Kzoo Posted March 16, 2021 Share #2 Posted March 16, 2021 $30k mistake. Having driven many Jeeps in 4W-low in first gear, I'm surprised the tires turned on the pavement and didn't just skid along. I could see the long black skid marks and worn down alloy wheels. Explain this bill to the Mrs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised the wheels turned at all, much less enough to achieve 50,000 engine rpm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Kzoo Posted March 16, 2021 Solution Share #6 Posted March 16, 2021 I bet their gas mileage went up after the loud bang from the back. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted March 16, 2021 Share #14 Posted March 16, 2021 Anybody can make a mistake, but I would think that when you first tried to tow it, and it didn't want to move easily (as evidenced from the skid marks), you would stop and check to make sure you had released the brakes and that the transmission was in neutral.

team scooter Posted March 16, 2021 Share #15 Posted March 16, 2021 I was driving a lumbering work truck down the tollway when a class 'A' camper flew by me while flat towing a Jeep. He had to be traveling above 80 mph. And he forgot to unlock the Jeeps steering wheel so its front tires were locked at almost a 45% angle. I was actually surprised at how many miles I had to travel to finally start seeing tire chunks and the camper and the Jeep (minus its front tires) on the side of the road. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
