I wasn`t sure where to post this forum wise but was looking thru YouTube this evening and came upon this video clip..Is this as bad for the Jeep as it sounds like it should be?

ya, there's no need to keep going like he was, just burnin up the tires. once the traction is lost its lost. let it back, and try another line. he should've done that much sooner.

and he was easy, there are other guys that do that, but give it more and more throttle, and sometimes it bounces enough and grabs a spot, but it is also way more likely to break stuff when you start doing that.

No not too bad, RPMs sounded a little on the high side. What you don't want to do is get the thing wheel hopping, then you start spiting out U-joints, transfer cases, yokes......thats bad.
