This is the sphincter test. If you listen closely, this person's snaps shut as required

Rock Rails FTW!!! I think they kept you from tipping.
Your comment above is pretty funny
. I don't have sound on my computer right now, so I couldn't hear any conversation. Something similar happened to me at Rausch Creek a couple months ago. They had to run a strap thru my B-pillar to keep me upright. How much lift is that? Seems you need to go wider with that much lift.
If I were a guy I'd give my left n-- to wheel in Moab. I'm sooo jealous.

. If I were guessing, I'd say he is on about 6 inches of lift, if those are 35s. Going wider would not hurt him, however he would have been fine here had he been a foot or two to the left. Almost any vehicle will find itself tipping or almost tipping on that line coming down. I don't have any video on youtube of me going down that, but there are a couple of me going up it 
Hopefully you can make it to Moab some time - it is worth it, IMO.

The sphincter snap was like a gunshot! I think the tire wedged in the rock seam. Man that was a real bad line or a genius read of the terrain by the spotter.

A good spotter is worth the cost of every component on your Jeep. I've had spotters run me up the creek in the past ... & it sometimes seems like some of the not-so-good ones are always first out in front trying to "guide" you.

Man, that was VERY close to being a really bad roll. I'm glad it worked out for him!
Oh yeah.... I couldn't hear his sphincter slamming shut over mine slamming shut for him. LOL!

If that rail wasn't there he'd of definitely gone over. Wow, horrible job by the spotter. I'd love to hit Moab at some point. There and somewhere in Colorado there's something like a 7-day trail through part of the Rockies. I'd love to do both!
