Looks like he ripped off at least a few control arm mounts.

From the slowmotion it lookls like the jeep was broke before the pull.

Looks like he may have hooked onto the axle instead of the frame. As Eric said, appears the hub or something broke before the tow.

1: something was already broken

2: they yanked it by the track bar?

Looks to me like they hooked up to the drag link. First, this caused the massive toe-in, until it bottomed out the knuckles, then it pulled the whole axle, unseating springs and ripping control arms maybe.

Well, you knew what was coming as soon as you heard the tow vehicle reving up. That's why I generally turn down help like that when it's offered.
