We had a very slippery and muddy Sunday last week.
We were driving down a little hill, gaining little bit too much speed. After some point the Jeep started to slide to the right. At this point I lost all steering control and just tried to slow down the vehicle.
Unfortunately it was not enough to prevent the Jeep from going over the bank . And to make it even worse, a huge hole to our right appeared, where we were exactly sliding to. As soon we started to drop into the hole, I turned hard right and accelerated to prevent from rolling.
Well learned from the mistake, fortunately not the hardest way, almost rolled :/
No texting. I was in 4wd. I shouldn't have put background music on. You can hear when it starts to slide. It was pretty long slide way. I guess a video from outside would show it much better.
I always look fwd to seeing y'alls ( that would be you-guys-es) videos, kam.
I thought it was gonna be way worse than it was. I think that I would have been a little nervous of putting it on it's side... the way that you slid off. Glad y'all are okay.
I watched all 4 mins...I was so hoping to see an airbag blow when it started sliding
Minor stuff. The mirror kinda sucks but it happens. Could have been worse if she did decide to pitch more to the passenger side. Look at it this way, the hardtop was fine, that would have been the expensive thing.

Just more proof that our domestic market sucks. You should have just ordered a manual replacement U.S. passenger side mirror and capped off those wires.
Yeah, mine are power. It's an option on 2011+. They are also heated. They come on when I hit the defrost...so it defrosts the rear window and the side mirrors. Useful for me, course, I'm in Canada. And you're right, the price difference between the heated/power mirrors and the manual mirrors isn't enough to warrant giving up the options.
Holy shit, I saw the screen name and thought it said KARN. Glad you all are OK KAM.:bounce:
