Escape Hatch

[KOKOKO]

Water fording decision gone bad? All were saved. As a new Jeep owner, I was unexpectedly amazed by the use of the freedom top as an escape hatch. Purely awesome.

Flash flood. That went from dry ground to raging river in under a minute. Gotta watch for them in the desert when it rains anywhere within 100 miles of you.

Yeah, keep an open mind. Many parts of the Jeep can be dual purpose!

The problem is here in Arizona it rarely rains so when it does we scurry out to find some mud before it's gone. Gotta be careful where you though. Glad all were safe

That is horrifying.

That really puts a literal twist on the name "Freedom Panel."

First thing that crossed my mind?
We can all say with certainty that the name of the panels serve a dual purpose.

Unfortunately, we have to perform rescues like this every year and nearly every time it rains here in the summer. As a rescuer, this is not fun, but we are glad to do it.....we just wish people made better decisions (and I am not talking about this particular incident...I do not know the details of how they ended up in that position). But, it gets much worse than this sometimes.......that water level is rather easy to navigate for a quick rescue.....but many times another wave of higher water/mud is headed your way, and FAST......

If you have Instagram you can watch the vid here



These guys (Golder Ranch FD) did a stellar job and unfortunately, this jeep is toast which is disappointing since I am actively looking for a Sting-Gray Rubi...dangit
