Yeah that guy was modding that LiteBrite chicks (blonde in video) and her husbands Bronco as well as their 392 JL. I have seen one of their videos where some guy takes out his ball joint and lower A-arm on his bronco on 37s just going up rock hill. Steering and lower ball joint, and A-arms on the Bronco are a very weak point.

Well...the bronco was designed with fenders that unbolt easily so, there's that.

Yes
I cannot see the original video?
Yeah me too. Privacy Badger blocks this video due to tracking codes. It's a shame, because it sounds interesting.

Man that's hard to watch hopefully the guy is okay! Always scared of something like this when going off roading
I almost rolled my JKU climbing a rock, I got to much on the throttle and it popped straight back and titles to the passenger side. Only thing that kept me from going down about a 70ft drop was it rested against a tree. It mess my side step up and passenger fender but nothing else. It was definitely scary though and I hadn't had the jeep but 6 months and only thing that went through my mind was how the heck am I going to explain to my wife how I totalled my brand new jeep that I still had 6 years to pay on. Who knows how the insurance would have handled it. Thank God the tree was there

Man that sounds like a close call! Thank God you are okay and sounds like the damage wasn't too bad! Definitely anything is better than completely totaling the Jeep!
