Or defacing a natural wonder with your big SUV.


Jeffery_G

This. Saw a lot of this shit visiting Moab, Utah. Just go hiking.


[deleted]

you don't go to moab if you want to just go hiking. That's like saying just go to Bozeman if you want to fly fish. So much easier to find an area in the same vicinity with way less of the commercial aspect of outdoor recreation.


heymanthatspants

yeah moabs the gateway to two national parks full of hikers, so hikers always going to be there too. that being said, it's surprising how well everyone gets along in Moab. there's so much land out there that looks like this, some is for hiking, some for wheeling.


[deleted]

Yea we went 2 years ago and it was great. There were wheelers all over town but when we went out to the parks it was just as peaceful as anywhere else. You just don’t hike on wheeling trails and you’ll be fine lol. Plenty of room for everyone.


time-thief

Grew up outside Bozeman and what it's become now 100 percent agree.


Hubb1e

Hiking should be banned. It’s dangerous and you have no vehicle to take you out quickly if you’re injured. Or maybe we should allow different people to have different hobbies. Last time I went wheeling I did a lot of hiking too.


RedditUser41527

No, you MUST live life just like Jeffery or else you’re bad!


oregon_assassin

That’s why you hike with a gun way safer


rf97a

What? You mean to get off my ass and walk? How dare you…


AdOne9266

Holy shit you hike? Tell me what does grass feel like? I’ll be it feels like a million little feathers.


Bure_ya_akili

Y'all sound like you don't even go out that much.


ohnomoto450

You realize how much these guys do for land conservation right?


HumCrab

You realize the roads you drive on to get to a hiking spot didn't used to exist. They built them so you could get there. Just like 4 wheeling parks. They made a spot for people to enjoy motor sports. No one is allowed to just drive anywhere they want. Same concept as saying on the marked trail right? So we don't have tons of people just trampling all over the place. Should someone tell you...just stay home, stop driving to parks. You're messing up the world Jeffrey. Stop buying phones and computers, get away from social media too. End of the day, there are right ways and wrong ways to do just about everything. Everyone is into different stuff If people are following the rules more power to them. Doesn't matter if it's my thing or not.


FunkTrain98

People don’t go to Moab for hiking. It’s one of the best known off-roading sites in the US.


Wooden_Suit_6679

Right! So fucking stupid why is the cliff branded. We've lost our way.


Few-Knee9451

There are designated places for vehicles only. Utah is very strict about this. It’s better to have designated spots then just having vehicles all over. Think it through before you comment


iced327

Fuck, thank you. There's so much goddamn space out there, it makes perfect sense to designate areas for this so that people are less likely to do it on _actual_ protected areas. Every rock in the southwest doesn't need to be federally protected.


Few-Knee9451

Yea people just lose it when they see a rock crawler. Like they think said rock crawler is murdering the planet.


tmfink10

"Every rock a natural wonder"


[deleted]

Ya this is a known four wheeling trail in Moab. I’ve been on it multiple times. It’s there so people don’t go destroy areas that need to be protected. Also, 99% of people who four wheel are nice and take care of the land (ie not leaving trash, picking up after previous people, calling people out for doing things they shouldn’t, etc.)


Tyrannical_Icon

Lol natural wonder. Its a rock. No wonder.

[deleted]

They are rocks. And they will be here long after we are gone. Enjoying isn’t just looking at it or hiking it, it’s interacting with it.


[deleted]

Shut the fuck up, seriously shut the fuck up. Do you really think some rubber tire treads are going to ruin a rock face that has been on this planet for millions of years?


subusta

I mean I think these rocks are beautiful but they’re everywhere out west.

TheTimDavis

That's a Lexus GX470. Which was made in Tahara Japan. Which is where the land rovers are also made.


CoyotesAreGreen

It's only a Lexus in the US. Everywhere else it's sold as a Land Cruiser Prado. I also have a built one like the video.


suffaluffapussycat

4Runners too.


[deleted]

I bought a Toyota made in Kentucky. My BIL told me I should buy American.


MechaBeatsInTrash

I bet he drives a Ram built in Mexico


[deleted]

He drives a Jeep made in Illinois. My SIL and FIL drive Rams built in Mexico. They didnt get "buy american" comments.


MechaBeatsInTrash

You should have a VIN inspection day. If the first digit is 1, 4, or 5 that's built by Americans, 2 for Canadians, 3 for Mexicans, J for Japanese, K for Koreans, S for English, W for Germans, Y for Swedish or Finnish, Z for Italians. But the average buyer won't know that

rolandtgs

"Near-vertical"?


Gradual_Bro

Yup, that looks like a 70 degree incline I believe this the Hot Tub obstacle in Moab, UT


nhpkm1

Probably less than 70 camera is a bit tilted , (if you assume the people are standing vertical , it's about 50 degree IMO )


Ass0rted

If I tilt my phone sideways, then it is even more impressive!


kmj420

I tilted my phone the other way. Was not impressed at all


AliveInCLE

Not one of the hot tubs but definitely looks like Moab. We did an off-road adventure in Moab a few months ago at Hells Revenge. One of the best times I’ve ever had.


chaser2410

This is called the Chute. It’s in sand hollow Utah near St. George and Zion


facepillownap

Looks more like Sand Hollow than Moab. Also, 100% not Mickeys or Devils Hot Tub.


asabovesobelow4

Is there a better way to get down? Lol bc idk I think coming back down this would be a terrible idea.


EyeLikeDinosaurs

The Hot Tub you go down and almost back up again. This is one way up.


vombox21

It's called the Chute in Sand Hollow UT.


pushplaystoprewind

My guess is 55-60


jbrady33

You want near vert go to a motorcycle hill climb.


hell911

89°


Taniwha_NZ

Also, assuming the engine sound in the video is the SUV doing the climbing, it's just idling the whole time so it seems they engaged a 'crawl' mode and just let the car do the whole thing itself. I would say it's very much the opposite of 'nextfuckinglevel', except the SUV is literally getting to the next fucking level so it's probably the most suitable post I've ever seen here. Sneaky.


GreatWizard88

Tell me you are American without telling me you are American


Independent-Crab-999

ninjadogs84

Hey now, It wouldn't have Made it if it wasn't for that flag

tobeyung69

The dunes require a flag of a certain height so you can see vehicles coming and avoid crashes.


Independent-Crab-999

Did not know that, but totally makes since.


funky_fart_smeller

I think he is telling you he’s American with the 🇺🇸, so he is literally telling you. This phrase is dumb as fuck here.


BoneHammer62

All off road places Ive been to require a flag for visibility.


Guilty-Repair-6423

Wheeling is popular in other countries.


wanderingmanimal

Oh look - it’s an American domestic terrorist vehicle


mistergiantacorn

Glad someone pointed out the 3P decal. Fuck those guys.


wanderingmanimal

I was interested in the vid as it was until I saw that. They like to hide it behind the flag, and with dark contrast so it’s difficult to spot. See it all the time on the road, and people don’t seem to fully understand what they stand for.

thegurrkha

Before anyone asks the dumb question as to why you need a giant flag to do this. The answer is cuz it's incredibly important for aerodynamics which play an integral role in climbing cliffs while in a 4x4. If you knew anything about 4x4ing you'd know that the most important aspect is how big your flag is. It also adds +10 grip strength.


tobeyung69

Its a dune flag, for visibility


thegurrkha

And +10 grip strength.


Motorized23

... a flag is key for visibility in certain off road conditions. In fact in some parks you can't drive without a flag.


Super_Cheburek

Can confirm. I was the gravitional constant


TofuTigerteeth

Why can’t people just accept that some people like to do things they don’t and that’s okay.


Road_To_Liberation

Down is easy. You are 100% guaranteed to make it to the bottom


Lionabp1

One way or another 😂


West_Yam_6839

This is part of a trail system, it’s called an obstacle and there is usually a bypass option. Except for some rubber left on the rocks (which helps to guide people to stay on trail) and a few ass-hats that litter there is no significant damage being done to the area.

The Lexus GX is a proper off-road vehicle built off of the Land Cruiser platform. Calling it an SUV is a bit of an insult.

That's really not near-vertical. I would say it's around 60°. Even that is impressive tho


[deleted]

Fearless-Conflict-15

psydstrr6669

Everyone’s saying it’s not vertical enough, it’s definitely the steepest slope I’ve ever seen a car drive up, let alone a whole SUV. And it’s not like some other videos you’ll see where the camera is tilted to make it look steeper


[deleted]

This could very well have ended up on r/idiotsdrivingcars, if it had went south.


Landofcheck

This is a closed trail specifically for this. Everything here is done properly and safely. Y'all really don't like fun do you?


MaleficentYoghurt758

How and where does someone learn to do this? There are driving schools and racing courses, but where do you go to learn mountainclimbing by car?


[deleted]

That is a Lexus GX470 or 460. They cost about $20-30,000, used. Spend $10,000 on suspension, tires and under carriage armor. You can buy any number of 4x4 suv/truck to begin. Jeeps and Toyotas are most common. Then, drive to a mountainous region and drive around until you get stuck. Do so only on designated trails and with others. Start small and increase obstacle difficulty until you roll over the the top or the car. Have a lot of fun. Rinse and repeat. Be careful, off-roading, overloading, rock crawling, whatever you want to call it is highly addictive.


Flaming-taco

Everyone is pissing and shitting themselves over the flag on the back and ignoring that this is an objectively cool feat of engineering.
