That's no baby bronco, that's a bucking bronco.

I feel quite bad for the owner, that's a lot of money in damages there.

I'm sure many of these Bronco owners are like us Jeep owners, overextended on payments for everything and insurance typically doesn't cover off-road mayhem like this - not even all state.

Omg… I watched that several times… dudes name is txbroncobuster… yep ya broke your bronco. He let of the gas and that’s all she wrote. When I started hearing the horn all I can think of is the guys hands in the steering wheel, I hope he’s okay… definitely not a fun day after that.

This dude makes parts to fix the weak steering rack in the bronco. Looks like he has at least a couple broncos.

I read that he claims the engine died. And that the horn was a result of the alarm activating. Trying to back down a steep hill is no fun at all.

Sucks for sure but I've saw it happen to Jeep's, Toyota's, and other vehicles as well. I'm wondering where his spotter was because he took that line pretty fast and he was all over the place because of it. When the rear started bouncing it was over.

The guy has a YouTube channel. He makes parts to fix the bronco weak points but is fairly inexperiencedn offroad. He is a big proponent of when in doubt throttle out and pretty much breaks or destroys something every outing. Maybe flopping it might convince him to be a little less reckless as he drives those broncos as if they're disposable

That sucks. Easily could have been the same with a 2 door Wrangler.
