a steep hill with big rocks a little more stress was put on it causing the tierod to snap. Looking at it I think the half shaft snapped before the tierod did?

It does suck lol. I at least got the tierod replaced before attempting to ride out, couldn't imagine trying to do it with the wheels doing whatever they wanted too lol
