I am sure many of you saw Miss FJ running Hells Gate in here stone stock FJ in this section when I put up a link to the video.

She is also on Toyota website under the FJ vids area there for Moab.

Here is another vid of the same area with Jeff running it in his rig.
Note how the tires are hugging the walls.

Fantastic video. I sure would like ot know what his list of mods are... Exhaust sounds good...anyone?

Enjoyed that VERY much!

It didn't sound like it had exhaust to me.

Anyway, he flew through there! That one part about 3/4 of the way up is where I have seen videos of some pretty tricked out rigs doing a full gainer.

Nice! Looks like it was wet too which makes it that much more impresive!

Very Very nice. I've seen that jeep roll that over before. Excelent work!!

I found his profile, incase anyone else was interested...

Now that was 100% due to the fact that he didn't listen to his spotter. I'm pretty sure Jeff was smart enough to listen to his spotter (and they had a good one).

If that is the same jeep from before where the girl was driving it. I remember she couldn't see her spotter and thats why it happened that way.

Another Moab vid.

Colorful language in this one.
The video will warn you of it, so you can turn it down when the boss walks by

Are there any video's around, other than that one old jeep roll, of someone NOT making Hell's Gate?

Not sure.
Could the short wheelbase at all effect that Jeeps accent to make it tippy, or was it all spotter/driver error that lead to the roll?

Here is an Xterra rolling in Moab.
On the PC I am on right now there are no speakers, and no headphones.
There could be non work safe language, I do not know, so proceed with caution.

Thanks for the link Corey. That was the first video of me I had seen of that trip. I was the stock silver FJ taking the bypass.

Yeah, I saw your name on Mo's video, pretty cool.
A bunch of here at work just watched it again, and Jeff flying up Hell's Gate.
He flew up it pretty fast compared to Miss FJ.
Watching both go up is pretty impressive though.

I think a little less skinny pedal would have prevented that

did he stick his hand out of the window when he rolled??? I swear u can see it 32 seconds in...

I saw his hand come out too. That gotta hurt.

I've only seen one video online w/ the hells gate accident which is the url posted above. She was able to see the spotter and the ultimate cause was driver error from what I can see.

As for the xterra, it's a clear indication that it was the skinny pedal and yes he does try to throw his hand out. Not sure why he would do that besides panic! Word to the wise, don't throw your body parts out of your vehicle when it rolls... :pat:

I will say this much: Moab is a beast. The terrain is very different from any place that I've been and is not easy. It's beautiful but you really have to know how to ride out there or you'll definitely make mistakes. A quick trial and error on the "bump and go" has to be mastered or else you're stuck out there. It's a whole different style and if you're not used to it or have no experience, you're in for a big surprise. Even the simplest trails can suddenly become difficult.

I give props to anyone that ventures to Moab as it is clearly one of the best places to offroad. One day I'll go back

Everything I read was that when her "nose" went up she lost the spotter. I could be wrong though. I thought I read that in the other thread.

Does anyone have a link to the Jeep rolling?
I lost it, use to have it.
