@cairnsguy22 Well i can understand why someone would think that.. but the real story is as I described. My rig wasn't up to the task without an experienced and patient spotter helping me. I thought the steering would last long enough to do it but it wasn't. I have never claimed to be some world class wheeler.. but I aint bad either. I have a learned alot from some friends that actually do it for a living and brought me a long way in the last 5 years.And yes, I will be at EJS this year. ;)
@Guyll21 As stated before here in the comments.. At the time, the rig did not have hydro assist.. just factory PS which didn't last long on aired down 40's. The spotter was giving these commands because I couldn't execute the prior command properly as any assisted steering was all but lost by the exit of the hot tub. The dynamics of the situation was a rig with blown power steering in a relatively tight hot tub with a hard right exit that would have normally been a pretty easy obstacle.
@erikhoeffner All the turning was my fault as I did not have hydro assist steering at the time.. trying to turn air downed 40" tires on the stock steering system was not easy so I could not execute his commands very good. In reality I probably should not have even attempted this obstacle. I blew 2 steering pumps that week.
@spankybrandonf I couldn't agree more! I would have NEVER made it through that hot tub without him spotting. I was still using stock power steering and had not yet upgraded to hydro assist so it made turning the wheel impossible without some sort of forward or rearward movement. The spotter understood this and guided me through patiently and perfectly.
@enjoipandas They are "Limb Risers" (made by River Raider). Where I usually wheel there are lots of trees and tight trails, the wires lift the limbs up over the rig so they don't smack the windshield or smack you in the face through the windows.
@paintballer653 Yes, Mashed Potato in Moab.. Grinding gears?? there wasn't really any shifting to even grind gears.Was all done in 4-lo 1st and a couple times I shifted into reverse. You might be hearing the slack in the chain in the t-case.
@MrFito76 A stock one might have a little bit of an issue with this obstacle because of the break-over point and dragging the rear while trying to go up.. but it would only take slight modifications to do it.
@CaviarCartel420 Naahh you got it all wrong.. its an 80k dollar vehicle. :flipoff: Don't knock it until you try it... its more of a challenge than driving your junk to the mall and climbing parking curbs.
@HITMONEY I couldn't help but laugh when I read that DBs comment. If only he knew lmao, plannin' on taking KONG to this year's EJS? I'm probably gonna miss it yet again.
I don't have it on the tube, but for your info...'03 Rubi w/6.5 in. LA, 1 in. BL, 40" MT/R Kevlar, hydro st. assist....and too much to list. The funny thing is I have half the amount of $ in my rig than my buddy with a similarly equipped '04. I done all the work myself, even fabricated my lift. That was my point. People driving around in rigs they don't even understand. Not in this case, but 90% of the time.
Whenever I see these videos I think of those old school Camel Trophy guys just thrashing their Disco's through all those obstacles. Dudes getting out and helping to push those things through mud...on 31" tires. Now people make a surgical science out getting through rocks. Awesome Jeep. I would love one of those 4 door.
@HITMONEY It's the truth of which this video is evidence. I know how much a rig like that costs. I know that whoever is driving hasn't a clue to the dynamics of the situation they're in, because the spotter had to voice way too many obvious maneuvers.
I was a truckjeep/you name it driver for the army so I know my shit. First rule: get off, walk it, and they (try to) drive it. Don´t leave anything or any corner or any rock to chance.
@quadkid4 Their limb raiser I think it's called. Just to move branches and such out of the way. I know scars are cool, but if you could avoid getting your paint scratch why not...
thats some sick jeep thats my dream to make it look like that im 16 i have a jeep wrangler jk 2007 unlimited. i wanted to know to fix it up like how u have it how much dose it cost?
Again, the spotter was absolutely on point, and very experienced... It was I that may that more difficult than it should have been as I had just about no power steering which is no fun on aired down 40's.
great video - lemme know what you think of mine, I'm more of an amature wheeler but I film all my adventures plus we go to a TON of jeep events and the angles are awesome!~
at the end .. the guy driving was like .. fuck ur driver horseshit .. im flooring it
lol. I caught that too.
EXCELLENT job to both the driver and spotter here!
What a beautiful Jeep
good constant instruction. unlike some who only speak when things are just about to go wrong or already have :)
That'll tighten the ol' sphincter right up!!

@johninloveindaytona
thank you, but trust me.. it wasnt easy at all. I virtually had no steering in there. This year will be a different story. :)
@Guyll21
Right.
Don't you have some video games to play or something besides knocking someone whos history you know nothing about?
@HITMONEY I couldn't help but laugh when I read that DBs comment. If only he knew lmao, plannin' on taking KONG to this year's EJS? I'm probably gonna miss it yet again.
Maybe im just missing something here but what the fuck is the point of this? driving your nice jeep in a hole and practically getting it stuck? yay??
JEEPS ARE THA SSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIhiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
@HITMONEY oo ok i thought it looked famaliar... maybe what i heard was you shifting into first? or it could be the slack on the t-case

Awesome Jeep. I would love one of those 4 door.
looks like the driver got sick of listening to the spotter lol. what was the point of doing all that? picture oportunities?
@HITMONEY It's the truth of which this video is evidence. I know how much a rig like that costs. I know that whoever is driving hasn't a clue to the dynamics of the situation they're in, because the spotter had to voice way too many obvious maneuvers.
They are limb risers.. not real useful in Moab, but very useful back here on the east coast.

thats some sick jeep thats my dream to make it look like that im 16 i have a jeep wrangler jk 2007 unlimited. i wanted to know to fix it up like how u have it how much dose it cost?
Yeah the entire break down of the Jeep is in the comments below, doesn't anyone read comments first before asking questions?? Silly goose hahaha
I have to give you credit, I'd be soiling myself if I was in the driver seat. Great JK, awesome video, and thanks for leading me to the forum!
im sorry for insulting you then you make a very valid point but alot of people dont know how or have the resources for fabrication
Did you change any gearing after the lift. And second that is the coolest soft top I have ever seen, where did you get that
@HITMONEY badass JK and i didnt think your going to make it but its a jeep and nothing can stop them. epic climb!
Could you please tell me where u got that top and back window from I really like the way that looks..... Thanks
that looks awesome! can anyone tell me the purpose of the 2 wires running from the hood to the windshield?
Dude, I want want WANT those flares! But... they're so expensive =(
i like how every one but the driver is stearing that jeep i would hate doing this with outher people :P
What brand of tops are you using?
I've never seen a fully enclosed duster windjammer combo, looks good!
Big time props to the driver and the awesome rig, but gotta say the spotter was SPOT ON! Awesome vid!
Brand name of those fender flares??
@HITMONEY That explanation wasn't in the description, but my gripe still rings true in 90% of cases.
i see some strings going from the bumper to the top frame of the windshield, what are those for?
@Spankyshooter
I run the MBRP Off Road Black Series
alright man I get you like my jeep but it's time to stop taking videos and give it back. haha
nice job man.... I would look at that jack on the spare.... could cause u some problems...
how to get the back cut off window like that. What company!!! that is exactly what i want.
Brand new Jeep and it is already rusting on the bottom. I hate it how every car does that.
Awesome Video. Quik question.. Where did you get your side nets for the rear of the jeep?
@enjoipandas clothes hanger :D I kid, save the windshield from low hanging branches
bran new JK sport 2dr 4.5 lift on 35or 37'' OR a 2006 tj rubicon 6.5inch lift on 37
@HITMONEY How much did all that cost you ? jeep+mods ? Im thinking about financing one
Dude SICK JEEP, is it manual? it's hard to tell but if it is, very nice driving.
That was a damned good spotter, and an even better driver. Nice machine brother!
Very nice ride. Almost thought it was going to tip on the rear tire for a bit.
I favor my passenger hand but sometimes like to mix it up with my driver. :)
this is moab right? and was that you grinding gears?
Yes, I have MBRP Black Series exhaust system.
@PCTekKid
Tires are just aired down. Normal.
dam, I could not do that on my jk!
good job
@HITMONEY What kind of modifications are we talking about - $, Thanks.
Thanks! The top is made by Off Road Heros.
@ffsebass
They are made by Raingler. ;)
Your a fucking beast!!! Oh shit gotta love a jeep!! I love my jeep!!!
What did you use to black out your headlights? Sick Jeep. Great job.
i would rather not wheel than have someone tell me every move to make
Are your wheels flat or gloss black? Jw. Thanks. And nice jeep!!!
Awesomly built jeep, and great job driving as well as spotting.
Do the 6 cyl engines have enough torque/power when off road???
I really didnt think it would make it. Specially in water. Wow!
@HITMONEY Thats really interesting. Thanks and happy wheeling.
That's one of the best jeep i've ever seen. Good luck with it
Hey man what suspension and snorkel is that. I really like it!
Again, the spotter was absolutely on point, and very experienced... It was I that may that more difficult than it should have been as I had just about no power steering which is no fun on aired down 40's.
Incredible! I just could not. Good for Jeep!
how high is ur lift and how big r ur tires?
can u do that with a stock rubicon? Or it will break. thanks
Absolutely sick! Nicely done, Dennis.
RC
There are satin black powder coat.
wow thought he was gonna tip for sure
Thats pretty technical. I love jeeps theyre so capable.
Best rig on You Tube, and I watch a lot of youtube!!
@btp98w
Thank you very much.
Did you change the exhaust? If yes which one is it?
That is amazing I didn't think it was gonna happen
It's made by Off Road Heros
great video - lemme know what you think of mine, I'm more of an amature wheeler but I film all my adventures plus we go to a TON of jeep events and the angles are awesome!~
Wouldn't happen to have a cardomain site would ya
Any idea where I can get some specs on this jeep?
@spankybrandonf it was almost like cheating eh :)
What kind of top is that??? where can I buy it?
I would be scared shitless going up that hill
@MrINVADER727 thats funny lol
comment 221: 1/30/21' Sat cat back day.
Yes, the axles were replace with Currie Rock Jock 60's and geared to 5.38
The top is made by Off Road Heroes. ;)
