Show us your jeep high centered. Extra points for spun tires.

Here's one at the off road park in Holly, MI. Not actually high centered, but close to it.

While doing a off trail hill climb we got stuck a few weeks ago.

What I thought was a dirt berm was actually a rock wall.

A couple nice jeeps there guys. 

One thing I have always appreciated about them is it does not usually take much to get them moving again. Compared to other vehicles I have gotten stuck they are easy.

Another, "I shoulda given it more gas" photo:

I think it’s hard to claim that bog was hard to see. Getting high centered is a very common result of playing in one.

I never claimed the "bog" was hard to see... I'm claiming the rock I bellied up on was impossible to see.

If "high-centered" was a word . .  that photo above would be the Webster's dictionary's description of it. LOL
