I need a ZJ pic on Hells Revenge

[black_zj]

Has a ZJ ever tipped or rolled on the Gate?

Jim, WTF??? no bumper, lift and.... a bug scoop! Your kids watch a DVD player in the back too!

BTW, I want to go up that this year! Change the rules to 31's, 4 in lift, and a front locker as minimums pleeeeease!

Minimums for what?

Grand Slam West

Black ZJ, I never heard of a flop or flip. Not even an XJ. Plenty have laid on their side though. Scott & Matt came close to being on their side in 06. I won't say who the spotter was. Needless to say someone else took over the job.

Back in 06 between my Dad with his camera & Keith with mine & all the photos they took of me coming up they both failed miserably to get a good articulation shot.

Good photos but dad didn't zoom in major crop third photo & Keith missed the flex on all except one but it's not looking through & under. Here's their best shots.

Jake came pretty close to rolling in 04. I know I've seen video of it, dunno about pics though.

I'm sure it's happened, but it hasn't been at GSW.

Not a ZJ, and most have probably seen this, but here is TJ rolling on Hells Gate

Yeah, I have seen some of the videos of guys rolling, but it seems like the LWB vehicles would be fine unless you are just a complete idiot. So at GSW you can't go up unless you have 33's and lockers front and rear?

I have been on my side. Slid off the wall and landed on my rear bumper, which saved the side of the Grand.

never underestimate people.


I did it open on 33's 6-7 years ago. The only problem with open diffs is that if you get slighly off line or you don't happen to make it up the last ledge on your first go, the open diffs will give you a greater chance of hopping further off line, and less chance of driving it out of it.

I still believe you're less likely to break axles with lockers...so there is no excuse

Yepper! It's only sheet metal, give it a go.

Wow Ive always seen pictures and videos from the top, those are the first Ive seen looking up from the bottom. Looks a lot steeper that way

I really want to make a trip out there one year...
