    How to destroy a Bronco. You should do the proper way, welding the back section of the cab, using a shorter bed, so it has lesser overhang. And using the original body panels to build the bed lateral section, for a more clean design.

I get your not particularly Ford fans (nobody's perfect lol), but it didn't really put the new Bronco in the best of light. And believe me, as a Ford guy, I'm not seriously impressed with their new take on a previously badass unit. But you guys know how to really make some awesome rigs and I just kind felt like ya took her down a few notches from how it showed up at your shop. And I like the "Yute", Australian tray truck idea. Just figured making it functional with a hair shorter bed would have done it some more justice we. I love you guys and your my fav in the Motortrend family!

    Youz need to look into safer winching techniques, I was scared for you that whole time. stand out of the line of fire (if winch cable breaks), use a stump saver on the tree, weighted bag over winch cable and never let it sag then tighten... also try not let it run over sharp rocks 🤣

      It was a synthetic line, when they break they just fall to the ground - you don't need to weigh them down.... Also, that is a Yakkum recovery rope they used as a tree saver, they are about 2" in diameter and designed to stretch - using them as a tree saver is one of the designed use cases....
