That sure was slow motion for a long time. Was it parked it first or reverse?

I had it in 2nd out of habit.

Took 17 1/2 minutes for it to finally turn the motor over enough to roll.

Jeep ended up being perfectly fine.

Wait was the Jeep in the run position or was it able to turn the motor over just like that?

I assume it’s better to leave it in reverse facing down like that? Lol.

It was able to turn the motor over. It is better to put it in reverse, but more importantly, it should have a parking brake that's 100%.

Mine was worn out. It's still worn out... Mike owns that Jeep now. It'll need replaced one day.

Damn, and to think I tried doing a clutch pump/ dump while rolling down a hill to start and couldn’t get it haha. Only tried 1 or 2 times though.

Say it with me now the way Jeep legal would, but is obvious here:

"The sport bar is not a roll bar…"

The photos very clearly show that.

Look at the state of that jeep. No roll bar in the world would have survived that.

A fully built race cage could possibly survive that. Ever see the evo that went over the edge during a pikes peak race?

I seriously doubt a roll cage would not have handled that, either. Eve the frame is bent to hell. My bet is that it went off a steeper incine than that Pike's Peak crash, too. I think it is an apples to oranges comparison. To go down "several switchbacks" also makes it sound like it went further down than that race crash.

The jeep looks like it went through worst than that.

No truck should be left unattended. if it is a manual it should be in gear with brake on. I found this out young in state collage PA. parked in a lot to grab a pay check the car drifted down the hill into a cop car at a red light transporting a prisoner. I got a ticket for leaving unattended as the brake lever was up. NEVER again.
