That was kinda crazy. Such a simple climb. He should of let off as soon as it started to bounce.

Haha, cant believe it turned and missed that cliff when they rolled it back over!

What made the Rubi roll to the right? Video's too grainy for me to tell. Just when he seemed to be in the clear, POW! the front end gets airborne. Did he gun it?

Funny celebration at the end, but funnier comments coming from this group. Besides JJ, which of your KJ's have seen such a "simple climb" of an obstacle like that? If you flopped, which of you would have had the forethought to pull the emergency brake on the way out? Dont be so judgemental-it's easier than you think to find yourself in a situation like that.

Ive been on a few climbs like that. Didnt look like it was anything special to me.

i can say from personal experience , going from a liberty to a Rubicon, when your in 4low and locked front and rear its a whole different jeep your driving, if you are not used to the rubi in 4low with a six speed it can be very dangerous to drive. but those guys are flipping idiots!

I would call them boneheads, but I'd hate to give them that much credit.

They rank right up there with the Mexicans beating up the KJ with the ARB bumper on it.

:roll:

Yeah, he got a little throttle happy there he probably nearly redlined it. Once you have all 4 tires spinning on rock what good does it do to spin the faster?

Even if the driver was too shaken up to remember to set the brake, the other guy should have remembered. I will just consider that a "What NOT to do" video.

Air down!!! It's the First rule. Learned it here.

LOST TJ · **Posted:** Sat Dec 23, 2006 2:15 pm

JJ called it perfect. Dee Dee Dee all the way. Thats what the guy gets for
not airing down, driving off the trail and running over plants, getting locker whore throttle happy and just being a Dee Dee Dee. Hopefully he don't breed.

I kinda felt bad for him in the first one, but the second one made me realize how stupid that guy was as well.

CaKJFreedom · **Posted:** Mon Dec 25, 2006 3:18 pm

Pardon the pun but, at least they kind of rolled with it instead of getting mad when it went down the hill. Lot's of folks would have gotten a little cranky at that point.

When I see that video, I laugh...because that's not my Rubicon. What's weird is you don't hear anyone freaking out, just a bunch of laughing. That Rubicon's owner must be a "dee, dee, dee" for not caring at all about his vehicle. I mean, sure, it's tough (it's a Rubi), but there's no way that little incident didn't do something really bad to his junk.

Jeger · **Posted:** Tue Dec 26, 2006 3:22 pm

The guy must make too much money to care.
