I bought my '69 Bronco in 1981 when I graduated high school and it is still one of my regular drivers, I think I'll stick with it.
sounds like you might have it just about broke in then!
69 is always the best
Yeah everywhere you go you get stuck in it
YEAH BECAUSE THAT 69 PROBABLY GOT A V8 AND THE GEARS NOT TO MENTION YOU GOT REAL FOUR WHEEL DRIVE SOLID AXLES. WHICH BY THE WAY IS LIGHT YEARS BETTER 😅
I bought my 1969 in 1984 and I still have it.
Ahh yes.....new "offroad" vehicles....they're riddled with plastic, sometimes a sheet metal bumper,electronics and no real tow points. Ill stick with my 82 k5 thanks.
Absolutely! I feel the same way about my '90 K5.

" FORD has a better idea" ... LoL
That's modern fuel efficiency and crash standards requirements for you.
That said, there's very few stock vehicles that would survive those hills anyway.
Weird. I've owned roughly a dozen K5's and not one of them had factory recovery points like every new Jeep and Bronco comes with from the factory.
Not to mention any one of my Jeeps will out wheel any K5 I ever owned or built. Even the ones with big blocks, one ton axles, etc...
It really is cool that Abbey hangs out with you on the trails. She's a good daughter.
Love seeing Abbey getting straight into it, not afraid to get her hands dirty. She will end up a being a skilled and valuable partner for your business.
That's his grand daughter isn't she?
@@seananon4893daughter
My daughter hung out a lot with me in her youth through teen years. She knows basic car maintenance, brake replacement, siding, roofing, etc. These skills will serve her well through life.
That is a Good Daughter!! Very impressive!!!
It's refreshing to see the younguns willing to get their hands dirty. Good on ya Abby and good on you dad.
We had one in the shop a few weeks back, impact on the RR tire, didn't even damage the rim. Bent the rear axle housing and the Panhard bar. You could SEE the camber on the RR wheel due to the bent axle housing, and the whole axle assembly was displaced an inch and a half to the left due to the pretzeled Panhard bar. Plus, the immense inertia of the huge beadlock wheel/tire combo hanging on the rear gate bent the body shell where the gate hinges attach. Offroad vehicle, eh? Nah, just a lookit-me!!! mall-crawler.
It not a Hummer dummy..and the Jeep is no better
@@chadhaire1711 What's a "Hummer dummy"? Offroad much, do ya? Lotsa the old stuff WAS competent to go in the woods. Better steel, and more of it where it matters.
look in the mirror
@@chadhaire1711 You're very special.
Hey Eric,
Miss Abby seems to be right at home at the back of that wrecker.
Won't be long before she is wheelin Mom and Dad's wreckers.
Just love how many people jumps in and gives directions....
Like a pizza with no cheese that bronco driver is 😂
Yeah and none of them pick up a shovel !!!!
I trust a straight axle over this any day .
Ever see what a Humvee can do?
@@RMosher11 I have not to be honest but compared to this? Might be a different story
Explain why a Hummer can off-road as good as a Jeep any day without a straight axle? Only situations that stop a Hummer h3 or H1 from going where a Jeep can go is width. Jeeps are nice and skinny, Hummers tend to be wide. Years of living in Moab taught me that fact!
@@f5fstop do you have a Hummer?
Yeah me either still pick a Jeep little Jeep for 3,000$ over a hummer can they go better yeah probably where you are from but not in Kentucky you need a skinny short vehicle to drive through all the trees, stick with my answer, sure if you wanna pay more for independent front suspension go for it but why?
@@RMosher11 Its almost like an overbuilt military application is different than whats made for mass consumption on the civilian market.
My whole life I've wanted a 72 Bronco after having so much fun as a kid riding around with some long gone friends in one.
9:25 She is turning that wheel like its gonna do something. That will be a clock spring on top of the broken steering shaft
she's got zero idea how completely fvcked and warranty voided that vehicle is now xD
Eric you have a daughter like my oldest! She was always with me, on the motorcycle, in the shop, out on recovery adventures! She'll be 36 this year, and had worked as a millright for the last 12 years!
I wouldn't worry about the bumper too much, this will be a reoccurring issue..
Mercy, chains on a front bumper, whats wrong with you. I would think you would know better.
You need to get Bronc busters tie rod trail fix
Eric when you get Mara's tow truck finished Abby is going to want a off-road wrecker or buggy as always you guys are awesome
I've seen several videos showing the pitiful design of the Bronco's front suspension. There is even a trail repair kit I've seen on one for the tiny tie rods. If you have the money to buy this overpriced toy, spend enough to upgrade before you go off the pavement. You have a great apprentice working with you. Go Abby!
There are aftermarket parts that make a Bronco very capable but off the assembly line, engineers weren’t designing them to actually go serious off-road.
They're still a light duty SUV under the cool looking body. Really only made for very mild offroading from the factory. Even with the special packages that come with the bigger tires and such.
I don't get the number of people that spend $50k on an SUV to turn around and spend another $20K modifying it to almost be good offroad. It's like the side by sides people dump crazy money into for them to still break all the time. For the money spent could just end up with an offroad buggy or a much more purpose built rig.
Everything is so overpriced now.A rubicon shouldn’t cost 60k or
the 392 version for 90+k.Most any new 4x4 is 60k now. Just ridiculous.
Its the crappy tie rod they use, its the width of a tooth pick
Ok so yes the bronco break tie rods, but that being said I am yet to see one broken on a stock setup, Sasquatch or not, Basically if you are going to change the geometry you need to upgrade the tie rods, Also starting with the 24's the Sasquatch package come with the hoss 3.0 steering and tie rods
Say what you will about Gene, he DOES have a sense of humor. A Jeep owner, on a first name basis with his service manager at the dealer, ragging on a Bronco owner about reliability. Priceless!
Isn't it illegal to have people in a towed vehicle?? Talk liability!
The older jks have proven themselves to be alright, they still have shitty steering you have to change. The new jl and broncos have way more issues
@@guyfawkesuThe1 On a public Road Yes... Off Road, anything goes....
all offroad vehicles will have parts break, when used in extreme conditions like an offroad park.
that's why people beef up their vehicles to handle those situations, plus to replace the weak parts that the federal government forces auto makers to use to meet the MPG requirements. but a stock IFS vehicle should know their limitations. they are not a Jeep.
Eric you are good at what you do and make it look easy. I always enjoy your videos
Awesome recovery for helping that lady out
this bronco needs the bronco buster tie rods supports that help reinforce the stock parts and would have allowed for the bronco to drive itself out once it was pulled off the obstacle
or leave it on the blacktop where it belongs
@@joeblow123
Good advice, agreed. 💯%
Nice job getting the Bronco back to the campground. Hope she can get it fixed soon and can get back to the trails!
They have a known steering weakness. You need to upgrade them before they break. But once you fix that it's OK. Won't break again.
They had it back on the trail on Sunday.
Typical, new bronco owners don't realize all they purchased was an image. Then take it off road and worry about a scratched bumper....
It seems to be true for the raptor also. Both vehicles are very good looking, But they seem to be very gimmicky. The raptor comes with upgraded off road suspension, But in order to be a capable off road vehicle you have to upgrade the suspension. 😂 That being said a stock raptor would have more suspension than I would ever use.
RIGHT 😅
Not all.
"THE" Wrecker is a beast.
I used to run them old sling type wreckers. This guy should have 2x4s and 4x4 lengths of wood to use under the front to keep the chains and pivot bar off the towed vehicle. I towed 60s Camaros and mustangs this way no problem.
They need to get a set of the bronc buster tie rod stiffeners ,from what I've seen they work well.
crazy i use to watch this channel back in 09 loll high school days
That's one where the rubber straps would be nice to have on the sling!, Crap I even have a sling I carry on the old L-800, Holmes are my favorite tools!!
You have to remember that Eric volunteers his wrecker and his time . If you’re going off roading with plastic bumpers you won’t get the lot bandits coming to rescue you.
That girl is her fathers shadow that’s beautiful you see him you see her the way it should be two amazing people working hard always god bless
Always great seeing yous help other's, looked a beautiful day, hope you all had a great time, thanks for sharing, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Really apprecited that little girl,she is so enthusiastic with doing these works.💪💪well done.
A lot of off road vehicles are built or modded. Stock anything is good for soft roading. That is just as true today as it was decades ago.
It's great to see the young lady helping you out.
Matts Off Road Recovery is waving. 😁😁✌️
I don’t know how Frond made the Bronco so weak. They made the Raptors for years. The off road experience was there
I understand that there's an aftermarket kit to beef up the Bronco tie rods.
Love watching you man your a great man, and you're the first that started this, and now look, thank you for everything you do and for you and your family. Hard work, amazing people
"Shoulda hired one of the Griner brothers to drive that Bronco down to Aintry"
Hope you had a good Fathers day Eric.
Not one of them had a shovel and some wood planks with grip tape for under the tires. You can even use a small loading ramps from harbor freight. Rookies
Awesome recovery Eric and yet another amazing video once again buddy!!! Remember keep up all the hard work buddy!!!!
If you go off roading on rough trails bring 1 or 2 high lift Jack, a shovel, and a come along. Along with a few 20 foot strong straps and a 100 foot rope. Self recovery takes longer when you really dig yourself deep stuck.
It’s easy and quicker when you don’t dig your tires so deep…
Bring those items and you won’t need to call a recovery truck.
Why don't you guys work on Mira's Wrecker? Abby is becoming a very experienced wrecker helper. Guess she'll be the next to want her own wrecker!!!!!!!!!
Where are the big rubber mats for the chains?
Another great job.....you guys rock!!🎉
I used to drive an old ‘78 Chev tow truck with a Holmes 440 tow body on it. It had wide reinforced rubber pads to cushion where the chains are coming into contact with the bumper in their case. That setup worked quite well,
You should mount a rear camera on that bad ass old wrecker, I think it would help you out alot and help keep a eye on what your towing out of these hard places!
Nice work getting that heavy beast out of there. The new Broncos' front end issues are well known to everyone but new buyers and some current owners it appears. Upgrade them or keep spares and tools to avoid the drag of shame. Nice to see Abbey working with you.
That recovery went fairly smooth. Too bad that the bronco got stuck because of weak parts for an off road rig.
Love your wrecker! Such an awesome rig.
She broke a tie rod or cv joint. Straight solid axle is always the best choice for off roading
Eric will be building a third wrecker soon. The third one wil be for Abby.
Just wanted to say to u and all your family and friends that help with the channel u are the og recovery channel and do not get enough subs
please remind your daughter to always be alert where she grabs or places her hand with moving metal parts.
I thought her finger was gonna get pinched in the pin hole when extending, but it may have just looked that way on video, I remember when she was In a car seat on here! been watching BSF for a while I guess! she's growing up fast, at first I thought it was mara In the thumbnail picture
And I recommend that dad show a finger of one mangled hand from some innocuous thing. for example, once you see a finger that has had all the meat taken off the bone by a wedding ring that caught on a ladder it sticks with you. Navy safety magazines are a great source for such gruesome reminders.
@@JoeOvercoat I never wear rings or watches near machines, I seen a finger severed in front of me. And my oversized glove got pulled into an air router. Luckily for me the tool stopped, had it been electric I would have lost my hand
I'd worry about the airbags in something like that. Do you pull a fuse before towing?
IFS is good for the better ride and most of the time it is fine. Solid front axles are stronger, but they break sometimes too...Nice, your daughter knows what she is doing and helps out.
I had a 78 GMC Jimmy with a small block 400 in it four-wheel drive with 1636's tires that vehicle was virtually unstoppable, drove around Northern Michigan in 3 foot of water with no problem!
Nothing beats an old square body GM. They look way better than anything new too.
keep the clips coming
Tried to do the same thing with an old ford station wagon, and the same thing happened. Seems ford has improved at all since the 80s
another recovery well done...i do have to say this though..there are off road buggies and trucks then there is this plastic thing that they call a off road machine..if you're gonna off road a vehicle make dang sure it's built for that environment..we have built a few jeeps for off roading and trails and then we also have our nice daily drivers..gotta build for what you're gonna do with the machine
Guess weve found the broncos limits 😂 i love when he said "well its not a jeep" 😂😂 these new vehicles that claim off road capable are seriously hit or miss a buddy of mine bought a kia telluride i believe its spelled and tried to proceed with following my jeep thru a mud hole....2 hours later we finished towing it from the trails because he wouldn't hear me out that my jeeps purpose built for water electrical components like the pcm have been relocated to a water proof box everything that couldn't be moved somewhere extremely high or into a water tight container is frequently reshot with marine grade grease to keep water out....good recovery fellas
She might have had a chance if it would've been a early 1970's Bronco ! ! 😂😂😂😢😂😂😂🎉...
I like the older year bronco's. Those looked like bronco's
Great video
It's funny the Bronco has a stock lifting it tires bumpers and everything else. And you look at all these jeeps. I got all these after the market parts on it
Good one,
Was at apple valley off road park
Good job👍🌟🇺🇸
Chevy k5 blazer, like a jeep but for MEN!!! Like a rock
Had my 77 K5 For 24 years now since i been 18 and its a tank. If you get it stuck your in a place you should of never been lol. Love it!
Folks with the bronco’s…. Do the upgrades to the front end before you take it off pavement, they don’t completely eliminate the piss poor design issue but they do make it slightly more reliable… that or just carry the parts and tools to replace everything about every 100 yards or so.
It doesn't matter what brand it is you just can't be prepared enough for stupid.
What do figure that Bronco repair will total ?
@@billymack4606 the front end of these things are a known issue, the one bronco I was around (the neighbors) broke twice just bouncing down his driveway on the snow and ice. Every other vehicle he’s had somehow has managed the “treacherous” 150 feet but not this pos. As for what brand, you are correct they all suck, doesn’t matter make model or quality anything manufactured since 2004 ish is designed to fail. They’ve decided that heated/cooled seats and enough video games and unnecessary contraptions are more important than actually being useable in an off road environment (or anywhere besides the mall for that matter)
@@Bugsy0333 A lot
@@dontall71 Thanks i figure 6-8 k $
Wish they still made the same Bronco that they made back in the 60s. They could add a CD player, but all of that other computer driven nonsense serves no real purpose in my opinion other than driving up costs. I own a compass and can land navigate. It was a good machine and you could work on it yourself. We put many muddy miles behind the main levee of the mighty Mississippi river on them with no complaints. Yes one had to grease bearings, and all that goes with water and mud but they did pull and hold up. The old International Scouts with a little help did quite well also. The Jeep was always there. We even had them from Korea War days.
A Old Chevy Truck towing a New Ford Truck. As it should be.
The Bronco is a weird little toy. Tell us what it costs to fix it, please?
Greetings from OREGON
I thought she was going to lose her finger in that pin hole! my anxiety was off the charts watching
Definitely needs a sturdier bumper for future tows lol
Why put those logs there? That won't be the last vehicle to turtle out on that hill.
That is a planned and designed obstacle. You're at an off-road park to go over obstacles like that.
Out beating the snot out of it, but worried about the recovery chain scratching the plastic bumper cover...
SMH... Haha....
"It's not a Jeep" awesome
Fru-fru is not even remotely robust, ever.
Looks like a busted steering rack. Can’t believe they put a rack and pinion steering system under these. I’ve seen a few bust like this. They need to have an old school drag link set up that you can at least beef up like a Jeep Wrangler, of course it needs a straight axle too.. I’m sure there is a heavier rack out there but how much better is it. I wanted one until I saw how weak the front end was on them.
I wonder if Ford regrets not putting a solid front axle in the full-size Bronco.
Hell, it's not the bronco that's the problem it's the driver 😂. She doesn't know what she's doing 😂. She keeps trying to steer and hit brakes while the wrecker is towing her😂😂😂.
It cracks me up! Don't wreck my bumper on my New Bronco I took out into the woods to destroy!!! HAHAHAHAHAH
I'll never forget my neighbor's excitement when she proudly announced that her husband had just bought her a "$60,000" Bronco. PT Barnum was right.
I’ll stick with my 1969 Chevy K30 and anyone of my square body trucks that I have for sure!!! One thing I do no is if I did own one of the new ford bronco’s I would definitely upgrade the tie rods before I ever would go taking it off road for the first time for sure!!! It is one of a few weak links that they definitely should have upgraded before even selling them!!! I have a 2007 Duramax and those are also supposed to have weak tie rods but I ordered some upgraded PPE tie rods for it the first day I bought the truck and I have yet to break one yet!!!
LMAOROTF!!!! " well....... its not a jeep!"
A lot of those rigs would have high centered there.
Tell me you don't belong on the trail without telling me.... I've demolished the front of my rig but when the tow truck shows up I'm gonna be worried about putting a t-shirt under the chain. 😂😂😂
I don’t think it’s going to drive strait 😂
Take the doors off so the interior gets trashed too. Good plan.
Just an old worn out tire in between the chains, tow bar, and bumper works really well.
Ford needs to beef up that front end
Aaaaah a K mart cruiser!!
Why did shedrive there over the log?
Bronco…only thing a modern one is designed to climb over are the speed bumps at the local mall….as long as they are little ones. 🤣
If you can't do it with out damaging it leave it alone, it will coast you more than you will make on the recovery and tow, you need a wheel lift or a rollback for these vehicles today,, in this situation a wheel lift integrated with the boom would help a lot,
i wonder what the 2 big bumper shackles are for?
She'll be out there recovering on her own soon.
The Broncowas high centered big time.
