Lion's Back was closed in 2004, a few years before I moved to Moab after retireing, so this video has to be well over 18 years. I drove it in 2003 in a Jeep on a trip when living in TN. Really no where near as scary as it looks.
Jesus Christ. The brass balls that driver has. Stupidity always makes the most amazing videos. Thank god you didn't go flipping down like I've seen ones. Love this video.
If you want to see that, you should watch the old video of the K5 Blazer that loses control coming down (and survives). I'm sure it's on RUclips somewhere.
That looks terrifying, even from the safety of my couch. From what I understand, they closed the Lion's Back to the public. Too many accidents/deaths. There's a milder, smaller version of it somewhere near by you can still go on thought.
If you're the boss and telling whoever the driver is to drive that car for advertising purpose, you say: "dude, you gotta make it or else you're done!"
ahhh yes.....the view at the top is breathtaking. Especially when you're up there at night. To see the once sleepy town of Moab in the early 1990's from up there....and then to lay down your camping bag and sleep under the stars. That could be done then....not so sure about now. Unless the back way up is still accessible. Will have to do it again before somebody gets the bright idea of putting a Taco Bell at the top. ZUK
no there is a way up the back thats a few small versions of this, theres an almost flat bit inbetween the sections and the little ones are not near as steep.
Buddy and I did it one night drunker than a boatload of sailors on their first night in port. Yes, at night ! And if you think that was nuts, wait until you hear this... We did it in a 1963 Cadillac ! Word is if you look close, you can still see our turds scattered around in the rocks. We both lost 25 pounds that night !
BigBendBroncos Don't know if you've ever been to Moab but the traction is ridiculous. It's like driving on sandpaper, you notice he didn't so much as squeak a tire coming down. We drove my old junkheap Ramcharger from West Texas to Moab last year, wheeled for a week and had a blast. Wanted to go again this year but life keeps getting in the way.
Oh my gosh!!! You actually got out of jeep??? I went up and down this before and I wouldn't dare to get out haha!!! Yes It was very scary for me, my heart kept pounding HARD!!!! Even my legs were shaky Haha!!! I haven't been back since 2005.....
Nice jeep looked like it creeped down it good they have pretty good hold back ik ours is a 95 jeep renegade and its been through about a little of all of different surfaces it still runs like new....cant beat a jeep :) IM A DIE HARD JEEP LOVER
Good question. It's on private property and this was done after the close - there isn't any rubber on the rock any more like when it was open. Maybe they poached it?
@mhslacrosse69 - as far as I know it's closed now. The video was taken in 2006, and I still can't forget how scary it was. I've done it the first time in 2003 and it was even scarier .
Tracks can be built for 4x4 use and 4x4s otherwise exist for the purpose of getting to otherwise inaccessible areas for a good reason, or at least doing so using a route that won't be damaged either physically or visually.
"Hey I got an idea!" "What is that?" "Let's drive a Jeep off a steep mountain and record it!" "Woah, what if you lose control, roll over and die?" "Who gives a shit, it'll be RIGHTEOUS!"
1:23 If you want to skip till the actual "Driving down" part
Thanks!!!! That was a long warm up.
Thank you!!
Not all heros wear capes!

Skip and Buffy arguing was the best part of the video.
I think Buffy made the best point. Skip was a of an ass. LoL

That looks crazy--wouldn't wanna try that in the rain!
Was anyone else expecting to see him drive down full speed? 😂
If you want to see that, you should watch the old video of the K5 Blazer that loses control coming down (and survives). I'm sure it's on RUclips somewhere.
+techojappa it is. and it's awesome. lol.
look up Moab-the crash or lions back either will take you to the video
RoughNeck Shiner mji&uuuhnn nnvvvccvfffff
Two words: Fuck That!!!!
kamu itu ngomong apa ??
Low range, slow and steady. Piece of cake with a great view.
“I wish this person the best.”
Lol, that was like a eulogy!
Darth Vader, get off the camera controls.
Keep up the good work….cowards like me need the inspiration.
oh hell no i would need at least 3 pairs of underwear to do that

WEAK
It’s closed to public because it’s on private property. Always has been private property as far as I know.
That is so awesome!!! I was holding my breath the entire time!!!!
4 low in 1st. He has a perfectly good relationship with his brakes.
I could barely breathe watching that! Awesome!!!
Good job! That looks awesome!

piece of cake....!!!
i did that 8 times with my grandma as navigator
Wow that's a beautiful formation!
just imagine your breaks get broken up there :P
I have balls but not those balls. My ole lady would be having a panic attack.
Bucket Brigade to the rescue....that's pretty damn funny dispenser...would've been nice to see you drive up !
He must of been so happy to have gotten to the end in one piece
Que ,Bruto que bárbaro no me canso de ver esa acrobacia !!!!!! 👏🚘🚖🚍🚐🗻🏔🏞
Wowww, that is SO worth risking your life for.
That was Epic Great Video
when he zoomed out it was much less scary looking.
I was at Easter Jeep safari in 2000 when a 4Runner went off the right side, the shell of the 4Runner is still there.
Nice driving!
no there is a way up the back thats a few small versions of this, theres an almost flat bit inbetween the sections and the little ones are not near as steep.
How did you get the car up there in such a good starting direction???????
Best jeep commercial ever
I got dizzy just watching. Does anyone know the grade of the slope I'm thinking somewhere around 70 degrees which is crazy.
impressive my man, impressive!
That is nuts... did you have special equiptment on that?
Did it in 2000 in a farabee rented stock TJ. It was awesome. Think I did an Austin Powers turn around at the top, didn't wanna go near the edge. ;-)
Buddy and I did it one night drunker than a boatload of sailors on their first night in port. Yes, at night !
And if you think that was nuts, wait until you hear this... We did it in a 1963 Cadillac !

friggin awesome! my blood starts pumping every time i see anything steep, but holy shit!
I don't I breathed while watching that descent. BALLS!! Chrome plated, hardened steel balls!
Wow!!! It's impressionant!!!
going down is quite often scarier than going up-at least with dirtbiking. PROPS DUDE
You've got some serious balls, mate.
I get that we know a vehicle will hold on this thing. It's still very ballsy to do this. My question is, who was the first to do this?
Awesome!
Hell na. I could never. Thats some balls sir
Not me jack!! I like my life and my Bronco way to much to do that. :)

Nice job!
You have a balls !! Really good

I've done it the first time in 2003 and it was even scarier .
I wish it was still open to the public!!!!
"That might distract him" Ohh dont worry about it!
it must have been difficult to drive that jeep down that steep incline
That was insane! But cool.
🙏 A man with lion heart,only doing this.......salute boss from India 🇮🇳.
Balls of steel sir!

You sir have balls for days
Hey do you think my corrola will survive im planning to go soon?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
i love the power of wrangler
outstanding!!!!! Been there --Done it!!
"Hey I got an idea!"
"What is that?"
"Let's drive a Jeep off a steep mountain and record it!"
"Woah, what if you lose control, roll over and die?"
"Who gives a shit, it'll be RIGHTEOUS!"
Ahhhhhhhh! (that's me yelling at the top of my lungs if i were this person!) awesome ride.
@ev838 how do you think they got up there in the first place? there is only one way up.
Wait is it still open? I though it got closed down awhile back because people were wrecking?
im an avid jeeper and im not so sure that i would do this....lol
+Antonius Maximus
I'll bet you would Antonius....Take it 50 feet at a time and pretty soon you're on top at the largest flat spot of all.
ZUK
balls of steel!
Is there a big enough turnaround up there?
Condos being built here now. No more Lions Back. RIP
Lions back is privately owned. Question is...would you pay to drive up and down it? If so, how much?
What if you met someone coming the other way in a big rig?
Is it steeper than Baby Lions Back, or just much bigger?
Remember the episode of rescue 911 that had that truck go off the side of this mountain? That was wild!
just the vid alone got my adrenaline pumping, must look pretty crazy at the top lol
I thought they closed this? Or is it on private land by permission only?
Nice job..
I have been up some hills and down some hills in my time but that is something right there
DANG THATS AWESOME...HELL YEA
But now how the hell did you get up there in the first place?!! O.O
I've been up it before it's not bad if the driver is experienced
He drove up there.
Ofir Edri what is the second scariest thing you have done?
Tell us again how you are an expert on the matter and have been there.
Now all we need is the guy in the Crown Vic to show up!
Jeep has been holding out in their commercials
the question is how the hell did he get up there in the first place?
He drove up there.
Braver than me...I found the White Rim Trail exciting enough!
I didnt even know there was a hill this god damn big untill this video
Exactly how steep is it?
Ahhh hell to the NO NO NOOOO
Wow. That guy's wife.
How did he get there? :)
He drove up it.
I think i left my iphone there can we double back?
My hunch is 210482fmj is 14 years old and his rock crawling experience is limited to R/C cars in his step dad's back yard...
Jeeze,hats off to you fella...thats fekkin scarey!
wild, you have balls my friend
the juevos on that guy!! whew!
You uploaded this in 2010. Did they reopen Lion's Back or is this an old video?
