Funny story

So a friend of mine with a TOTALY mall rated Jeep found out a while ago that his truck would lift the left front off the ground if he was making a left turn under hard throttle. So naturally he wants to find out if it will do the same thing while going in a straight line if he just dumps the clutch from a stop, turns out it will.

So he is in a parking lot (a mall parking lot no less) and he is trying to impress some girls with his stupid jeep tricks. He does a few circle wheelies and then lines up to do some straight ones. Checks out the girls one more time, gives it a rev, dumps the clutch -SNAP-

Apperently when you bolt on a rice boy intake + cone filter your 4 liter starts making MAD torque and your awsome Dana 35 rear axle just can handle putting the power down through 35" tires (and no he wasn't in 4 low).

For the record, chicks dig body dammage, not having to ride home in the tow-truck that is hauling your busted shit home from the mall.

Gives a whole new meaning to the saying...."It's a Jeep thing you wouldn't understand". It should be "It's a heep thing you have to be gay to understand" At least he got a ride with one of the girls he was trying to impress. Sorry if I offended any of the homosexual members we may have.

I was @ work and was telling my supervisor that I wondered if the ol' bronco would still do a burn out. 5 grand and 2 seconds later I no longer owned a set of 4:11's in the rear. I will chauk that up as stupid thing to do at work. :redneck:
