Warning the F bomb is dropped several times in the video.


Threw it in 4x4 and was going to drive it home on the bare wheels.. made it a couple miles, fuel tank started dumping gas and lost fuel pressure. Had to leave it in the woods, will be back with a trailer tomorrow.

Comments?

How did you hit the poles? That sucks!

[90Pioneer]

Came down the hill going 40-45mph (used to rally on this road often last summer). By the time I saw the poles it was too late, missed them with the front end but my rear DS tire caught the pole. The pole was actually rolled over about a foot!!

[gradon]

I've done that twice.

[CaliXJ]

:scared: WOW! That suck!!!! That was awesome that she fire right up though!

[soopergoober]

I must say, you were remarkably well composed considering the situation you were in! Bravo, way to keep your cool. BTW, are YOU okay? The jeep obviously isn't :(

Shoulder is a bit sore from the seatbelt, along with my back. Other than that I'm alright. Anticipating being sore tomorrow...


Anybody have a 96 cherokee for sale?? lmao

Slow learner? :D

[soopergoober]

I suggest this gentleman be the "mold" for the next marvel or dc superhero - half Superman, half MacGyver. The guy just rolled his jeep going 40-45 mph, after which he rolled it back over with his own two hands because the winch drained the battery!

Go for a 95 if you like the old body style or a 99 if you want the new style. 96 is a red headed stepchild electrically AND has the new slip yoke design on the transfer case so you are more likely to need an SYE even with a short lift.

Looks like it sucked, though I suspect it could be fixed if you really really wanted to. What's the damage report? Looks like windshield, rearend+tires, brake system, header panel, most of the passenger side, gas tank, shocks, and some bumper damage to me, how's the transmission/drivetrain?

Tranny seems alright. Rear hatch is destroyed, plus the dent in the roof.

Already have an SYE on this jeep. I'd just swap it over.

I am pissed about the gas tank, I have $1200 into that bastard.

Lift on it is a 5.5 rubicon express long arm, front has an ARB locker, and an LSD in the rear. 4.56 gears. Lots of other mods.

I've beaten on this jeep HARD for ~4+ years now. I think the best option would be to find another and swap the good parts over.

damn dood. glad to hear our ok. what rear axle was that? what did you have to do to get it all the way over? hope its still there tomorrow and no one stole shit out of it or light it on fire like they do around here if you leave something in the woods

[srmitchell]

You're quite the man. Props.

[FlexdXJ]

Wow, that wide of a road and you happened to hit one of two 18in diameter poles at the edge of the road. What are the chances? Glad you're ok dude i bet that wasn't fun at 45 mph.

Rear is/was a Chrysler 8.25 with 4.56 gears and an LSD.

[tbburg]

That was probably a really cool drift, right up till the rear tire hit that pole,... Ouch.

[YELLAHEEP]

Ok, when that kind of hilarity ensues...... NEVER STOP RECORDING! :D

Ya shoulda just set the camera down on something when you went to push it back on it's wheels He-Man style..... :twak:

So..... what did you learn from your experience here? Care to let us in on your edjumakation? :D

Hmm.. I learned to carry a set of good tools, ANCHORED down. I usually do but didn't have them with me this time. Same with a spare tire.

Also don't hit powerline poles going 40+ MPH.

[ehall]

damn who put powerline poles on a public trail?? that's just cruel

[kastein]

I'd almost say two spare tires and a spare rearend... :roflmao:

Would be pretty tough to fit in the back though.

[GunshowfoshoW]

its fun huh? i did the same with my jeep....except in a ditch

[ARB-XJ]

:gee:

[squirrel80]

Starter fluid, a lighter and a large plug kit would fix the two spare issue.

[4WDlifeform]

Got to love that motor! fired like nothing happened! I was expecting some sort of sputter or something... Clever use of the winch! Nice work :laugh3:
