Some of you may remember that Jeep rollover on Black Bear a few weeks back...

You guys are insane. Looks like fun, but insane. The spouse use to sky dive, Spent a lot of time consuming bloody marys(it was always a sunday jump) waiting for her to hit. The reverse image is seeing this speck suddenly fill your vision, not this light weight guy.

Ahhhh, ya big weenie! Skydiving was the coolest, most fun thing I ever did in my life, until that hard landing that fucked up my back.....

And Black Bear is one of the reasons I converted my '56 Willys CJ5 I'm restoring from 9"x1.5" brakes to 11"x2", with a dual chamber mc and all new parts/lines/hoses, and had Bert drill holes in the drums for heat and water dissipation! Early Jeeps had notoriously piss-poor brakes. The 11" system is far better by orders of magnitude.

I LOLed and cried. Use to have some C.W. 8 tracks but not that one.

Drug and alcohol test on the driver?

Now I wonder if the USFS will head out there and blast, like after the drunk fool rolled on Blanca a long while back and doomed "Jaws 2"

Hope not. Looked like driver error all the way.

Who can spot the FJ40 at the bottom of Tomichi Pass?

His visibility had to be at least as good as the cameras and it could see just fine that he was not on the road. That is why I dont like going with inexperienced drivers. They need to learn their vehicle. how wide it is and where their tires are. Lucky it didnt roll once more and kill them all. Bet nobody want to ride with him again.

I can't believe how lucky they are that it stopped where it did and didn't carry on all the way to the bottom. Glad they are okay

Was up there a few days after the roll. We couldn't figure how he rolled at that spot, but saw window glass on the trail and assumed he got to far left. The road in this area is 1.5 times the width of this jeep. No need to hug the left.

We guessed he was not paying attention and this video confirms it.

Complete driver error. No hidden drops, no hidden obstacle, clear vision of the road, a vehicle very capable of handling the trail...

Wether it was divine intervention or dumb luck, a larger boulder kept the jeep from rolling further. 5 ft left or right and it would have landed in telluride.

Holy crap! Me and my buddies used to go wheeling a lot. It's not for me anymore for fear of something like that happening. I'm guessing Divine intervention.

Pics make it look like he wasn't in danger of continuing down the hill.
