I was very happy to see a (what appeared to be ) weighted winch line for safety purpose a snapped line under stress is a head remover, If so very impressive. I watch a lot of 4x4 vids this is the first I have seen with a weighted line.
No it would'nt ...I had a 95 ZJ with HS 9500 on an ARB bull bar It did no such thing ,but then again I also hear a v8 will twist an XJ cherokee in 2 ,but yet the 360 with 345lb/ft came in the 98 ZJ grand cherokee and has no stronger unibody and is designed the same as the ZJ ...And my XJ on 39.5 boggers sporting built 60/14 is doing fine holding them ...Old CJ'S have weak frames that crack easier than new unibodys ,but my unrails have ar500 on them now and will add a cage .
this happened to my uncle once. but he hit a peice of firewood in the road in 3 feet of snow and broke his tie rods his jimmy went for a ride thru a couple trees. =]:
same thing happend to my buddy in his blazer but my jeep didnt go up in the air like that cause i had everyone get in my jeep and had some people stand on the back bumper
Wicked job indeed, could have had taken lives by the looks of it!!! Superb video and a hell of a way to make new friends! There's just one thing I hate about 4runrs, they're too expensive on the used market.
So right dude, but i act got a steal on a 97 limited 4x4 with 68,000 mile for 4500. It was sitting for 5 years in storage. got it in feb. 3 and already put 2500miles on her and not a single problem it great. before when i was looking i could not find one 96-98 that was below 6500 and less than 150,000miles but i got the bargain of a lifetime
Bask in the glory my man of having found a cheap and steady one. My bro drove 4 years on a split 22re engine block, the bitch would not die. They're made like farm equipment! I've got a Sorento now, it doesn't pale in comparison, it just doesn't feel as Back-country-don't-care-where-you-drive-me-I'll-bring-you-back kinda deal, know what I mean?
@Bygsach lol i hear you. i beat the fuck out of my yota and finally tried to kill it by puttin a brick on the gas pedal in nuetral. 2 hours later all i lost was the rod bearings and it was starting to overheat. toyotas are tough as shit.
It was a brand-new 9000-lbs winch. The owner had his old one stolen while he was in Iraq, and was happy to put the new one to good use. He wasn't phased at all by the oil leak, it was going to give him something to do. I don't know about the hydraulic wich. Once they started pulling, I wasn't going to go back to the other side to see how the Chevy was doing, and you couldn't see the 4runner from there.
Welllll, Warn helped.. and melted. The other wench was hydraulic. Funny, when it started right up and assisted with backing up; everyone was willing to buy a 4Runner. I drove it down, and it was tracking straight, just making a lot of noise on left turns..
i live in colorado springs and wow that place has sides straight down. Looked like they slid off in the right spot.LUCKY!!

Was the 4runner a 2wd? and how did he run off the road?
TheCopilot91 3 years ago
4wd 4runner. The road was very slick mud, ice, and snowpack, and her tires were new, but not very good on this surface.

...should probably mention that paultalb didn't know the driver before the 4runner went over the edge. He just drove it to the paved road.

how much do u think that brushguard helped? Are they pretty strong, or just for looks?
fenderguitarist05 3 years ago
It didn't prevent any damage, the tree hit to the right of the support. But who knows, maybe it saved the frame.
paultalb 3 years ago 3
well I suppose it didn't hurt. It looks great btw. So, do you still have the 4Runner or did it cost to much to fix?
fenderguitarist05 3 years ago
Awesome job. The Warn did the job.
