Jeep Top Speed Video: • I RUINED my Jeep Wrangler

[@russellmorris5517]

Hey it's Russ from the Sand Dunes. Every time I leave my GoPro Home something interesting happens. A quick back story, the only reason we arrived there at that given moment was I forgot my keys to unlock my bike and being an hour out (two hours both ways) decided to cut the lock off which set me back 45 min. I started experimenting with KZbin last year (Bro Mo & The Express) and I would be honored if you would be my 17th subscriber or is that 16th I loose count (hehe). I am going to release my last riding video soon, and I learned allot from watching yours. Feel free to critic, you obviously understand this avenue. It was very interesting meeting you, Rich and I will invite you to some of the RPMs camp fires. Your cars will make it to where we camp. The Camp Fires are wholly unique when the whole MOB is together. Anyway it was nice meeting you and Happy Trails.

Good men for helping him out! I'm happy to subscribe to your channel my friend, and hope a lot of James's Subs do too! Safe riding from the UK! 😉

[@russellmorris5517]

Luke, before we saw him running back we debated if it was stolen or not, but came to the conclusion it was not. We thought about playing a joke on him by camouflaging the car... but if the wind blew the tumble weeds might have scratched it, can't do that to any one's ride. All it all his bad decision made for a good story. A fun ending to a great Day! And thanks for Conor McGregor love that guy!

Wow, it is really hard to realize that this was 2.5 years ago. Now you (at this exact moment in time of 5:53pm CST on August 28, 2020) own a big piece of land for your house, a twin turbo Lamborghini Gallardo V-10 with the rare gated 6-speed manual, a Lamborghini Aventador, a Ferrari F430 Challenge race car (which is now for sale for $90,000 on consignment at Makes and Models), a Ferrari 458 spider, a Jeep Gladiator with a Hellcat engine, and Shelby Baja Ford Raptor. You just sold a 2005 Ford GT (we all told you not to) a purple wide body 2019 Toyota Supra, a Focus RS, and a 2020 purple C8 Corvette (which you only had for 2 months??????) It has truly been an unbelievable roller coaster of car purchases. I guess the next video you are finally picking up a Hyper car and we don't know which one yet. Is it a Bugatti Veyron, is it a Pagani Zonda, is it a Koenigsegg OR is it some other car?

[@ericssonhughes319]

It's a Bugatti. Sorry for the spoilers.

[@christopherbmw5]

I am going to start off by saying that I am a Wrangler (JK) owner, also I like what you have done to your JKU. So there are one of two things that any one that off roads needs either a shovel or a winch. You have already put a light bar on the r8 why not put a winch as well. You taken the r8 to madmax style already so just keep it going. But for real just by a shovel they can be very handy. I guess you could also buy a trailer and trailer the r8 out there with the JKU then you would have a recovery rig. Chris.

1-swing it in reverse (higher clearance, you can take more of a chance on your bumper, ground clearance; j=swing it, then drive as your momentum carries you back to a screeching halt, then forward and you're golden! 2-do what you tried, but wayy more camber on the wheels when you enter, AND don't brake so much! Let your momentum and the clearance get you there! Once you were on only three wheels in the air, and had that flat angle entry, on that soft ground, you were done zo! :)
