Default Bronco II Death *VIDEO*

Here is a Video of my old woods truck in it's final moments. I bought this truck in 2001 for $400. It was my daily driver for 6 years and then became my woods only truck. The day this was recorded I was out wheeling and the truck lost oil pressure , then decided to get really hot and blow the rad wide open. I figured it didn't owe me a thing and it deserved a proper death. Besides I have a Dodge to pour any spare money into...and it is very excepting . Enjoy!

I did something similar to my old subaru wagon. It puked the radiator one day and a while after that I filled it with water and replaced a blown fuseable link with a solid wire then fired it up and went hopping around the yard and that was the last time it ran before heading to the scrap yard. I only murdered a few small tree's that day (less than 5" in diameter). That car was only 75$ and rusted all to pieces so it wasn't really worth fixing.

LOL, my thoughts exactly. This vid should be in the how NOT to pull a vehicle out of a snow bank section.

The Bronco Got the tires and wheels stripped off and then sent to the scrap yard. As for the Dakota...you would be very surprised at the abuse that truck has taken. Pulling on the Bronco II with an elastic band is being very gentle on it . I never use Chains and no longer use straps. I now have a 2" Bunt rope that works amazing.

Yeah, not good to promote stuff like this. Someone can very easily get seriously hurt or killed pulling a truck out like that.

With both people in the vehicles and no hooks attached to the rope then it shouldn't hurt anything if it does snap. As long as the rope is hooked up to a shackle that is on a solid mount or a solid tow hook then it would all be good.
