Same here. I see it at the drag strip all the time. People thrashing on and breaking brand new cars like they are nothing. That's why I took a $500 fox body and put my drivetrain in it. I built it to beat on and I'm not out much if it breaks.

Yea, I didn't see it as that bad. Intentions were to go have a little fun, made a couple of wrong moves, got in a bind, probably mixed that with some panic/stubbornness, and wa-la, you've got some beat up sheet metal. Been there before

I don't see that as any different than lift kits, stacks, fancy wheels, etc. To each his own.

X2 on the tow strap. Hook a tow strap to the drivers rear corner and yank it out in reverse before it gets worse. Might need to tandem a couple of trucks together to get her out. The driver reminded me of the Bro Ho's we have in Southern Calif that have more money then brains. I have seen some stupid stuff in our local desert areas.

Well, that will be talked about around a campfire and a few beers for years to come!!! It may take a few before the sting wears off.

One of the first pics was a winch cable attached to the front. All they had to do was put the truck in neutral and winch it forward. My guess they tried with and 8500 pound winch. Since that jeep was 10 ft from him the winch was rated closer to three and couldn't pull the truck. Should have unspooled the max cable length. For that matter should of used a ****** block and doubled the winch capacity.

About 5 spots in the video, would have been good to stop and think about what to do, before, making it worse, worser, much worse, really bad, then freedom, with some body work that'll need more than buffing.
