...and before there are 50 fuckin' comments from all of you expert web wheelers about how this wouldn't have happened if he had let the right side drop in instead of the left, shut up...you have no idea what you are talking about...:fish:
i have herd stories of this duck guy when wheeling out on on northland drive behind a busniess complex being put in (it was all legal wheeling with permission from the owner)
that looks alot like some trails fabricator took us down in twinlake area
At that angle factory seat belts are not going to go back on.
And good to see you had plenty of help to safely extrat your Jeep ,eyes and ears all over.Good job,that is a bad spot 4 feet from were I rolled my buggy!

<--------------Same spot in my avatar about 2-3 months ago
and about 2 months prior to that I broke a Front axle shaft and a rear axle shaft on the right side at the same moment....except I was at the top and hit that undercut on the right side.
Yep, I know exactly the line you are talking about. Dang, not a good spot to have all that carnage
I would have never tried that spot if I hadn't just made it up that exact same hill a few weeks ago. This time it looked a bit more knarly and washed out, but another guy in our group made it up just before I attemped it, so I thought I had a chance taking the right line up. Difference was that he was turning 39.5" tires and and LS-1 to power up.
No one... especially me will get on ya for getting sideways. The fact that you had no seat belts on..... bad on ya! When in put my YJ on it's side, if I wasn't wearing my seatbelt, I woulda wound up kissing the pass rollbar.
Christ....nobody listens, do they.....he HAD his seatbelt on...
He had to take it off eventually so the blood would flow back into his extremities as the extraction was a little more complicated and longer than expected (no easy way to get a line down there on the correct angle).
Well, the seatbelt thing has been established and addressed. The video was edited together and not in real time, hence the seatbelt off. I could not get it back on in that position. We sat there for quite some time as my winch decided it didn't want to work for some strange reason after we unspooled it and got it all set up.
Sticking my foot out was a big NO-NO. I know better and was taught better, etc.. regarding keeping your arms and legs inside. It happened kind of fast and I didn't have time to think about it. It was a reflex or knee-jerk reaction on my part. I don't know how else to explain it. Maybe if I found myself (my Jeep) in that position more often, I would have maintained better composure. It was a mistake and fortunately neither one of us got hurt. I'll do better next time, but hopefully there won't be a next time :sonicjay: I don't want to do that again.
when duc was a kid did he play the little asian kid in the goonies? jeezus
