How Did This Jeep Gladiator Lose A Wheel?
The Jeep Gladiator was navigating its way through one of Moab’s notorious trails when the incident occurred. For those unfamiliar with Moab, it’s a playground for off-roaders that tests the mettle of the drivers and their vehicles, pushing them to their limits. Its varying trail difficulties offer rocky terrains, steep inclines, and deep sand. The Gladiator was battling through the ‘Hell’s Revenge’ trail, with its intense slick rock and high, steep climbs, when it suddenly lost a wheel. The dramatic event was captured on video, showing the vehicle tipping dangerously to one side as three of its wheels fought to maintain balance.
Joseph Tweedy, who shared the moment on his Instagram added the caption, “The power of someone’s ego… and throttle.”
But if there’s one thing that we can take away from this situation, it’s more the result of operator error than the Gladiator itself. After all, a poor craftsman always blames his tools.
