EJS 2016 Flat Fender Run Wipe Out Hill

Flat Fender Run at Wipe Out Hill at the 50th Easter Jeep Safari in Moab Utah

[@repairitagain]

So much fun watching you guys having a blast. Just checking out the latest 2017 vids of mostly the same crew, and going back viewing a few in earlier years. Cool to see there are still some Scorpions out there getting used!

[@allinmota4787]

Sick vid

[@coldbore1444]

Come on man, install a roll bar.

[@ferrari_guy3570]

@1:36 i would love to build a flat fender just like that someday! I wonder what year it is?

[@heind52]

I can't believe they let him wheel w/o a roll bar

[@Themenace6786]

heind52 i cant believe with all that custom fab and big ass tires that jeep could barely make it cause it wasnt using lockers..

[@madbrit]

This M38 was driven by Soni Honneger who was one of the very first rock crawling competition competitors and a great fabricator. Unfortunately he blew his ARBs earlier in the day so he did the best with what he had.

[@AlRaisi777]

That is one super coooool Humveeee

[@BBDOGGER]

Coolest I have ever seen!

[@frankinjeep1194]

BBDOGGER it's not a hummv it's called a scorpion

[@Steve_Seese]

That HMMWV is so sick!!! .... and was that Fred Williams ???

[@madbrit]

This is a one-off custom vehicle based on a Hummer called a Sorpion. It was driven by Soni Honneger's son, Soni was driving his M38 that day. Soni was one of the very first rock crawling competition competitors and a great fabricator.

[@rogermetzger7335]

Am I supposed to believe the vehicle featured in the last minute of this video is based on a flatfender Jeep? If so, is it one of a kind? Or is there a kit for making copies?

[@madbrit]

This is a one-off custom vehicle based on a Hummer. It was driven by Soni Honneger's son who was driving an M38 that day. Soni was one of the very first rock crawling competition competitors and a great fabricator. See him at about 2:10

[@rogermetzger7335]

Thanks.

[@BBDOGGER]

Where can I see more vid of that humvee? Thx

[@madbrit]

I wish I knew. The owner used to have a web site but haven't seen it for awhile. Look for Sonny Henneger, (I think that's how you spell his name)

[@supersportimpalass]

Scorpion MK IV

[@inthemountainswithmeachum3256]

Humvees are such badass crawlers

[@nathansunnaa7222]

I agree with the jk guy I have a tj which I chopped/flattened the fenders lol

[@jdenmark1287]

The two guys running the largest tires appear to have the hardest time overcoming that obstacle. Is it drive error, taking a harder line, or perhaps not as effective?

[@madbrit]

The stock flat fenders were taking a different line than the vehicles with larger tires. Soni's Flatfender blew his ARB lockers so struggled up the high ledge. The last vehicle was a Scorpion and had no trouble. It really depends on the obstacle and driver. The lightweight stock flat fenders do extremely well and when equipped with a locker are fantastic and show the mega Dollar buggies a thin or two.

[@jdenmark1287]

madbritwillys56 right on it’s hard to tell just watching video. Thanks for posting.

[@clarencemainjk9231]

Lockers and gears.

[@varun009]

I love watching guys in flatfenders and 20 year old landcruisers smoke the other guys in their fancy new JLUs with more aftermarket parts than stock.

[@varun009]

Was the "hummer" an urban gorilla body kit?

[@madbrit]

If memory serves it is a Scorpion built by Song Henneger

[@smacdiesel]

Would not climb those rocks without a roll bar, during WWII a lot of fatalities occurred with original Willys Jeeps due to roll over, the stats are horrific. This could have been prevented if the War Dept. would have instilled a roll bar requirement in the original design.

[@Jarod1941]

If you put a rollbar in a Willys, it would be sacrilege. They didn't come equipped with one and therefore don't belong on a flat fender.

[@moabman6803]

BionicForester19 I've seen a Willys in Moab rollover, and it had a roll bar. Not installing one because you want to capture a look is putting safety second to style. When someone rolls over and dies, u can explain to the wife how a roll bar doesn't look right on a Willys. I'm sure she will be greatly comforted and happy that u promote such ideology

[@Jarod1941]

MoabMan Preaching to the choir dude. I ride Wranglers with full roll cages and harnesses. All my comment above does is say what the general belief of most flat fender drivers think.

[@moabman6803]

BionicForester19 oh OK. I thought u had a flat fender and refused to but a rollbar on it or something. I get perturbed when I see people that are so careless. It's really easy to roll in Moab as u probably know. Anyway have a nice day.

[@Jarod1941]

MoabMan It's nice to see flat fender owners getting smarter. On recent trips to Moab etc, I'm seeing a lot of minimalist but structurally strong caging going on. They follow the lines of the MB-18's and CJ 2's soft top rails. Pretty cool. 👍

[@ntme9]

Well this is refreshing, I'm getting sick of seeing JKs... and I own on LOL!

[@noenvyforbirds5477]

it does'nt take +75k to have tons of fun in a jeep! plus i would feel less guilty bangin up something not so new.

[@Ken19700]

Does Motortrend's ultimate adventure jeep count? It's an all aftermarket build with an aluminum CJ7 body. Also, what is that thing at 3:19?

[@atypical6487]

Its called a scorpion.

[@Jarod1941]

It most certainly does count. It IS a Jeep. As mentioned, it's a CJ-7. Aftermarket components or not, it's still a Jeep. And built by Fred William's to boot. The other hunk of weird metal is a highly modded Humvee. I don't know the specs but a lot has been done to it (such as the S.A.S.). We Jeepers don't discriminate. Make a 4x4 Ford Pinto and come along for a ride with us

[@atypical6487]

+Secured Circus I believe it is titled as a mid 70s CJ jeep. but it is not in anyway like a hmmwv. I cant tell what generation chassis it is, but it is a undoubtedly a Scorpion. There is some serious engineering going on there that is not apparent. Most notably the diagonal forced articulation of the axles (front left goes up, rear right is forced down).

[@Jarod1941]

+Del Mcmillen "diagonal forced articulation"??? That would be called articulation. Simple. No fancy terms. Simple fr & rr solid axle articulation. Nothing special or fancy. Come along for a ride with me and watch it happen to my Jeep's axles. It's sign of a well working suspension system. The rear follows the front but in reverse. Too many IFS Humvee's stuck in your head.

[@atypical6487]

In the intrest of dispelling any misinformation... The "hmmwv like" vehicle in this video is a varaint of the scorpion chasis probably a scorpion mk2. It is in no way shape or form a hmmwv based asside from the obvious aesthetics of the thing. allot more going on there than some mods. It is a fully custom vehicle. google it.

[@shevilihabibi8895]

1:49 tire size pls

[@colewebb4643]

great video seen jeep's hummvee' s a scorpion now when do we get to see dues and a 1/2 a tank a bradley assault vehicle 😂😂😂😆 C😎😎L

[@alfredomendoza6246]

Your not going to be clapping when those pos jeeps flip over with them flat fenders.. So cool brah

[@kenjohnson4423]

I am stopping at 45s, not roll bars, thats so stupid

[@BBDOGGER]

Do you jump the fuck out if it goes over? Big balls old school dudes.

[@madbrit]

They are Willys, they never go over and we are too old to jump.

[@BBDOGGER]

That is why you are real men. I would need a roll of toilet paper to ride with you.

[@justsomebody8461]

so many haters on the flat fenders, 99% of all these Jeep "Roll bars" will collapse and kill you anyways you backyard fabbers never learn.. Even the FACTORY jeep one will crush completely.
