Legit caught me off guard. Also, are you just discovering imsorryjon subreddit?

 

Morning all

 

I didn’t want it to be an email, but ended up making a last minute work trip and all my time went out the window. Oooohhwellll

 

WAIT. That must be a Colorado/Utah kind of thing. I remember seeing rigs with it around Ouray last summer. Show your SAS.

 

Some circles call it a stinger, the idea I think is to keep the hood off the ground in a rollover or something

 

They were staying not far from the entrance to Black Bear Pass so now I understand.

Dang, I wonder what happened there, seemed like it was going good then *flop*

 

I dunno. I think they had a spotter. I watch all these Black Bear Pass flip videos and scratch my head. I don't understand all the drama unless they are doing it for the gram.

I think this is one of the steps where people flip.

The camera angle is deceptive. It's a dashcam in a vehicle that's also off-camber. Turn your screen (or your head) so the man standing to the right is vertical.

Then... top-heavy vehicle without much flex drops its low wheel down a ledge and taps the brakes. Inertia and the opposite-corner suspension unloading do the rest.

I won't pretend I know what the driver should have done different... but that's what it looks like happened.

It's nice and chilly, 40s


Now there are nice bags out there to keep you warm in such weather, but it must be uncomfortable as fuck on a hard ass table -

 

No I've been aware of it for a while, i only go when someone reminds me of Garfield

 

Yep.. To stay on camber on BBP, I hugged the left cliffside or the trail.

It's counter-intuitive and feels like you might drive over the edge but it's safer to keep the left driver side wheels up on the ridge than to run from the cliff and then get off-camber by hugging the passenger side.

I used my handbrake and geared down as low as I could go so I would not need to tap the brake pedal and cause the front wheels to lock. I wanted to keep my front wheels rolling so I could use them to steer.

Guy says he had to cut the end of the frame horns off.

 

Nothing your welding skills can’t fix

 

Guy and his wife here have 4 dogs; 2 chihuahuas, 1 hound, and 1 great dane.

Holy crap the great dane is only 6 months old but freaking huge @esxcli

 

When you getting a big dog?
