I would care about a Bronco.
There was a newer Bronco that flipped on Hell’s a revenge while we were there. It wasn’t even an obstacle. The driver didn’t see a hole and his passenger rear fell into it and flopped on its side. It wasn’t that big a deal, but the airbags deployed and both passengers were bloody and had broken arms. The Bronco was badly damaged.
We put a strap on at Rocker Knocker to avoid that angle rollover.
Those new broncos, everyone thinks they are great because they complete stuff. Yes, they complete obstacles through the power of big tires and lockers. But every time it a super sketchy 3 wheel tilt and drop with huge momentum shifts etc. I think we will see flipped new broncos become very common.
I have a bunch more photos to go through but I know everyone will want these.
Just watched the whole video and that is certifiably insane. The XJ on 33s absolutely kicked the ass of that JK and Bronco on 40s.
I’m amazed how that’s possible with just a regular Rubicon Express 6.5” lift and 33s.
The same obstacles where the other rigs were bouncing all over the place, the XJ just crawled right up them with no negative suspension characteristics I could see. No midarm or shock outboard, just plain old leaf springs.
for once something actually comes off steep.
The pictures make me think back to going up it, was it that steep?
It was steep but the front end felt really planted. I wasn't concerned at all on the way up.
Lies, thing was nuts! That bump near the top was sketchy. Maybe it was because I was going slow in first gear.
