Bronco rollover on Sand Hollow Trail, but starts and runs fine!

[BroncoWTFAN]

Sad to see!

But it still starts up just fine and runs

No tow needed out on her own power.

Wonder if the owner is on the forum, would love the story behind this.

That's kind of the point of a spare tire.... I'm not sure why the owner couldn't have just driven out themselves.

Most likely did not have a jack to handle the change, or the tools? The Jack that comes with our Bronco's are stressed on a concrete flat surface, let alone sand.

A good lesson to always test your equipment in the conditions in which they will be used BEFORE you actually need it.

I think they went to be checked out? They didn't need the spare, just needed air.

That poor bronco... The headlights had a sad look to them going up on the rollback, as opposed to the angry Jeep look. It needs some love.

Is anyone able to identify his front bumper?

Was it abandoned and left for recovery?

Huh, I expected this to be that BroncBuster guy at it again.

 

[Patrickgault]

Sucks to see forsure. At least it has thinking about a spare gas can mount. Any recommendations for a good mount?

Sand Hollow is tough on vehicles

 

[Headsong]

That's totalled.
See ya 50k, probably won't get insurance.

Was it Bronc Buster again?

So weird that the owner wouldn’t even try to crank, even more if they didn’t have a compressor out there on that trail.

Recoveries are so expensive that being able to drive at least to the trailhead for a simple tow would save hundreds.

Also not sure why anyone thinks this is totaled. If mostly cosmetic and some suspension parts, may not be so bad; would take a while, but that Bronco may be saved.

PSA, be extra careful (slow) on shelf roads or going up or coming down a tiered rock wall. Spotters are highly recommended when things may get tippy and if you’re on a tippy line, back up and slide over a bit.

In many cases, blown airbags = totalled. Cost comes into play too. Looks like most of the sheetmetal is damaged.

I agree on the spotter, sadly most of them aren't any more skilled than the drivers. I cannot count the number of times I've witnessed disasters WITH a spotter. I gave up on using a spotter years ago...like, 15 years ago
