TylerJY Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Since it's local, this is why I love the Jeeping community. Jeep tows a Seattle metro bus up a snowy road. http://vimeo.com/35277506 :cheers: to this Autozone employee.
TylerJY Posted January 19, 2012 Author Posted January 19, 2012 Its the thought that counts :thumbsup:
87Warrior Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 That auto probably doesn't have much life left in it ;) He probably would have fared better in low-range with the lockers locked. Was the bus driver helping at all? I can't say I saw any bus tire spin. I would be lying if I said I wouldn't have tried as well :yes:

mvusse Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I would have tried it. Last winter in 6" of snow my old Cherokee, Booger (now living in Maryland with it's new owner) towed a dead box truck out of a loading dock, up a gravel driveway, then up hill on a chip and seal road to get it into the warehouse to let the snow melt so we could work on it. That was low range with an AX15. I eventually made it into 4th gear but the clutch started slipping so I had to go back down to 3rd. Impressed myself as much as my coworker steering the van. Neither of us expected to even get out of the loading dock, you know, but we had to try.
dave92cherokee Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 Take a look from about 1:15-1:20 when it shows him backing up. Can't tell to well but it looks like he broke part of his steering or something as there's something hanging down from the driver side of the front axle. And you wouldn't see any bus wheel spin in the video as it's an articulating bus and the drive wheels in the back are out of scene for almost the entire clip.
dasbulliwagen Posted January 19, 2012 Posted January 19, 2012 I hate to say it, but I was waiting for the trans to overheat and catch on fire.
