Has Ford run a 2-door Bronco through Mickey's Hot Tub @ Moab?

There's a video where several Broncos did the deed but they were all 4-doors.

Haven’t seen it only the 4-door. Short wheelbase doing that seems like a good way to end up on your roof. I’m sure a bunch of other 2dr vehicles have done it, but I’m just speculating that’s a reason the bronco crew did not

They probably don't have spare 2dr hard tops to even try it.

Hundreds of 66-77 broncos have been through it over the years and they're an 8" shorter wheelbase than the 21' two door.. Here's one way lifted even. Just have to know when and when not to use the brake pedal lol.

Not sure why that is considered fun.
Same could be said for anything other than that lol. Fun can be different for everyone thank goodness.

I get the "sense of accomplishment" part of it. I'm no stranger to off road sports; I was riding dirt bikes at the age of 13 (and two replaced knees at age 52 to show for it ;)), but that just doesn't look fun.

Yes, it's a balance. Too much throttle and you're hanging from your seatbelt. With the right amount of patience and finesse, he's through.

For sure, I was just speculating as to why they didn’t do that obstacle with the 2-door. They just went with the safer bet for that obstacle so not to risk a PR nightmare...but then they chose Webasto so I can’t speculate too
Much on their decision making haha

Not sure why that is considered fun.
Probably has to do with the fact that any normal vehicle would be doomed going into that hole.
Being able to purposely drive into and out of it is the thrill.
Same could be said about people with RWD cars that love to drift or do donuts for fun.
