      @@zacharywiggins3768 If they are organizers and acting as a guide, then they take on liability.
      It also isnt just them. Somebody drunk or gets stoned in their house vs doing it while behind the wheel for example. The law is less about protecting them, more about protecting those around then.
      Is like what I say as a rider who sees other motorcyclists being stupid. I dont care what they do. They go and kill themselves, is their choice. But they decide to wipe out and put themselves under the wheels of a semi on the highway? Semi driver has to live with those memories and if rider lives, everybody else has to deal with taking care of em for rest of their life.
      So yeah, tell them no because were a lot of other trail users who had their day ruined because organizers didnt ensure proper responsibility.
      Go to a track day. Cars are checked. If not suitable for track? They wont let you on. Miss drivers session? Too bad. Come back next time.

    Having the presence of mind to throw it in reverse and hit the gas when the front end starts lifting is already asking a lot of the average wheeler. To manage that with an H pattern shifter adds another level of complexity. To pull it off with one arm would probably require hours of practicing for that specific situation. There's just too many things to manage and they all have to go just right to save it.
    I'm glad she survived. I hope she learned some lessons, but I'm glad she's rebuilding her rig and getting back out there too. I don't know what her build was before, but she needs a doubler with some super low gearing. She should not have to even think about the clutch once she's rolling.

    The TJ model is just too short and unstable to compete in steep climbs like that. I know, I have wheeled mine for 20 years. Even a 4” lift on 35’s is sketchy. The XJ’s have a longer wheelbase and lower center of gravity. If you want the traditional Jeep look, start with the longer wheelbase LJ. I wish I had bought an LJ instead, but I didn’t know better at the time.
