I had a close call last weekend I almost rolled it. I was trying to climb a ledge wet and I could not hook up to save my life. So I tired to "Bump it" as we all say and I kept my foot on the gas too long and did not cut it fast enough. Well I got lucky and she flexed just enough to keep me from rolling. I'm not sure how I feel about rocks and rain now but I did make it to the top so thats got to count for something.

Anyone Ever have a close call like this?

Here is the Pic. I wonder what that is on a RTI ramp....lol

Respect for wet rocks.

I have had a few like that and it just makes me think a little more about how I approach obstacles. The big question is what did you learn?

If I did I'd have a more substantial cage.

I see hardly any articulation in that picture

The picture was a still taken from a video. So that's me before the Jeep settled. I'm on my phone now but once I get to my laptop I'll post another picture of when the suspension settled.

I learned you should probably pick another line if you have to "bump it" and to only finess the throttle in wet conditions on rocks. Throttle will get you in trouble real quick.

Here is the picture after all the movement had stopped. They actually winched me down in fear of rolling back and rolling over. It was a "Pucker" moment....

I was just messing with ya buddy.
That's the type of terrain in used to wheeling. Most of the stuff we climb are waterfalls going down into a creek. It's definitely a little different when it's slippery.
Here's a screenshot I just took from a video I have. It's from far away but the right side is offset from the left and about a 4 foot vertical ledge so when you bump it it gets a little crazy lol.
