That was pretty sweet. Not a bad idea for what to do with a dying jeep if you don't want to trade it in for something else. 

Uh whatever that dude did with the match to the spare tire, yeah I need to know how to do that. 

I gave me a slight tear watching it. Along with guilt, I wanna know the match trick too. 

god damn. I want a jeep. 

Oh that's definitely what I'm doing when my jeep goes bad.

It's a stuipd way to reseat a tire. 

that is flippin sweet. I'm jelous
how do you do the tire thing? 

At least they were wearing helmets, most internet idiots that do stunts like this never do it safley 

that's why I love my jeep! Man I thought for sure that the tire was gonna blow up! 

Where can I find that song? 

Ditto. Message in a Bottle, but by whom? 

It's from Machinehead, by the way ¡sweet ride! 

Found it. Machine Head. 

Damn son, beat me by a minute. 

Thanks 

I wonder what what wrong with it. It pulled logs, cars without wheels, and went up steep hills. It took a lot of abuse before finally stating to look totaled. 

Damn, wish I had thought of that back when I had a worthless old beat up truck. Awesome way to send a jeep out.

A+ 

come on. match, tire, fixed.

how?! 

yea not trying to offend anyone but down here (tejas) a latino would be driving that for at least 3 more years. I feel bad as an American consumerist seeing finely engineered products going to wankers especially if it was some wankers... 

I remember being able to edit.

...Products going to waste especially if it was some wankers. 

you spray some flammable gas next to where the tire is off, you burn it, and the air density next to the tire drops causing pressure, which makes the tire jump to it's place

which part of that could you not figure out from the video? 

This brought a tear to my eye. 

I've always just wanted to drive the hell out of a car until it quits working. 

A jeep like that NEVER costs more to fix than it's worth, because they are priceless.

I'd like to know what they thought was so wrong with the thing to begin with. As you can see, they'll run forever, even with a group of retards doing their best to destroy it. 

This jeep had a right side driving wheel. ftl. otherwise looked like awesome fun! 

Um.... looks like it's running fine to me. 

Lighter fluid and a match is also a quick way to inflate a tyre, if you know what you're doing that is. :) 

My wife told me mine was indestructible.
Now I know the limits.
I will have mine until the Muslims take over. 

The reasonable part of me thinks this seems like a bad idea. However, every other part of me thinks this is frickin' awesome. I wonder if my car could do this...hmm... 

that was TREMEEEEEEENDOUS!!!!
wonder how thier backs are gonna feel a few yrs. from now 

Woulda taken twice as long if it was a Land Rover... hehehe

The tyre trick is something every off-roader should know if you ever air down. 

Tire Trick..

Its an old trucker trick really, a friend of mine who used to work for Bridgestone told me they used to do it when on the road if they couldnt get to a repair center and had to keep moving.

The fluid is gas usually. Something that expands quickly.

First seat the tire best you can and if there is one lip that wont seal with air pressure, spray a small of gas inside and light it. The resulting heat and expansion will force the bead to seat...

Problem: Some fuel gets left behind and when driving for long period can explode causing a rupture.

stfu, that was cool. like you know what the fuck was wrong with it.
and anyway they aren't americans. 

Wait is what they did to their Jeep a bad thing? I bet mine is pretty pissed at me, then. Oh well. 

Cool.

If you liked the music & haven't heard Machinehead before, listen to more Machinehead; most of their music is a lot better than that cover. The band is underrated. I don't think they're together anymore though. 

Dear Soccermom driving around in your Mercedes M-class,

This is what SUVs are meant for. Not to haul your screaming, spoiled, bratty kids to soccer/dance/karate practice. Heaven forbid you take your $45K luxury car off-roading like this. Or on second thought, do it, and wait for someone with their cherokee to pull your ass out of the fire.

Cheers! 

Niiice. 

stfu, that was cool. like you know what the fuck was wrong with it.

He didn't say they were Americans. He said as an American consumerist.
Furthermore, it was running. Period. So there couldn't have been anything so wrong with it that it couldn't be donated to a charitable cause.

I have a Jeep that I'm going to get rid of. Probably to a starving children's cause. So starving children can 4x4.

Seriously. Maybe a sick child can have a meal from procedes that are received from an auctioned Jeep. 

I didn't say I wanted to know the match thing out of practicality. I'll never need to reseat a tire. But in the event that I find myself in said situation, I can now show off with gusto.

That was a very touching speech, brought a tear to my eyes...
Hell, tehse kind of cars are born to do this sorta things...cmon why else would they do what they do in the commercials? 

The tire trick is bad news. Not in this situation since the lack of high speed. You don't usually loose a beed and then have a good tire still as well as having something to inflate it again. But if you are planning on slamming a tire with enough force to knock it off the beed, this is an ok trick. Just watch out if you plan on driving it home.

I got from the comment that what was wrong with it was it need an inspection

If it's going to cost more to repair (inspection) your Jeep than it's worth,

How much can inspection cost... I think I could sell that jeep for more... Still that video kicked my ass backwards.

Sometimes donation is nice. But sometimes getting what you paid for is even better. But all the same, I would pay to see starving kids 4x4 like this.

And if it hasn't been said, cherokees suck. At least this one went out clawing and gnashing.

The part where you should lose the chip on your shoulder. 

wow.....

he should of just taken it to a private non-government inspection type place where if you know the right people and have the right ammount of bribe money you can get them to 'inspect' your car by not even looking at it.

The cops dont care if your car is on falling apart, as long as it has that stupid sticker saying you passed inspection.... you're good.

HERE HERE!
Excellent! A truck/suv is BORN to do these things, and you driving one so you can haul around a ton of kids is senseless, HAVE FUN with your Gas Guzzleing machines! If your going to pay for all wheel drive then why the hell don't you use it?
I honestly cant tell you how many times I've had to show someone how to get their vehicle out of AWD, driving in reverse to unlock the transfer case. If you dont know how to operate the AWD function properly than why the hell do you have one in the first place? I hate this more than I hate people who purchase BMW's and Corvettes and refuse to push them past 2k rpm while on the road.

This video is a testamant to the extreme quality of the JEEP line, they have strived for years and years to design their vehicles to do what they can do. Half ot them end up in suburbia never to see a gravel road, not to mention a mud riddin trail. Sad. 

I am so buying me a FJ Cruiser now.

For all those wondering why the car was scrapped when it was still working.

The vehicle failed it's MOT test. The test is an annual test set by the government, the vehicle must pass this every year to be allowed on British roads.

The vehicle failed this and the cost to repair the vehicle would be higher than it would be to just buy a different vehicle. Simple economics really. 

The REAL tire trick.....

We used to do that when I lived on a farm back in the day to get big tractor tires to seal. The stuff he sprayed was starter fluid....not GAS! Best way is to set the tire on the ground and spray the edge like he did, then a trail about 6-8 foot away from the tire on the ground, but you have to light quick as it evaporates at an alarming rate. The main key to the whole thing is to MAKE SURE you have the valve stem core out of the tire b4 you do this or your tire will go into orbit. Works like a charm.... 

I always loved watching that tire trick. I've seen it done on discorvey channel in either the north or south pole. The snow crawler's tire went flat. And they used the trick to get going again. 

The vehicle failed it's MOT test. The test is an annual test set by the government, the vehicle must pass this every year to be allowed on British roads.

we have inspections where I live too, and the problem is, if it doesn't pass inspection, good luck trying to sell it. No on wants to buy a vehicle that hasn't passed the inspection. and depending on why it failed you may not be able to make it pass with any amount of money. 

wow, i teared up a bit watching that and actually clapped at the end.

:( i miss my blazer
