That guy ran out of talent real fast. I've been up to the hot tubs on Hells Revenge (where this video is taken) a couple times and it's no joke. Usually caused by shit mods to make a Jeep look cool without being able to handle the extra load of 37's.

Looked like front suspension failure followed by removal of the LF wheel.

Control arms snapped (because stock arms with 37's is dumb AF) and caused the whole axle to rotate. Once the control arms break, there's nothing holding all that in place so it'll go wherever at that point. I'm honestly surprised the front half shafts didn't break when the front was bouncing up and down before the front end rapidly disassembled itself.

He needed more “Bros” in his “truck”. Also no led light bar, serious oversight. /sarcasm

LOL, funny enough, but here in FL most wrangler drivers are woman.

HAHA, absolutely, it turns the flat hood into a blinding sheet of metal for the driver and kills your night vision. Also illuminates the underside of the tree canopy, but absolutely nothing 50ft in front of the vehicle.

When I bought a used Wrangler in 2000, I was informed by a client "Don't forget, you gotta do the Jeep wave now." I was skeptical but first day out going thru town a young guy gave me the wave before I returned the gesture. It definitely was a thing.

It's definitely a thing, one of the big things that I miss about Jeep ownership.
