I'll give Sandy credit, he's driving it like it's a 20k vehicle.

Something is going to break driving like that. The suspension doesn't have enough articulation/travel to absorb those large jolts/jerkiness on a 7K lb vehicle. Small tire sidewall not helping either.

Maybe we'll get a teardown anyway, when Sandy has destroyed it and decides he might as well get some more use out of it.

Pretty sure that is the teardown vehicle. IIRC the one his wife refused to destroy was LG.

It was definitely not in the high suspension setting.
looked like standard height.

This is the tear down R1T so Sandy’s just killing it, having fun before it’s in pieces.

Makes sense to push it harder than normal and do the tear down and see what's given way/broken as a result.

Probably their plan.

Love seeing 21s survive this.

This is their new teardown methodology: "kinetic disassembly."

Looks like Sandy’s giving this R1T a “last meal” before it goes under the knife.

I can‘t wait for the R1T tear down. I am curious as to how the R1T ticks under the skin.

Sounds like something broke at the end of the video.

Tear down content to start…
