Watch This Bronco Blow Out Its 4WD System Attempting to Speed Through a Mud Pit

[calemasters]

He was going too fast and hit the hole too hard. He had poor judgement and failed the front differential.

Partially when he entered the mud puddle, and came to a full stop. The "Coup de Grace" was when he tried to floor it when trying to get through the mud. The front ring/pinion then blew.

An expensive lesson for that driver.

Deep sticky mud can stop almost any vehicle. I recall back in the 70s an M-60 tank at Camp LeJeune that was seriously stuck in the swampy mud that was all over that base. The recovery vehicle couldn't get to it until the ground dried out several days later.

This guy is a complete fricking moron. First for blazing into an unknown mud hole like that. Second for his behavior after like it was all ok.

He reminds me of American Jeeper and the Moab accident. Could have been prevented with a little common sense.

Bummer man! I don't wish that on anyone, Bronco driver or any other vehicle owner.

Posted an update, needs an entirely new diff because it is a sealed unit and not serviceable apparently.

Saw a tank in a rice paddy once. Actually, I saw a few feet of the elevated main gun sticking up above the water. Dunno if they ever did get it out.

He posted an update video. He blew the diff. Ring gear and spiders. Don't know which went first. It's not a serviceable diff. The whole diff needs to be replaced.

Quick update on broken bronco - YouTube

Perfect time to sling a Dynatrac U60 up under there and get rid of the IFS.

 

[Windshieldfarmer]

This is not an issue of solid axle vs IFS; it’s an issue of driver stupidity. Can’t fix stupid….

Perfect excuse to convince his wife that he needs a front locker

"it drives great in 2WD"

Another one bites the dust. It’s that damn mud I tell ya!

These Broncos have the moronovirus, highly contagious cockychump variant. They should have been wearing a mask.
