This driver was way out of his depth, plus the fact the spotter has a lot to answer for. His lack of experience demonstrated in this video, is indicative of that. With these two inexperienced guys, this was an easy predictable accident. Fortunately for both of them, they have survived to see another day.
I agree, driver’s lack of vehicle control led to over driving the obstacle. We see so many macho desk jockeys pretending to be pro-spotters because they’re toy proud to admit they don’t no shit about tire placement or vehicle dynamics in difficult terrain!
Too much air in the tires too?
It's also a 2dr with a shorter wheel base and top heavy. Way too much throttle, Slow and smooth, and pick good lines.
Speed kills. Low range crawl not pedal to metal.
Agree. Interesting how that went. Tried crawling up several times. That last time, gave it more throttle and was successful in the lower section - so must have thought more power all the way up.
well now he has a fully dedicated rock crawler, do not have to worry about scratches anymore..
Probably should have called Moab Motorsports and had Rory come pick you up with Trail Mater.. Also I hope someone talked to the driver about keeping hands and arms inside the vehicle at all times. He is lucky to still have a left arm.
Cool to see a 1980's Susuki doing his Job.....(Had 3 of them, very cool )
Never been to that spot, picture seldom do it justice in it looks rough. Glad Everyone is OK. Glad you videoed the recovery, looks like you know your way around a rig.
(Cool Samurai) too !
Dang man! Glad nobody is hurt! Thanks for sharing
Glad everyone is safe. We did that trail a few weeks ago. That gatekeeper is pretty wild.
Wow. That was a horrible roll over. The hand/arm out the driver window freaked me out. But I hate to pour salt on the wound of the driver, but that was a case of waaaay too excessive skinny pedal! I'm shocked the driver didn't get out of it with the clutch as soon as the front went up. Glad no one was injured! Hopefully a good learning lesson and sad for the Jeep. Safe wheeling.
Two fucking douche balls who shouldn't have been out there unsupervised, like father like son👌😂😂🖕💩🤑
Be great to hear the engine, tyres on rocks, people talking as opposed to all the music drowning everything out. It is a 4WD video, if I wanted to listen to music I would turn on the radio. Still, glad no one was hurt, and it sucks that happened but to be expected if you push the boundaries of your limits, but hey that's what getting out there is all about.
These guys put a whole new meaning on “beat the shit out of” a car.
The second my front end gets a little light, I'm either turning back or looking for a bypass. Good to see everyone safe. And these guys are certainly good sports about the whole thing!
I’m glad to see that nobody was hurt! Others have commented on what was done wrong by both the driver and spotter so I have nothing to add there.
I live in Colorado now and have been around off roading my entire life but in other States. Last year I ordered a 2021 JL Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and totally love it. Everything except for the eTorque. That system I hate but everything else is really nice on my Jeep. After seeing this video I now want to go check out that spot and attempt it myself.
I’m curious what you hate about the etorque?
@@amyfromcali9051, I’m from Cali too originally. But the eTorque has its own battery, coolant system and water pump as well as a belt start generator as opposed to a traditional alternator. I like to off road and go off grid in very remote locations. All of those things add weight, more complexity and more things to break down. An alternator or a battery dies, I can do a trail fix. Not with any of these components though. An alternator is maybe $200.00 to $250.00. A battery, maybe $150.00 at the most. The eTorque system has a belt start generator that is around $1,200.00 just for the part. $2,000.00 to $2,500.00 for the eTorque battery just for the part and that takes special tools and training to change. The water pump and coolant system is I think somewhere between $500.00 to $850.00 just for the parts. Plus the stop/start feature will shorten the life span of an engine. All that to save 1mpg to 2mpg. But delete all that stuff and save the weight and I bet you would accomplish the same goal. Since the manual transmission 3.6’s don’t have eTorque I’m trying to see if I can convert mine to that same set up but with the 8 speed automatic transmission?
You live you learn man! It sucks that it happened but I’m sure the whole process was fun in its own way regardless. I thought it was when I flipped mine, figuring out how to safely put her back on the trail.
My second CJ7 was a rollover. Replaced the front clip. Repaired the door frames and put a new top on it. Drove it for several years after that.
Two things which stuck out to me. Spotter and driver could discuss hand signals before the climb and spotter should be in a place where they are safe and driver can see them. Glad only thing hurt was the Jeep which can be fixed.
If a driver isn’t experienced enough to trust a spotter, he may as well signal with a hula-hoop.
Dude was this your first RODEO , you hammered it from the beginning till the end turning right , what the F**k do you think was going to happen!
It called rock crawling for a reason. Crawl up the mountain. Glad all are safe.
Live and learn! Fortunately no one was hurt!
Did this in stock 2014 Power Wagon a few years ago with no problems. Sometimes it’s all about the wheelbase.
Glad you lived to tell the tale
I've always been a firm believer that you should walk your way into wheeling, not running. I'm assuming the drivers skill set only by watching this clip. Lots of mistakes. Add low wheeling time, lockers, 4:1 case and bad spotting and you've got at minimum a wasted vehicle. I'm glad the guys ok..... My TJ is on 1 tons, 40s, stretched, blah blah blah and it took me 26 yrs of wheeling to get to that point. And I still hate certain lines. baby steps my friend, baby steps.
3 minutes in, I can see that the person on camera wasted the opportunity to capture the rollover. Glad to hear nobody was hurt, but missed the drama. You either have good insurance or just money to burn on rebuilding.
i love the ' The roll bar did its job.' Yep, it did... but I wouldnt be very happy with the amount of damage. Jeeps roll so easy. Short wheel bases coupled with higher center of gravity, spring in the tires (Bounce) and of course the gravity constant... pitch angle, articulation. When to use the horse power, when to NOT use the horse power all combine. Like previous commentor.. there is a comprehension level.. however, experience points were earned here.. no body got hurt. But you will pay for the points. ;)
Tip to this driver. keep your hands and arms INSIDE the jeep.
Good to see everyone is okay. Pretty scary stuff. You could have been crushed and killed if you had tripped while running out of the way. Please stay safe!
I agree, the driver was not up to the task, completely inexperienced.
Do air bags not deploy when rolled over ? Glad both and all are safe and sound
I dont believe any airbags deployed so im not sure if they malfunctioned or if they could have been turned off.
Full send
When experience and talent run out........glad noone was hurt
I always floor it up hills when I'm wheeling, best way to do it, only way you can flip over in a Jeep really. Good idea.
Considering you have a subaru you dont have the torque to do anything but full throttle haha
Whiskey throttle , that guy is clueless!
Well that was an expensive day!!
Damm, that was an expensive day
So you post a video with the title that includes jeep rollover……. And you don’t have any video of the jeep rolling over. Great camera work.
Ya the jeep must have not rolled over because I didn't get the whole thing on camera. Just like that tree in the woods that made now sound when it fell
damn i thought it was an LJ at first… but it wasnt. I have the same rubicon but not as cool. glad everyone made it ok.
done with drones?
He sent er' a little too hard! Glad for no injuries.
Live and learn! Glad you are OK. 2 doors shouldn't be going up there without securing front of the vehicle. I've seen so many 2 doors flip like a pancake.
Was that a real Rubicon? Or just stickers?
Now that's what is referred to as "FULL SEND"!!!
Are 4 doors better at this than 2 doors or was it the driver driving to hard? Just got a TJ, new Jeep owner.
4 doors will be a bit more stable but the driver shown was new to offroading and was driving a manual so he got spooked and floored it.
@@Lostbirdproductions awe I totally get it. I’m glad he was okay that was scary.
Not one straight panel left on that Rubi…😭
Damn that sucks, glad he and spotter are ok. Toyota guy here so I have limited knowledge on the Wrangler but it seems his wheel base is way to short for that climb. I know I'm arm- chairing it but man his approach was way to fast for a shorter wheel base. Don't mean to offend.
what you lot do in USA with 4x4 we are not aloud to do here in Australia
You’re not allowed to do much in that tyrannical dictatorship down unda .
…and the pursuit of happiness. Just like we told the King. (No guarantees about catching it).
I’m sorry to hear what happened. I hope the driver is okie . This trail is really hard.
Regardless of the reasons for the accident, I hurt for that guy. That’s got to suck.
Jc these guys drive like they are driving rock bouncers 😂😂😂
The initial wheel spin at 1:53 made me think there was to much weight in the back of jeep.
Nice if you could see it
Stick to the easy stuff first before you wreck your rig
Too late...
All things considered: Video showed he may have been aired down a little (looking at the tire while it bounced my estimate is15 lbs, which is not what I consider aired down). Next build IMO add bead lock rims so you can air down to 5-8 lbs. ** GLAD EVERYONE IS OK! **
I believe he was at 10 pounds but with brand new tires so the sidewalls may have been a little stiff. It was also a manual and he was new to wheeling so had a bit of a panic moment. He will be back at it soon with better gear and knowledge!
"Behind the Rocks" and "New to Wheelin'" don't belong in the same sentence. There are at least 60 other spectacular trails around Moab that would be much better. Tiptoe Behind the Rocks is a great example. Skip all of the major obstacles and it's already hard enough.
Regardless, thanks for sharing the video. It's helpful to see the adventure, even when everything doesn't go according to plan.
You guys really need an air tank, and to lower your tire pressures. On my rig I have a CO2 tank for an old soda set up and a 150psi regulator. I run my tires at 5psi, then when I get off the trail I just air them up to around 15psi. Glad everyone was OK, I would also consider a real cage, not the OEM one. Wheeling on those trails, I personally wouldn't trust an OEM cage.
Best stay on the hiway.
Matt's Off Road Recovery will get you out.
Wrong neighborhood. Call Rory. Or go slow and avoid the call.
the film looked like 99 percent of ufo citings
if "give it the beans" was a person haha
Low range next time?
watched one to man king of the hammers videos - vehicle not prepared and driver very green - needed an easier trail to learn on
Camera man had one job point the camera at the Jeep rolling .
It was far more important to get down and render medical assistance than try and film the roll.
@@Lostbirdproductions That's a good answer but you could do nothing until the Jeep stopped and there's other people who were closer . Not trying to argue but I've been in the same spot.
Yes and he failed miserably.
@@Lostbirdproductions More excuses. Nothing could be done until it stopped rolling.
3:14 - Winscreen? The British term is "windscreen" -- not "winscreen." In the U.S. the term is windshield. Just wondering if "winscreen" is a typo or a brand reference. Anyone know?
I watch a lot of British content and didnt even realize that I did that! Just a typo
And bent the bonnet… and disinflated the tyres. 🤣🤣 But keep a stiff upper lip, Chappie!
Ohh...ohhh, Parts Jeep.
SOMEONE JUST GOT A NEW BEATER!!!!
60,000 jeep?
I’ll stick to overlanding. I’m not tearing my jeep up climbing boulders.
Man what the fuck was the driver thinking ? Did he think he’s in some sort of 250k trophy truck ?
The music is terrible. Thanks for the video.
What a waste of a Rubicon LJ. If adding larger tires rehear it. You t but is full of incidents like this. Glad no one injured.
looks like the technique to make a successful climb is to have a low psi back tire like the white Jeep truck. Looks like the first truck had a full inflated tires. I hope the driver was fine. The truck can always be fixed.
He was aired down properly but it was a manual and he was new to crawling. He panicked and didn't want to stop so he gunned it hard!
@@Lostbirdproductions Is he going to try again once his truck is fixed?
@@neilfpv knowing them they will turn it into a serious off-road buggy now! So definitely!
Looks like the XJ is the one
I have had many tires in the 14 years of owning my JK. I had those DuraCRAP tires. They did well on the heavier 4 doors but were terrible on the 2 door. They got you into really bad situations. The sidewall is E rated and they will not bulge. IMHO they were dangerous off road compared to a cooper STT Pro. Glad everybody ended up safe.
Matting the skinny pedal is the worst way to wheel.
Looks like he went into spaz mode!
Not very skilled. Not impressed
He was in a manual and was new to wheeling
@@Lostbirdproductions valuable lesson. Could have got killed!
Did insurance cover that?
It's considered an actual road so I believe they did get it covered and bought it back. It is for sale in Colorado right now.
Would have been nice to see the actual rollover.
You don't go out and drive in places you aren't ready for. Very expensive lesson.
Could’ve easily made a job that had he not kept in the throttle
Whoa ... Why did he try an throttle up like that? ... driver error 100%
no excuse for this, needs to get training an experience.
Haha rough weekend
The drone and Jeep crash at exactly the same time.
Nothing to do with the accident itself, but the drone microphone picking up the sound of its own rotors is pretty intrusive...
Should have called Rory Irish and trail Mater
We recovered it ourselves for free. Why would we pay to have it taken out?
Why?
One way to air down…
Heavy throttle, light vehicle, and a short wheelbase. Always a recipe for disaster.
No comment.
🤣🤣🤣Look up “No”
major problem for short wheelbased anything!!!
another reason for bead locks. sooo many things wrong here, lucky no one was hurt on his pride
RUBICANT
that's exactly why I would never run a 6 cylinder in my YJ.. flip ya like opening a lid.
It was a manual and he was relatively new to crawling. Had he stopped instead of gunning it he would have made it no problem.
My VW Baja Bug hardly spun a tire on that hill but my 48 Willy's hated it.
Transfer case with a lower gear ratio usually helps every situation 🤙🏼
Cut the drone audio!!!
Blown tires?? Uh, I bet they were just off the bead. Hello PowerTank.
Should have listened to Rory.
it suck for the insurance.
He should have been stopped long before this happened.. its very obvious he didn't have the experience to have the throttle control to make the climb.. and will anyone ever get a jeep roll over in a actual video..
Ditch the sound effects please!
No sound effects are used?
You can’t park there…
Too much air pressure in the tires. Insufficient skills.
The driver went WFO when he should have backed off. I'm glad I did It all in the 80's with my Hilux. Now in Ca. you'd go to jail and lose your truck doing fun things in the Sierras.
Roll bar did its job, the driver did not. Stupid is as stupid does.
They are lucky he didn't roll over the spotter
too hot on the gas pedal...
Here’s what Happened….2 much skinny pedal……..
