Watch this Bronco recovery and the damage the owner did to his Bronco

[Raptor911]

maybe. throttle control would have not increased departure angle

BUT def too much throttle caused a significant amount of damage

Proper throttle control would have caused zero damage.

His wife has every right to be pissed! Dude needs to realize his gas pedal is more than an on/off switch.

YOU SAID SKINNY PEDAL RIGHT???

 

[ByrdDogX]

In my opinion off-roading is just as much about finesse as it is anything.

You will break a lot more gassing something than you would being light on the pedal.

I also think people confuse the phrase 'bumping it' and 'sending it'. 'Sending it' is always a last resort from my view.

Can’t say that doesn’t make me smile a little. Idiot.

Wait a damn minute were they talking about the "weak" links as in the tie rods at the end of the video?

This has to be what the people at my off roadeo with zero off-roading experience outside of that must sound like.

Except the guy said everything looked normal under there and that it was just really badly misadjusted.

You can carry a spare, just let all the air out so it flexes super easy if you hit something..and of course carry something to inflate it if needed.

Departure angle was increased by trying to jump the ditch. Unsuccessfully.

I go out to 5 Mile Pass (the area in the video) a couple times a month, but I stick to trails and typically bring other vehicles along... I hope I don't get run over by this guy, and that he mellows out while off-road.
Send him on Rattlesnake (at 5 Mile Pass) and see if he finishes the trail or needs another recovery.
If he doesn't need recovery, maybe this was a fluke.

Give it more beans! What could go wrong?

 

[Nobody]

I get that everyone has to start somewhere, but damn, what an idiot.

 

[Jr87mustang]

I thought this was a BroncBuster video for a second. Wreck It Ralph for sure.

True, how far the throttle is pressed will not increase departure angle. The kinetic energy will decrease the departure angle due to compression of the suspension from bouncing around. Think uncle bucks car from the movie

Note to self, remove spare tire and put it in cargo area before going wheeling
