White Mountain Off Road Trail (3N17) In Big Bear

Small group of Jeeps on the 3N17 White Mountain off-road trail from near Lucerne Valley. We had five Jeep JKs, one Jeep TJ and an old Jeep CJ.
White Mountain is moderately difficult with several steep hills and a few extra credit sections including "Suicide Hill" which is very steep and very off-camber at the top. About mid-way through the trail, just above where 3N56 meets 3N17, the white Jeep TJ slipped off a rock and nearly rolled over. We had to quickly strap him to two other Jeeps to get it stable and then recover him. Looking back we probably would have strapped the Jeep differently, but in the heat of the moment you do what you gotta do - On Monday morning, everyone is an expert..
For an easy trail it was an exciting day in Big Bear!

I don't know why these didn't generate more views. These are fun videos

One thing I love about the off road community vs the racing community. Off road community EVERY ONE helps each other.

Wow can’t imagine doing it going up going down was scary enough

One of the most exciting videos yet was nice to see all the jeers working together to help one of their own from what could have been a serious situation.

That's sketchy! I remember seeing a new roll like that when I was a kid. Dude tried to back around on a steep hill he couldn't get up. He was in a CJ5. I had a CJ-7 in high school, so I love you buddy's rig! Good job extracting that Jeep without too much damage! Also, good job camerawoman! She's the real MVP!

Excellent recovery with the white TJ, good day of wheeling

This is why you wheel in groups. A couple of my buddy’s and I have pushed the limits by ourselves and it’s definitely not a good idea. If that dude in the white Jeep was alone he would’ve been toast. Always hit the trails prepared!

That older jeep os no joke. Looks like I'm gonna have to do some upgrades as far as lockers on my WJ after seeing this.

Having a good spotter and picking the right line can make all the difference. It can be a game of inches....

Someone got lucky! Great job by everyone to help out.

Holy crap Ken got close to flopping or even worse rolling down the hill. The good Karma Jeep gods were looking out for him. Nice team effort on the recovery.

[GoProseph]

wow. that first recovery effort was impressive. how the heck did he get the jeep like that ? haha. Good job guys.

[garygrinkevich]

This is what its about! Great winch save, cannot tell you how many guys panic and gun the throttle when shit goes sideways always wheel with a buddy!!!

[rogerwixom]
