Well in defense of the driver, he was doing exactly what the spotter said to do. That had to be the worst line the spotter could have had the driver take.

If you search Youtube for MOAB ROCKER KNOCKER you'll see that that is actually pretty close to the preferred line for the smaller tired guys. Most folks sort of crab across it diagonally until they get the wedge then bump the rear up. It's very high pucker factor for sure.
Some coil spring suspensions (especially w/ sway bars disconnected) really unload quickly.

At $32,000 to $45,000 for a rubicon unlimited me thinks I will retire from any and all spotting. Especially for the next 2 years!

But then again the vehicle that went in front of that rubicon was probably a toyota and had no problems. silly Jeep drivers.

What they didnt show was the toyota flipping the jeep back over and then pulling it over that obstacle.

What are you saying that one line does not fit all??? I think if the wheelbase was just 8" shorter all would have been fine  Who is ready for Camp Jeep and all the Rubicons?  |

I thought C.J. was kaput. It's back? I can't go, unless they allow a Chevota to participate. Or guide. ;D
