It's for real
This is a Wrangler that lost it on Black Bear Pass, recently.Our trip wasn't near as crazy, but you can die in two feet up on the loop.

Re: It's for real
So you may have thought I was joking when I recommended going doorless with the seat belt off. That is what saved the passengers and their dog. When we did the loop, I had my exit plan in mind and went over it several times.

Re: It's for real
Friend of mine wasn’t with that group but was 3 vehicles back. He. Said he didn’t see it as it happened but did talk with those in front of him. Off-roading is as safe as you make it. Read the passenger was taken to the hospital but haven’t heard any updates. Glad they did find the second dog.

Re: It's for real
Oh, Lord. David wants to do Black Bear in a Patrol. Wasn't facing down dry land Hippo or an angry elephant enough? Perhaps a black mamba turned free in your grass hut will satisfy your lust for adventure? If you are thinking like I am thinking you are thinking then we need the crew up here. Mdawg, Robert, Justin (hope he has some first aid training) and perhaps River, to recite a final prayer as they sprinkle our ashes over the San Juan's.
But yes, we can get that brake mod. happening. I will get a drone to document your trip while sipping beer at the Brown Dog pizza joint in Telluride.

Re: It's for real
People drove it back in the early 70s with no power steering or power brakes. And it was two way traffic back then. I couldn’t imagine having to back up.plateaucal wrote:Oh, Lord.

Re: It's for real
Just saw this from the accident on Black Bear on Oct 10. Hard to watch. Prayers for those involved.
