maybe it was a nomad that drove it up there, eh?

it looks like a bicycle and hiking trail. Is it a legal trail for motorcycles?

It's imbeciles like this idiot who give the off road community a bad name. Just ashamed he didn't contribute to cleaning up the gene pool with this act of azzhatery.

no. the pics and headline seemed to tell the general story: dufus drove a jeep. dufus was lucky he didn't roll himself down the mountain. then volunteers saved the idiot's car.

There's an easier and more obvious solution
Back in the NORRA days several times guys got stuck on the infamous Sisters south of Puertecitos.
Other racers just parked and tipped the stuck dude over the side and down into the arroyo.

That was pretty much what this numbnuts deserved...

What that ridge needs is a sign (in English and Spanish) stating "NO IDIOTS BEYOND THIS POINT!"

from the comment section:

"The name of the team it’s call jalados 4x4. They offer their services to rescue the Jeep. They did an awesome job and also with a lot of precautions were successful to rescue the Jeep with no damage. Thank you team jalados for great team work. Please follow them on Instagram @jalados4x4 for more full videos of this crazy rescue."

IF you had listened to the video, instead of condemning it based only on seeing the video, then the answer is clear.

Thanks Whale-ista for the group name.

I saw the Jeep and the video. It was quite a rescue. Health wise, it isn't in my best interest to hang out with 50 strangers, so I watch from my computer screen.

Dk:
I did not watch or listen to the video. The 2 still photographs told the story. Why would I waste time watching video when the still pics told the story?
Except for your hating Mexico comment, which is still inexplicable...

I don't see Davids point by his comment, as I've wheeled with Spanish-speaking 4WD clubs both here in the US and in Mexico. Los Jalados 4WD club got out there and actually recovered that Jeep which is nothing short of impressive. If I get stuck somewhere crazy, that is the first group that I would call.
