ComancheKid45 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 50 miles w\ the Tranny in park will do that....lol, grinded into the Transmission also :lol:
Oizarod115 Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 what the ()*^$^ i didnt know that could happen? and what about driving in park?
Eagle Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 and what about driving in park? Isn't that an oxymoron? As to the photo -- I can readily understand the tire getting shredded, but what happened to the spring?
Bounty Hunter Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 what the ()*^$^ i didnt know that could happen? and what about driving in park? Looks like they were flat-towing it. Also appears it ground away the ubolts and spring center pin, releasing the short leaves as the spring clamps would hold the longer leaves in place.
pingpong Posted March 14, 2006 Posted March 14, 2006 All I have to say is WOW :shock: I can't imagine that thing towed worth a $h!t like that. I mean with it being in park, wouldn't it feel like you were draging it? Also with the tire shredding wouldnt you get killer vibes. Patrick
Pete M Posted March 15, 2006 Author Posted March 15, 2006 If you drive a big enough RV, you wouldn't feel a thing. Jeep on! --Pete
Bounty Hunter Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I accidentally left the steering wheel locked once when flat-towing the YJ with our TrailBlazer, luckily it was very noticable within a short distance.
pingpong Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 I was thinking it would be very noticeable. I know towing my rig on the trailer, I can tell within in a mile if the rig is too far forward or to the rear. Also, I can't believe no one tried to stop this guy, and point out the fact of waht he was doing. Patrick
Pete M Posted March 16, 2006 Author Posted March 16, 2006 There's also the chance that he's really really old and had his indicator on the whole time. :D Jeep on! --Pete
matrix37495 Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 i wonder if warranty will cover that? :D i still think he would have noticed the drag in the whole thing, and the sqeeling from the tires. how many mile would you have to drive to get that much damage
Eagle Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 Also, I can't believe no one tried to stop this guy, and point out the fact of waht he was doing. Maybe someone did, and he ignored them. Several years ago my ex-wife and I were on an interstate and saw an empty lowbed trailer (the kind that hauls bulldozers and such) screaming down the road, throwing up a rooster tail of sparks about 15 or 20 feet high. We spotted it just as we came to an exit, so I did a u-turn, caught up to the truck, and tried to flag him down. We received a rigid digit in response, so we got off at the next exit, found a pay phone (pre-cellular) and called the state police. We found out later that they caught the guy about 25 miles up the road, stopped him, and impounded the truck on the spot for being unsafe. The guy really should have paid more attention when we were trying to help him, but some folks don't think like normal people.
mjeff87 Posted March 17, 2006 Posted March 17, 2006 There's also the chance that he's really really old and had his indicator on the whole time. :DJeep on! --Pete Couldn't be, this time of the year they're all on I95 north, driving back up to New England from Florida....then they all migrate back south in the fall.
