This Grand Cherokee Broke Everything

We were contacted about a Grand Cherokee out on Golden Spike Trail near the Double Whammy Obstacle. They said it had lost the rear end while climbing an obstacle, then they were towing it out and broke the front end, so they left it and got a ride out. It was during EJS so we had to contend with traffic. So we came in through Rusty Nail to get ahead of the group and came out on Gold Bar Rim. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.

I wouldn't discribe that WJ as anywhere near stock. Looks like 6"+ of lift, on long arms, and a number of other mods. Given the spare being on the rear hatch, I'd expect to see a tank tuck(deleting the spare tire well, with a custom fuel tank skid, gains a good 8" of clearance behind the rear axle. With such significant mods, odd to see stock axles(front at least, although it is the rear D35/D44(special one only used in WJ's and Dodge Vipers), that's known to be the weak axle given the WJ's weight.

When I watch these videos, I wince every time I see Trail Mater bash or smash into some nearly unachievable obstacle, and she just keeps on plowing through. It's pretty impressive to see how well she takes it all in stride and is able to stay in one piece. Any modern truck would be scrap if they tried to wheel like this on a daily basis. Guess that's what keeps her and Blue in business.
