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

  "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
