Not sure if you guys have seen any of these, but I stumbled across it on youtube. Pretty scary, some funny, but all worth studying to make sure we don't do it.

Haha yeh the dog was good. I also liked the reaction to the blue rock crawler that went sideways in the ditch... "do you know how it's gona be to get that out?"

 

[Tranquillity]

I think it's a good video to watch for any new to the rock crawling / off roading thing. I shows that rollovers are something that can happen in the mildest situation... !

And that dog lol, it never gets old :cheesy:

 

[Napalm90]

wow that one at 1:25, Driver stupidity

Notice all were 2 Door?! Not saying 4 Doors are prone to roll overs but... Damn Son!

My point exactly. I was really surprised to see how mild some of the trails looked. Have to be mindful when you're on any type of trail

I'm guessing they are all 2 door because most of them were filmed before there were 4 doors. The first one with the dogs is actually the brother of a friend of mine at Logandale, NV. He never actually rolled it, just stayed pinned vertically on the wall. The dogs running out is pretty funny.

Here's a 4 door rolling in case you are wondering what it looks like.

Yea looked like all yj's and tj's too

That 4 doors roll over seems the result of a first time spotter and first time driver... I'm no judge, might have happen to me but still. Wasn't it obvious that wasn't going to end well ?

That spotter was clueless!

Actually it was driver error. There was a discussion about this on another forum and a guy who was there the same day with the same spotter posted a video of how it should go. The driver wasn't listening or didn't trust her when she continually told him to turn all the way driver. It put him off the line and didn't end well. He was supposed to slide the front sideways across that ridge.

I went from what I saw on the video, I'm sure it was different in person.

I thought the same thing when I first saw it. So did a lot of people.

Here is what it should look like.

This is the next Jeep up, you can see them working on the rolled JKUR as he passes it.

Wow. Insane obstacle. I can see what you were saying about the guy who rolled, that he didn't trust the spotter and go full driver, but to me it looked like his approach was off. Looked like he was further left on the ledge than the others. Could've just been camera angle I suppose. Thanks for the vids

Agreed! She's not walking to look at both sides.

I've watched that video many times and it pains me to see it because my JKU is the exact same color
