Wonder if one of the dogs knocked it out of gear.
And who in the hell trusts an E brake? On a friggin mountain, shoulda done all that ( minus the damn dogs) and chocked a couple wheels.

On another ( non jeep ) forum the report was the gal was banged up pretty bad.
Nice! My brother took a bone stock Liberty to the Badlands and we ran the heck out of it. It surprised everyone with what it could do!
Good to know. I was hoping to buy an XJ but nothing in my price range was worth the money.
Need to get front/rear tow points, and something besides street tires before venturing off the road...
WOW!!!! can't wait for more pics!!!!! Like that mist of clouds BELOW the Jeeps!!!!JK parking brakes are notorious for having issues. They aren't too hard to adjust but they get corroded, especially when used off-road a lot, and that causes problems. Mine quit holding somewhere around 40k or 50k. I ultimately rebuilt it and it has worked well since, but I NEVER trust it. (Or any other for that matter.) When I stop, it gets shut off, put in gear, and usually at least one rock as a wheel chock, if on more than a mild hill. On boat ramps, I take a chock with me and set it behind the driver side front wheel.
My version of acrophobia would make Black Bear Pass a heart attack, so I'll probably never do it. But if I did, NO FRIGGIN WAY am I getting out of my Jeep.
I'm so glad all involved survived and are healing. I'm also glad it didn't collect the Jeep with the dash cam or anyone else. What a scary deal.
On another note, my brother, boys, friend, and I got home last night after a week on the Appalachian Byway. It was a BLAST! The off-roading wasn't challenging with the exception of a few spots, but the trails and scenery were gorgeous! We unfortunately only made it maybe 1/4 through the Virginia segment. It was getting better and better as we went, too. We'll be going back sometime to finish the Virginia route. We're also plotting and planning on when to get to VT/NH/ME. My brother had so much fun he's selling his Camaro ZL1-1LE to get either a 4 door Rubicon or a Gladiator Rubicon. The old JK impressed the heck out of him! Now the clean up commences...ugggh. My poor JK ate the JLs dust most of the trip, so its a huge mess. Never has the value of a cabin filter been more obvious! I'll post a few pics when I can.

Heading down that way with Hoosier Wranglers next weekend. Lots of fun little roads in that area. I plan to snap pics and record the route on the GPS.Went down to Madison yesterday with the Hendricks County Jeep Club. It was a nice, scenic drive with a stop at Hinkle's Hamburger shop and a short run up Beecamp Road. Gorgeous day for Jeeping around!
