I didn't want to whore up smithz's Jeep thread but I wanted you to all see this so you know how a REAL truck does it.

The best part is how he walks away after he just flipped his family over. Who cares if the wife and kids are ok. I know the vid is grainy but you can definitley see there are people in there with him.

I think he was just trying to get that rear wheel off the ground and tipped it over on accident.

No he was trying to show off flex / articulation, which a Hummer isn't really good at as shown. I'm not sure why he wanted to try and tilt it afterwards.

Yeah, the weird thing is that to show off your flex you actually want the wheels to be on the ground. The problem was the right front had no flex and was probably 5 feet off the ground and he decided to put a bunch of weight on that corner.

That is absolutely the most retarded douchebag on the planet.

Nate is right. The whole purpose of the ramp is to be able to measure how far up the ramp you can get before any of the wheels come off the ground. Not to see how far up you can go on two wheels. What a fucking moron.

That's nuts to flip it with people inside.

Here's some pics of what you are supposed to do. Notice all 4 wheels still on the ground...

They were giving him the high five because those are the type of people (yuppie types) who can EASILY replace something of that price magnitude if they've F*'d it up pulling (attempting anyway) absolutely asynine (sp?) stunts!

Ever seen somebody in a brand new Caddy Escalade EXT (the truck) with a brand new ATV in the back, towing a HUGE Bayliner....... with the truck sitting on 22" chrome rims!

WTF?

Oh well... I'm not filthy rich so I wouldn't know!

The Hummer? He was simply displaying what a saucebag he could be. Boy did he succeed, eh?

By the way... The swaybar disconnects are here... so hopefully I don't Hummer over on the ramp like he did. :rofl:
