there i was ...... pulling a H3 out of the mud ( YES!!!!) when i made a noobie mistake (because i am still a noobie) and ripped part of my frame by crushing it with the tow strap.
i wrapped the strap once around the back bumper and "back frame" then hooked into the side of the "side"frame. the tightening of the strap made two 1 1/2 rips. top and bottom of the " back frame"( the piece of frame connecting the two side frame members, the bumper bolts to it on a TJ.)
ill post some pics later.
If someone near waltham has a welder and wants to help that would be smurfy.
im the newest member of the H3 recovery team

I got a welder in wakefield.
depending on the amount of damage, you might need to fish plate the tears/cracks
and yes, I need to see this!

why wouldn't you help him out? is it that blackwhyjay is geigh and he and his friends have decided that hummers are dumb? yea, i think so! i would help out any vehicle if i could. i think you did the right thing in helping out another person who was in need. but thats just me. and ask anyone i am a jerk!  |

saw the pics, wooh hooh. way to beat it trav... But it can be somewhat easily fixed from what I saw in the pics, Not overly farmiliar with TJ's but probably gonna have to pull the Gas tank out, and lift the body up off the frame a couple inches.

oh ya, What glue were you sniffing?
A rear crossmember is not suitable tow point, ten thousand lashings for you!
Regardless, we'll get you fixed up.
