I see what you are talking about with the tire digging in and the torque has to go somewhere.

Good observation, I'm still learning so I missed that. But it makes perfect sense

That's what this Forum is for. I'm just glad we were able to clear this up. She has a nice rig and if all the pink makes her happy then that's cool with us.

She does need to understand things will happen. She should also be looking at breaking something like this as an opportunity to install at least a rear locker, not looking who to blame.

And as a fair warning she should be a little easier on the skinny before something goes really wrong. If that was a different rock face she could have easily ended up on her roof.

Just an update on damage from what I read..

Rear Carrier, spider, ring and pinion broke
Both rear axles twisted

And maybe damage to front ring and pinion



Who would've thought that little climb would be do devastating. Amazing

Sweet mother of god someone please teach this girl how to pick a proper line. If you watch a couple of her other videos you can see that this girl is terrible behind the wheel. Which is not all her fault. All those people she is out with, someone behind the camera and no one has the common sense to say "Hey back up a try a better line." If you watch her Disney, OK video you can see some real poor driving. Someone needs to spot this girl and teach her where she is going wrong. She also needs a little more patience, watching her driving it seems like she just points in the general direction and gases it. She is real hard on equipment it looks like. Poor Jeep

Kind of sad that instead of admitting her mistake (most everyone eventually makes a bad call) she blames a friends free help. I do not think the front DS had anything to do with the rear carnage.

When I finally grenade something from a sudden misguided impulse to use too much skinny pedal, I should call up and blame every friend who ever helped me turn wrenches.

Not. I will laugh at myself, sigh, and open my wallet.

OMG I want to squeeze her neck till her eyeballs pop out. She does not listen to the spotter and she was laughing the whole time and guys were helping her out for FREE because she can't wrench AND she can't drive she blames the free help...nice. My wife read this and watched the videos and she wants to beat her ass for being a retard...pink painted parts?!? UGH

She'll get it fixed, but I foresee a flop if not worse in her future if she doesnt learn how to drive.

I was trying to get a good glimpse if her in the videos...must be decent looking to get a bunch of free help all the time? I like wrenching time to time to help a friend, but constant? Naw.
