I was not personally involved, but after a Bronco rolled a few times with full airbag deployment they disconnected the battery while airing up the tires. Then fired it right up. It landed back on the wheels so no clearing oil out of the cylinders. I did not see them do anything more mechanical.

If I recall correctly, all you have to do is try starting and shutting it down a few times. At that point it'll reset and let the engine start up. Something like three cycles? Don't know if a battery disconnect does the same thing, but it would be a logical thing to try if cycling the ignition doesn't work.
Ill be interested to see if he files for a patent as im assuming he invented them

It's probably the $14K Werewolf portals from Ukraine. If he ever sells them, they'll likely be marketed as a patent possibly pending product shipped from a 100% USA owned business, because buy american. Take some pics with a US flag sticker somewhere on it because patriotism and it covers up the made in Ukraine sticker, should sell like canned capitalism for $20K.

One thing to consider is vehicle weight. The curb weight on that 1999 Cherokee, having a nice showing in the video, is around 3,200lbs. Compared to the Bronco at around 5,000lbs. I like body on frame design as in the Bronco, but some of these newer vehicles could use a diet.
Trucking around nearly 2,000lbs extra is going to impact agility and stress on components. That Cherokee was able to rock a Dana 35 axle in part because it didn't have to support all those extra pounds.
Also regardless of any mods to the Bronco front suspension, the videos indicated the front end travel was lacking. There is only so much you can do with the IFS in that regard.
Not sure how he could possibly patent something 74weld has been making and selling for years, not to mention all the factory applications on other vehicles.
I have done that trail/obstacle several times. He didn't know the line and used way too much throttle. It is called rock crawling, not rock hopping. If he did it to show off, fine, if he did it because that is how he drives, he doesn't know how to drive an off road machine.

Not hating here, but not only does he drive like an inexperienced wheeler, the MT contributes to the lack of smoothness. Combine on the fly learning with a MT and not giving a sh!t and this is the result. I love MTs, but give me an AT on the rocks...
ETA: not claiming to be anything, but the EB in my avatar is on this obstacle and walked it...many times.

Well in the end, he has a channel, he has views, and I am sure he has enough to pay for the repairs. The way he rolled it on the soft top shows that the Bronco's are indeed Ford tuff! He could have gotten hurt easily in that roll. They flipped it over and he kept going! lol he kept doing the trail. I'll give him credit for that. using that Bronco, no matter the reason, he is pushing it way past what others may do.
All said, he could perhaps, tone it down. That flip was because he was trying to brute force that Bronco up.

Keep it in manual mode so you are in 2nd or 3rd gear when climbing. I'm seeing a ton of folks just "sending it" and that gets the front end hopping. You don't need a lot of wheel spin to get traction, that's a sign someone is too heavy on the pedel or isn't in 4L......

Keep in mind BB is running a MT. So I suspect he is riding the clutch to get those big 40s moving and dumping it too aggressively. It is much harder to control a rig with a MT on rocks/ledges - been there, done that. Autos are superior for this type of terrain (IMO).
