Poor ZJ...
Rip Jeep zj 1996-2013
Interesting choice of bullet car 🥶
That's why I have a tow hook !
Why is fuel leaked
Why did the frame bend to easily ?
Jeeps have flimsy frames
It’s a unibody there is no frame
@@Masonfrost22 oh right I knew that
@@altraffie20Divvitted troII
caddy did good
That zj looks tired.
Even though I’m more partial to jeep, it looked pretty clapped out. That caddy looked freaking mint tho, what a shame.
Looks like the Cadillac did exactly what it was designed to do. Airbags deployed, front crumple zones absorbed much of the force of the impact, passenger compartment did not deform. I'd say the passengers in the Caddy would have survived with minimal injuries. The jeeps occupants would likely have a bad case of whiplash at the very least, but that's to be expected when being hit from behind by a 3500 pound automobile.
The issue was the Jeep has the fuel tank mounted too low and unprotected. This is a test to show that. NHTSA found something like an 18x higher fire rate in rear-end crashes compared to similar vehicles and there were 51 fire deaths. There ended up being a recall in 2013 of 20 year old vehicles, in which trailer hitches were installed for free. Some vehicles were simply too rusted at which point people got a $1k trade in credit.
Caddy for the win Alex.
Airbags? Only one tbh.
Seems like a pointless waste of 2 good vehicles. I want another zj and these idiots and wrecking one
Bro. They are literally doing this to see if the vehicle is safe to drive and if it needs evaluation. Also, This is literally their job.
@@fa1rybabyx238 lol we already know they aren't safe
@@Matp345 🥲
@@fa1rybabyx238 they knew they weren't safe in 93. They're fix for fires was add a trailer hitch. Im not lying look it up. I had to bring my 98 to a jeep dealer in 2018 for them to do the recall. We aren't learning shit from a 25 year old vehicle. As far as safety we're lightyears ahead of this. It's a pointless waste because I don't know if you've noticed this but they don't make these anymore so what we've got left is it.
@@Matp345 I know they don't. They're good looking but certainly not safe
