Show truck. A real off roader wouldn't have kept stock suspension. Also,wtf is that cargo pod doing where the lights go? No offense to that guy, but he's out of his league with that jeep in that location. I think sum dood bought some accessories to impress the ladies and his ego.
What I want to know is, how can these "enthusiasts" AFFORD to tear up 50K vehicles all the live long day??? I guess I'm giving away my age but it just freaks me out seeing 20 somethings trashing vehicles nilly willy that cost three times more than my first HOUSE. What am I doing wrong?
Guess you haven't watched any youtube channels where these guys/gals trash brand new vehicles just for the views and clicks. They make a certain amount per view, plus they get paid by the advertisers that insert ads into the video. Many of them also sell merch(andise). Some of them don't trash the vehicles, but mod them, then for every dollar worth of merch you buy, you get one entry into a contest to win it. Some channels do similar with weapons. Run them til the barrel/can melts. Make more from the views than it cost for whatever they trash.
He sure does have a winch (makes him look all big and butch) but it's mounted on the front fender. Getting the cable under the belly and through the gap between the rock and the belly will be an interesting problem.
YouTube sensation Down2Mob earns a great living showing folks his 2021 Jeep Gladiator... and all the after-market kit he uses to reinforce the stock parts.
Then, a couple weeks ago at King Of The Hammers, his front axle-housing broke while he was casually traveling a gravel road. From his videos, I think all the after-market kit is over-built. Everything held together nicely.
Reminds me of the one I found upside down on a trail outside Crested Butte, last summer. It hadn't been there for long. In fact, I jumped out of my truck to make sure nobody was inside it. Nobody was there. I got pictures, though. It probably had a good $30k in mods. Funny thing was that it was the easiest part of that trail. Anywhere before or after was much more difficult. I figure the driver probably got cocky because it was the easy part, didn't pay attention and went high on the bank and flipped. The Jeep looked like it would be drivable once it got flipped back over, but they would have to winch it out from between the trees it was between before it could be turned back over.
A man would know how to use that jack to get it out, this guy probably just carries it for show.

That's what they've always said about 4-WD:
ReplyDelete"The better you can go, the better you can get stuck."
That one is stuck pretty good.

"4-wheel drive just gets you stuck in more interesting places."

ReplyDelete"We can winch it out...never mind"
ReplyDeleteAnon: That was my first thought. Hey, you got a winch, don't you?

Call Matt's off road recovery. He'll winch it out for about $500 bucks. $750 if it's Sunday.

The factory axle-housing appears to be constructed of some form of wishful thinking mixed with Silly Putty© and year-old cottage-cheese.
