They say that 9 times out of 10 when something fails it is due to operator error. All I could think of after watching this was, "DEE DEE DEE"!!!

I had a similar type of thing happen to me, it could happen to any wrangler with the stock shovel.

Even with the Easy Buttons, all 4 wheels just kept spinning. It was a bad idea!

The guy in the video should have turned on his lockers. As far as high centering, the stock shovel sucks. I've been wanting to replace it. However, I would eventually like to go to a Long Arm. You should have just kept on the skinny pedal. You would have done just fine.
