Proof that there are Rednecks in every culture.
I have to say, I am impressed at the ingenuity
Should have used a Hummer
I'm thinking a motorbike might have been a better option. …
Didn't they see "The Great Escape"?
Alittle high centered
i did that one time when i was drunk.
THATS CRAZY BRO
kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
“Borders are scratched across the hearts of men,
By strangers with a calm, judicial pen,
And when the borders bleed we watch with dread
The lines of ink along the map turn red”
Marya Mannes
nice click
This is where you just build a ramp on one side, floor it and see how far you can jump it.
um k
Retards!
+Bruce Barrett, you must have grown up with The Dukes of Hazzard.
over the border!!down mexico ways
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
What are we so afraid of?
Are there better ways to accomplish our goals without a fence and Border Patrol? Could the resources and money invested in this area create a more positive impact if invested differently?
the first flying car
'Bro! I have spotted from up here the McDonald's we will be going for lunch!!!'
super car
That what happens when you see a Red Robin.
Looks like we need a higher fence. Must have been designed by the US government…..
We should just have patrols sitting at the boarder with rocket launchers.
Imagines illiterate Yanks loosing off rockets, their own men are in the most danger.
Dumptruck method.
Flying an aircraft would be whole easier 🙂
he should have known better, the break over angles of the XJ are well published.
Ignorance is still big thing in 2013
+Patrick Rich for some reason, I don't think these guys have internet access….. but they do have, well, I was going to say street smarts, but it's probably more like dumb luck.
+Tim Schmidt obviously I'm just messin' but seriously, have you ever seen a better illustration of break over angle in your life?
+Ke Zeng It is easier.
+Patrick Rich haha, that is a good one for sure! My motorcycle is much easier to gear off logs & boulders when I high center it!
Catapult would have been more sensible! Great pics tho.
I thought this was from a +Top Gear Special.
+Mazked Marauder they tried that on Mythbusters…. it did not end well. Search YouTube for Mythbusters human slingshot. You will be entertained, that is certain!
Oh dear ,has it run out of gas? Ha ha
y u no install motion sensors along the border?
I love their enginuity
+Blake Hardison That was punny.
+Guy Kawasaki looked like a good plan to me
They needed more speed.
+Barack Obama should look at this more than worrying about dismantling the 2nd Amendment!
Crossing the border in style
Hell yeah..nothing can't stop us..
XD
Ohereldo
Orale
Mexicans dis days!! jajajajajaja
wah kaya njara h
yeah that is one way of doing it.
Wow that picture with the Jeep on the fence happened in the sector where I live! Crazy stuff!
We don't need borders. They accomplish nothing. Governments should not infringe peoples right to go where they please.
Amazing ….could do that…..
FAIL trollolololo
+David Greifzu You can come here, just be prepared to pay taxes and learn English.
Lmao
Mexican Angry birds…
What is that car is doing
+Kyle Sinclair It was trying to cross the Mexico-US border. It was a success until it high centered. The back was assumed to be carrying bundles of drugs. That's the info we got here.
Bad dream
One little two little three little Mexicans …….. Lol
Anything to avoid paying the damn toll.
What a dumb %&$ of a driver.
That is actually US citizens sneaking INTO Mexico to start a new colony. They figure Mexico will be empty soon and they can start over.
blaa blaa, so old strory… the pic anyways
VAU GOOD PHOTOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What the heck
Seriously??
Same problem that the mars rover had, they both needed a belly track like a tank to get over a stuck positions, that or a power pulley…

This happens a lot more than you think.

Shirt happens eh!
Shirt happens eh!
+Elise Hines i wasn't implying and puns, I genuinely admire their creativity and persistence.
A highly irradiated border about 1 mile wide would stop all this crap!
Amazing insight
I say we annex Mexico, and give them the same minimum wage and tax rate, and take their cheap health care and lower drinking age. There, problem solved.
It should be like the DMZ between N. and S. Korea. Kill zone between the fences. Personally, I would install Quad-50's ever 300 yards with body heat location and see how long it would take for 1) the bodies to pile up, 2) them to quit coming. Anyone reaching our side, is an immediate death sentence. You want to stop something. You must have the will; the means; and the resolve.
+H.G. T. But we're not at war with Mexico.
In the near future you will see the crossing from USA to Mexico.
Jeeps Rule!
