Sip Posted April 21, 2004 Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 Very interesting how easy he rolls it! Way too aggressive on the gas but it didn't seem like such a bad spot either ... but then ... poof ... and over it went By the way, that step is called Golden Stairs and it's on the Golden Spike trail. Video here (~9MB sorry modem users). Link to story on another forum HERE. I just can't wait to hit Moab this May again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sip Posted April 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2004 He was ok after the roll. Only car was almost totalled. He has limited slip differential in the back which doesn't always kick in when you need it in crawling situations (not like a full locker). He was spinning the tire on the other side in the back (the one that goes in the air) so that's why he was getting no torque to the driver side rear wheel. I sometimes have the same problem with the blazer. It is not limited slip but an "automatic" locker. Sometimes it takes some speed to get it to engage after which it is fully locked. But when it doesn't kick in, you only get 1 wheel spinning in the back and one in the front (so it's like 2x4). The rubicon is different though Click the button twice and both front and back are fully locked He just bounced too much and for some reason he decided to turn when going up .... also, I think that heavy wheel and roof rack didn't help much either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
