Don't attempt this in a Maverick

[dalola]

@dalola did you catch the license plate on the TRX...
RUSIRIS = Are you serious?
Ironic much?

Can't imagine the pucker factor that driver had when he realized he was going over the edge.
Glad to hear he came out of it with non life altering injuries.

Can't imagine the technical rescue it took to get him and his dog out of the canyon.

Thanks for sharing!

Sharp eye, I missed that! Interesting karma there for sure!

Nuts. Totally nuts.

thank you for posting this. For way to long Jeep'ers have been S*^Tposting about the FS bronco. Turn around is fair play.

Imagine trying to explain to someone 150 years ago that this is the kind of stuff people would do for fun in the future.

And if IRC, SWB vehicles do better in the hot tub. Longer vehicles can just forget it.

the Bronco drives immeasurably better and the base 2.3 has more horsepower than any Jeep except the 392, which I believe is gone now isn't it?

Ignore any Jeeper who lives in ignorance of the facts. that's pretty easy.

I know the difference. They think the front end on the bronco is like a front end of a corolla. My brother and friend are jeepers. i used to be, but I would buy a FSB vs a wrangler any day of the week.

I don't get rock crawling at all. (EDIT) in fact, I had 2 free invites to the Bronco Off-Roadeo and I didn't use them. Entry is free, but travel and time off isn't. And I'm definitely not getting into crawling.

I started on dirtbikes at age 5, a Yamaha Y-Zinger 50cc with a centrifugal clutch single speed. I've ridden motocross, a lot of single and 2-track enduro, and for the past 15 years been an avid MTBer. I have ridden up and down gnarly singletrack. My MTB is relatively expensive, but the cost per hour of use is minuscule compared to my last dirtbike.

I can't fathom the interest in crawling, or how anyone can justify the cost because things eventually break. Roll a vehicle and if you don't have specialty off-road insurance, you're probably repairing or replacing it on your own dime.

What's even more interesting to me about crawling is that Jeepers - anyone in a passenger vehicle, really - hate side-by-sides and buggies. A good sxs setup for crawling isn't cheap, but it's cheaper than that heavily modified Gladiator, and no one is depending on the sxs to get to work on Monday. Still dumb.

Baja desert running, sand dunes, mudding, I get that. High chance of getting stuck in the mud, but low chance of totaling your rig.

Rock crawling is flashy. It like being a model and getting up and posing. But for dudes and their rides. Nothing wrong with it exactly. However mudding, hill climbs, and tight trail navigating is much more taint tickling.

I prefer long distance back country travel. packing up for a week and just go explore.

Hell I've seen a video of a Crown Vic doing the same.

Also fun, a task more suited for a modern vehicle. Why have reliability if you dont test it.

I've seen a crown vic winch down a cliff.... on top gear!

This is why we have "Do not drink" on shampoo bottles.

Or do not eat wrapper on subway sandwiches. ha ha. The dumbification is staggering.

I don't get the rock crawlers either. I've got a Bronco Wildtrak and I love going off road in it or driving on the beach but rock crawling, not a chance. I'm in the Bronco forum and read the stories of these guys bashing and breaking their Broncos all for the sake of climbing over some rocks. I didn't spend $62k to bash and break my Bronco. That's one of the reason's I would never buy a used Bronco or Jeep, especially one that has been modified because god knows where it has been and what it has suffered.

Really? There's a notice to not eat the wrapper on Subway's sandwiches? Been a while since I had one. If so, this is mind-blowing.

Poor Jeeps. Here is a fully open diff'ed Subaru Crosstrek doing the exact same obstacle the gladiator S*&T its axle on.
