A real eye opener to anyone that wheels with kids! Anything can happen, while i love the recreation man i would hate to have my kids with me f something like this happened. You just never know.

 

Should have bought a jeep.... Seriously tho that sucks. It just goes to show that anything can happen and safety is always first. Vehicle inspection is also a must. His gears must have already been wearing out and all that uphill torque finally caused it to break. I wish the best to his family!

 

That sucks. That's the same hill you had to wench up after breaking you other front driveshaft.

 

yep, it was after i broke my 2nd axle shaft, not drive shaft! lol. But yeah that is the same hill, damn! Jose almost rolled on that hill to when he lost traction in the middle rocky area.

 

is that a gnarly hill climb?

 

its steep and very slippery, lots of loose big round rocks

 

Anything can happen to any of us at any time while out wheeling....i say a good roll will save your life....

 

"...In an off-road Jeeping accent..."

Yeah...way to keep tossing Jeeps under the bus....it wasn't a 'Jeeping' accident if he was driving a Land Rover.

 

I'm really glad to hear the guy will recover from his injurys. KUDOS!!!! To the local Sheriffs and EMT and Life Flight crews!!! That must have been a heck of a tumble. The old Land Rovers like that one are very tuff!!

You know what I'm thinking. I have to give that hill climb a try. Hey Timmy, that Little Naches area sounds like a good next place to invite the West Side boys over to wheel for a weekend.

 

yea for sure, it would be a bit of exploration for us as well, there is alot of stuff there we have never seen. Its also the same area as the funny rocks.

This is where naxja holds their nwfest, if you look up their trail reports it will give you an idea of the trails there.

 

That picture looks painful. Maybe a roll cage would be a good investment.

 

remember roll cages are nice but make sure if you install them with proper head clearance cause when off roading or on the street more head injuries occure when the clearance isnt right and you hit your head.

 

This is sad and all but this is why everyone should have a cage in there rig. If he had one he would have been much better off
