would help not jumping it at mock chicken!!! get some gears and crawl up it.
-
Amazing how he keeps driving it without a wheel!
-
Ouch! not the best driving I have seen, though, but I would not have expected the little jump to cause such a huge problem...
-
A 'good' axle doesn't fix 'stupid'.
That 'little' jump wasn't little. He was really on the throttle and didn't let off when he was in the air. I'd guess 3-4000 RPM. With the slope and ALL of the weight going onto the axle as it's spinning, he's just asking for it to break.

If you watch it again you can she his front axle shifts rearward at impact and then shoots the jeep strait up. he is lucky it didn't just stop him dead or worse have the front end go head over tea kettle.
I hate wheeling with guys who do this constant. I have a few that always have something to prove and i don't wheel with them anymore.

This is a better angle.

he's on 2wd the whole time

Also true, but I think he must have had stock axles for the rear one to pop that fast.

It was a Dana 35c or maybe a D44A in any case unless he had a 9 or a 60 he's be spitting out axles. And even then it's still not a sure bet.

Told those guys I could bust the rear end and roll that Grand Cherokee in one go. The dollars I won in the bet paid for the flight back from Czechoslovakia, too. :biggrin:

Actually, I don't think you're far off from the sound of the comments being made. It seems the owner has a shop or at least a few more jeeps.

How do you know this?
For anybody considering airing their jeep out, I've rebuilt many transfer cases from jeeps that had been jumped. One axle lands first and the spinning wheels stop quickly, while inertia keeps the wheels on the axle in the air spinning. The weak point between the two axles is often the transfer case mainshaft right at the speedo gear.

in the second video Jeffy posted he spins the rear wheels
-
I watched it again. Looks like he broke both axles.
-
I saw something, somewhere to do with that video saying it was shot in the Czech Republic.
-
Good axles or not, that's just a dangerous run. Not really the kind of wheeling to do in a Jeep, at least from my perspective. Nice videos though. Thanks for sharing!
-
wow. the carnage. honestly thought he was gonna nose up and then tumble backwards when he hit that lip. another reason why my 4banger is better than his cherokee, if he was in my jeep, he would have never reached the speed he was at and therefor would not have popped the axle lol

Not such a great thing to brag about, but that was my first thought too hahaha :drink:

"get some gears and crawl up it."
I agree but some times you got to gas it to go up it. I know this is true on my honda trx 400.
My jeep is stock with no skid plates so crawl is all I do with it.

That ledge would be a problem to crawl over.

Not really it looks a lot like a climb here the of Silverwood lake.
Here is A fun pic coming down it. It's standing on it nose with about several 100 feet of hill side below it. Guy was very lucky it did not thumble down the hill.

The only time you hammer up a hill if it is a sand hill or a long snow covered hill where you need momentum to get to the top. Just go slow when you don;t make it back up and go a bit faster if need be. He hit that bump way to fast, should have gone to the left and would have been fine
