Haul a lot of groceries?

That guy is an arse!!! Waaaay too dangerous. How many times did he dang near kill the spotters?!? Hey, if ya wanna tear up a rig to see what it can do, fine, that's cool, but don't put other people in danger to do it!

Good point sparky but, I don't see the driver putting people in danger but rather the people are putting themselves in the way of danger. They were jumping in front of the jeep, not smart in my book. When on the trail with me, you get one spotter and everyone else maintains a safe distance.

That took a whole lotta Floorin'! I would do the same thing if I had a POS jeep I didn't care about.

Agreed.

You would think with the way that thing looked, and the manner in which he approached that obstacle they would have though it best to stand clear.

Man Hinkley tore that thing up. Looked like fun.

you gotta give that jeep credit, after all it is still running at the end of the video.

What video? Linky no worky. Must have been overloaded.

It's an interesting video, but he nearly spread his spotter all over the rock face; in general I'm against people running trails that their rig is inadequately prepared for, they end up tearing things up, stacking rocks, leaking auto fluids all over the place, and the videos make the hobby look violent and reckless. However, I'm not saying that I haven't engaged in endeavors of the retarded nature when I was younger.

Though I'm sure he brought tools to remediate the hazardous waste spill when he tears his gas tank or oil pan off, right?

I agree. I was speaking mostly of the start of the video when he made his idiotic dash against the rocks, and the spotter on the opposite side came down the rock face to grab a strap (I think) and the idiot gunned it again, nearly squishing him. Then as the guy on the near side walked over in front of him, he gunned it again with no concern for that guy's safety......that's just stupid. It's called being aware of your surroundings.

Oh, yeah, and at the end of the video, the guy shooting/narrating it sounded proud of the damage the idiot caused to the rocks.....what ever happened to "tread lightly"? I still say the guy is an idiot and should be beaten with what's left of his front bumper and skid plates.:evil:

There's a good point.
