How high/far would you safely jump?

This white boy can't jump, and neither will my Bronco.

Will have to check out the link...lol. Some friends and I took a road trip to visit a GF of one guy and there was this dead 4 door and we took out the rental car battery and got the clunker running. We all piled in and hit the gravel. One buddy took his gen 1 lightning and hit the jump...dead flat thru the air and landed on the tabletop got about 3ft off the ground. We took the hooptie and jumped it a few times and the last time we shot over the table top and hit the down ramp hitting the gas tank. We put the clunker back and put the battery back in the rental and jumped the rental...ended up cracking the windshield after a few attempts.

Fun times

The best of times ?lifelong memories.

It's not the jump that you have to worry about - it's the landing.

You belly flop or lawn dart from just about any height at speed and you're not gonna have a good time.

I’m going to link to this post every time someone says they are waiting a year or two to buy a used Bronco.

I'm impatient ?

What was your takeoff speed in those photos?

Gently if any, or straight into Orbit.
Honestly, for the $, I'll play it safe on jumps and do more low-speed trail riding, sandy beach driving, and test the limits on some mud more than I should.

That truck is still on the road with a new frame

A real truck of Theseus.

No jumping my Bronco. At age 64, jumping is a thing I did in the distant past I still do some jumps on my mountain bike. Documented 1 inch of air
