Default Almost flopped my 5.9 video. + snorkel used again

Just videos of This Weekend Wheeling with a NE PA group 130 mi from home. and How my ZJ 5.9 is coming along.. Have fun. Almost flopped in the last video.


YouTube - This would be bad without the Snorkel


YouTube - 5.9 ZJ Grand Cherokee takes a plung.


YouTube - 5.9 Snorkle /Locked ZJ almost flops

Have fun with it.

That's some good snorkel usage and heartstopping moment in that last video. Thanks for sharing. It's bad-ass to see you putting that built rig to the test.

You probably already know this but be careful with limbs outside the vehicle when close to flopping. I'd hate to hear about crushed or missing limbs...ouch.

Thanks! The Jeep never hit the Rock on the door or Driver side. Now the control arms and the skids sure did. And Boy do I hear what your saying about using my arm as a kick stand. Not Smart. Funny thing is, I was so pumped that I did not even realize that I did it until after during the review of the Video. As I remember, I Saw that rock coming up at me like I was going to take a nap on It. It all happened so fast IT was just a Reaction. I wish the ZJ had Oh- S*it handles to hold on to. None of the Grand Cherokee's With A moon roof had handles.

I was pumped because I have personally seen someone flop and was told there were other flops. I knew there was a high potential to fail Miserably . I will say that I have be thinking about this climb since last Year when I was there, and building my ZJ so I could attempt it. I.e F/R Lockers are a must. Last year the locals put on a Great show and a great trail ride. The one guy that did make it that day flopped on his first attempt. this is the Pic 4locked YJ at that spot Last Year , I have video but it is long



This Picture and the Video do the wet crack filled rock climb no Justice. but trust Me . It is not for the faint of heart.


There were also some good worst stuck moments this week end. I also have video of Young Adult Females in Mud, but I doubt anyone wants to see them.









Thanks again for letting me share my Fun filled trip.

Makes me jealous and envious because I am not quite done with mine and have been too busy to take it out on the trail

Cool pics though
