This was taken off of the Rubicon Owners Site. Both driver and passenger walked away with minmal damage. Stock rollcage!

And I swear, the guy is more interested in beadlocks than a cage. :shock:
Okay, we're a little crazy to have a Duramax for a daily driver. But if we go off our meds, we might wind up in a Prius.

Wow... And no, not wow in the sense of how well the vehicle held up and the occupants were able to walk away, but wow in the sense that I am still amazed at the lack of driver skill and common sense that is so abundant out there on our trails. Had this guy spent a fraction of the money he's got into that Rubi on fuel for some actual seat time, he probably would not have made the line choice he did and the outcome would have been a nice little descent down a nice little hill. But hey, at least he's keeping the economy moving, right?
Yep, I've wheeled one of those, too...

I'm with you Toby. HE is what I refer to when I speak of "Jeep people". No thought for safety or knowledge on how thing actually work. They go on places like JU then just kick back with their visa and the quadratech site ordering the latest and greatest bolt on crap so they can look hardcore. Problem is the vehicle is far more capable than the drivers abilities and crap like this happens.


Oh and no .worry I feel the same about "Toyota people" too so Io'm not racist. :lol:

Oh, there is a discussion of what whent wrong. Most think it is time for him to thank his higher power.
This is the second time that particular Rubi has been totaled (but last time was on the freeway and was not his fault.)
Even if he is a cat he is running out of lives.

Even the person running the video camera knew he was going to roll.

That may be one of the dumbest things I have ever seen.
