Death of a Jeep 4.0L Vid Inside

[brianl703]

Actually, improper disposal of engine oil is, I believe, a hefty fine. I wonder if anyone at the EPA saw that video.

EDIT: Here's Utah's law. I imagine other states are similar.

"Improper disposal is illegal.

The 1993 Utah Legislature enacted the "Used Oil Management Act" mandating new standards for the collection, processing and recycling or reusing of used oil. The act corresponds with the standards promulgated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

The Utah Division of Solid and Hazardous Waste developed and is responsible for implementing the standards for management of used oil, R315-15. Copies may be obtained from the division. It is illegal for anyone to place, discard or otherwise dispose of used oil in a landfill, in sewers, drainage systems, septic tanks, surface or ground waters, or on the ground.

A single violation of the used oil disposal law can result in a fine of up to $10,000."

pity that it wasn't a manual. That way, the flywheel could have sheared off and amputated their feet.

 

[Cutehumor]

nice, the car caught on fire too. would have been great to see the car blow up too when their standing right beside it. that would have been narly video coverage dude.

Typical Du Mass A-holes!

Wow so much hate over a few guys goofing off. There are much worse things going on than distroying a Jeep. It would be different if it was stolen or something. Six quarts of oil is nothing compared to the vast majority of cars leaking oil everywhere.

Give a single mother a car for free. That's pure **. How about getting a jobbie job and buy one like everyone else.

It is funny though how a few guys here want to see these guys hurt/killed/burned for being silly and blowing a motor up. Looks like fun as long as they can afford it.

Anyway I'll move on to something else. And it likely won't have anything to do with wishing someone gets hurt. That stuff is comes full circle.

Well, you sure sound high and mighty. Do you think it is easy for all single moms to get a "jobbie job and buy one"? How come we never thought of that huh? I know women who hold two full time jobs and can just barely get by with all the expense of raising kids. So, try not to sound so arogant and have some bloody human understanding and compassion. Or is that too much to ask?

And for those who said that giving this car to a single mom would leave her stranded I be to differ and a slight pre-emptive repair could have kept this car running for a long time.

These guys are typical spoiled idiots. This is the future of America? G.o.d. help us.

It's was sorta funny.

The wipers are going the whole time eventhough they're gonna kill the Jeep.

After it blows one guy is laughing like a school girl while the cameraman deadpans, "their is going to be a big hole in the oil pan". That was funny.

Looks like that Jeep was a hardcore off-roader, with external roll over cage and everything. Probably not the most appropriate vehicle to give to some poor person. There is enough old Cavliers and Escorts for them.

Well before this thread gets locked:

"nice, the car caught on fire too. would have been great to see the car blow up too when their standing right beside it. I agree 100%

A slight preemptive repair? You mean like a rebuild? Maybe fill it with 20w-50 and VSOT? Not effective, it's still a ticking suitcase.
Ok, instead how about pulling the crank from underneath (leaving the engine in place), pulling the offending piston assembly, R&R (no more rod knock), putting it all back together and donating it.
Largess is barely enough of a word to describe that. In other words, I can't see that as realistic. If the owner goes to the trouble to effect that repair, why would he donate it?

However, I'm not in the "get a jobbie-job" crowd. There are plenty of people unable to work or who can and do work hard but still barely keep their children fed and housed. It's still unrealistic to suggest this jeep would've been a good candidate for donation to somebody in that much need. You might as well give them a bottle of penicillin while saying, "Well, this has at least a few pills in it, but I really don't know how many and it might be expired. Good luck, I hope it's enough to get your kid well!"

Man, you guys would make me feel guilty for throwing away half a bowl of leftover pasta.

 

[Accord2005NJ]

What? You threw away past? Into the dungeon with this man I say

 

[KW]

Accord2005NJ, I'm not high and mighty at all, just have'n a good time.

I wonder what broke first. It would be fun to pull the motor apart and see the damage. I would lean toward a wrist pin going first.

 

[Mr. Boston]

All I can say - that little Honda engine must be a tough unit!

 

[V1]

The guys with the jeep were just a bunch of clowns.


These people actually used some brains. http://www.muchosucko.com/video-remotecontroltoyotacamry.html

I read a deal a few years ago about some Brits. trying to ruin a 600 sportbike at a pup one night. They held it against the rev limiter for something like 30 minutes, it boiled over and vaporized the oil out of it. At the end of the night one of the guys added oil to and rode it home. They claim the bike ran great even after the abuse.

 

[Thermo1223]

I agree with what KW said before,

I was just concerned the oil would pick up on other trail rider tires and thus causing them to get stuck in a mudhole somewhere.

 

[Thermo1223]

Also Accord2005,

No the future of this country expects everyone in need to get a handout, whatever the circumstances. She is the one who can pull herself out of it. If she thinks she deserves a handout then I guess she should have thought twice before popping out those babies.

Common sense is free ya know...

 

[alreadygone]

Have to side with KW here!!

You dont realize how tough these engines are until you really push them to the limit.

When husbands or boyfriends never leave, and bosses never fire, then your argument will be valid. Alot can change.

Wish I could see the video. From what I have read, I don’t really see anything wrong with blowing up a bad engine. I don’t agree with giving a single mother a Jeep. I can’t imagine the gas mileage, and giving a rod knocking vehicle to anyone.

I would have preferred a nitrous bottle and a hill climb as the way to kill a jeep, but I guess when I have the money and the old jeep to blow up, I will try it out.

Only wish I could get Nitrous here, would be a lot of fun come next March.

no single mother is taking a 92 cherokee with gutted interior, outside roll cage, lift kit, and 38" mud tires.
