That is something else. I once saw a rock do something similar to a Gand Cherokee (lifted with M/Ts). The tire lost a bead and it ripped off the rear bumper molding.

That is just incredible. How in the heck did he manage to wedge that massive boulder in there? Lucky for him there was not more damage. Disco's may have helped in getting it out of there.

i don't have any more pics than this since it wasn't mine, but the jeep is a rubicon unlimited, running 35s with a 2.5 inch budget lift......he was climbing an incline and as he went up and over this boulder he made the mistake of cutting his wheel hard left to come off of it and when he did the rig slipped down over top the boulder up into the space behind the wheel as you see it....miraculously there was no damage to the tire or wheel just what was mentioned earlier....he has the offroad evolution c2 axle gussets installed and i'm guessing those probably saved any damage from occurring to the axle given how this thing was wedged in....that's the story kids....
