Unknown. It wasn't on a particularly stressful part of the trail. We think, that the part that failed stress fractured when he got it buried in some loose sand. Then, it just failed a few minutes later in the woods. It's either that or some metal defect finally appeared at that time.
Love the videos on the Jeep. I’m a new used ‘97 2.5L owner so this has given me some confidence. Did you spend most of the day in 4 wheel drive between 4lo and 4hi?
You should have tons of confidence in your Jeep! I spent most of the day in either 2hi or 4lo. I don't find much use for 4hi. I find that if I need the power to the front wheels, I generally need the added control offered by low range. But, every situation is different and I do use it sometimes.
@@ToledoCars NICE! I moved to NWI this year and am about 1-1/2 hrs away so i am gonna get down there to play in next couple weeks before winter sets in!
Man! What a day!
It was a long one for sure. Still fun though! 😄
Try Haspin acres Brookville In
Thanks for the tip. It's on the list for the future, but might not be this summer.
Thanks for the compliment on the old bronco in the beginning of the video.
Of course! That Bronco is a cool rig for sure!
What caused the initial break?

@@ToledoCars ahh okay. Didn’t really look like a trail that would break anything. Then again, I don’t know what’s normal

Did you all drive your off road rig 4hrs and then back or did you tow?
Drove it down and back.
