YIKES 70mph BRONCO SIGHTING!

[matt w]

Buddy of mine just sent me this Bronco Sighting at 70mph

When that spare tire rack slams shut it's gonna bend somethin

 

[drock]

Yikes is right! Hopefully it won't end too ugly.

 

[Ohio Bronco 21]

I hate when that happens, YES it once happened to me.

Hanging on the back of the trailer if the trailer hits a bad bump the force could sheer that bolt off! It looks like a ProtoFab bumper because I have one as well.

 

[agduckhunter]

Definitely a protofab.

Yep... Happen to me.... Also door coming open, lost gas cap, and run out of gas... Those things make me a normal Bronco owner.

Yep. Lost gas caps, door opening as well. Let's see, what else. Hood nearly blowing up on freeway.

Looks like one of the Bronco's from SEMA

Finding out there wasn't any bolts holding the top on. Top blowing off at speed (guessing around 70) on I-29. Thankfully no one was injured other than the top. The driver of the transport was pretty shook up.

Not a tire rack - that's a weather vane. Keeps the trailer tracking straight!

Been there done that. Wiped out a mail box leaving a quarter car wash, where I forgot to re-latch the carrier.%);D I was also missing the retention cable.

What is the problem driving on a freeway with a trailer and Bronco? I was cruising at 80mph with my Bronco behind my Excursion and it was just fine. No speed restrictions in my state for towing-

 

[Tedster100]

That's going to leave a mark!

I was going to say that I don't know about you guys but 70 mph in a Bronco is fast (towing, not a problem) Driving one that fast? It has the Aerodynamics of a Cinder block, lol.

 

[zonian]

Perhaps he's trolling.....if it swings outward it could cause a nice dent in the side....

They're pointing out that the tire rack isn't latched, so it's swinging freely at 70mph.

I waxed my cinder block, much better aerodynamics. Oh & my tire carrier cam lock is home made, never had it do that. LOL

I WISH we did not have 55mph max when towing here in calif! that rule is from the 1950's and is a cash cow for the CHP here! The need to update the law to 65 for the modern cars/trucks that are now on the road!%)
