Jeep Wrangler Embarrassingly Gets Stuck on Tiny Snow Pile

Jeep Wrangler

Two-wheel drive Jeep JK gives a whole new meaning to the term mall crawler with its single spinning wheel.

We here at JK-Forum appreciate the fact that the vast majority of our members use their various Jeep rigs in the manner in which they were designed to be used. As in, off-road. Conquering huge rocks, nearly impassable trails, and other obstacles that would leave most vehicles broken and stranded. But we’re also well aware that there are plenty of Jeep owners out there that aren’t so skilled. You know, the mall crawlers we like to poke fun at on a regular basis.

Sadly, this video posted on Facebook by Rik Tinsley takes that mall crawler stereotype to an entirely new level. And even sadder, the subject of this embarrassing incident is, of course, a Jeep. There’s no telling how exactly this happened, but the lifted Wrangler apparently tried to roll over a little snow pile and got stuck in the process. Insert face palm.

Part of the problem, of course, is that this particular JK appears to be a two-wheel drive model. Which only enhances its mall crawler image. And it dooms this poor Jeep, as the driver just keeps spinning the suspended left rear tire endlessly, to no avail. Meanwhile, a couple of obviously amused onlookers don’t provide a whole lot of help.

And heck, who can blame them? We couldn’t help but laugh watching this feeble attempt, either. But this footage is also just further proof that far too many people haven’t a clue how to drive their Jeeps. Or just know that you shouldn’t try and tackle even the tiniest snow drift in your one-wheel peeler.
