TJ roll over video thread

[Vinman]

That video demonstrates exactly what I’ve been saying for years.
The introduction of the Rubicon ruined the sport for a lot of people, it gives people who don’t have a clue what they are doing the tools (lockers) to get themselves into a whole bunch of trouble fast.
Had that guy been driving a non-locker equipped Jeep he probably wouldn’t have made it that far up the obstacle with a far less likely chance of that outcome.

I'd like to think just as easily as lockers can get you into trouble, not having lockers can also get you into trouble.

Knowing what you're doing and what your rig is capable of goes a long ways towards avoiding trouble.

As comedian Ron White says: "Ya' can't fix stupid!"

 

[MikekiM]

you gotta experience rubbing the dirty girls down to help clean them up. It does take a little work but I wouldn't actually call it work.

Hadn’t considered that angle. I left the garden hose on in the vegetable garden when I left this morning. Going to try to get my wife to flop around in the mud when I get home.

Anybody notice that the guy was fine and didn't die?

What guy? Was there a guy in the mud? Didn’t care to notice. I saw the same two girls who never got muddy.

Oh wait the rollover dude. Right.

Wait.. The girls actually enjoy the mud? That’s Cool..

 

[L J]

When in doubt, throttle out!

uh ... nevermind

 

[cherrybomb]

Lot of judgement here, glad no one here has ever flopped or gotten themselves into something they shouldn't
I just enjoyed watching some excellent examples of tools (hi-jacks) and techniques (brake clean to reseat beads) that some people here swear will kill a busload of nuns

Anyone who says "hey did you notice the guy" in this thread must be gay

Everyone judges some more than others..this group tends to be judgy as hell myself included. Don't judge a book by its cover? I sayy why not, most of the time I do and I'm spot on

Monday morning Q-back says, "airing down the tires and slowing the roll would have prevented this."

Yeah, but life taxes the hell out of it.

Yeah, the guy who didn't have any supplemental cagey stuff.

 

[glowell222]

I have done some stupid stuff with my rig. Entirely happy that nobody was filming.

This actually applies to the whole of my existence.

My name is NashvilleTJ, and I approve of this message.

Short arms with 4" springs don't help.

Power washer with the zero degree attachment should get it done.

 

[NashvilleTJ]

I don’t recall seeing this posted before so thought I’d share it.

TJ took a nasty roll.

I believe that's at the beginning of Behind the Rocks. @JMT , when you do this trail I do not suggest this line.



I think this is that climb:

Yep, it's the gatekeeper. You made it look easy.

 

[MikekiM]

That’s same obstacle as the one the rollover dude was on?

Talk about making it look easy..
