How Jeeps Climb 'Verticals' | Carsplainers | Insider Cars
KZhead is filled with viral videos of Jeeps scaling vertical rock walls. While most of these vehicles are modified, there's a reason Jeeps are so often the choice of these extreme off-roaders, or rock crawlers. From their unmatched standard features to the number of ways they can be modified, Jeeps are the perfect tool for crawling.
In this video we refer to rock walls as "vertical walls", this is misstated. While the rock walls shown in the video are steep, they are not at a 90 degree angle. Also, at 4:21 we showed a cyclist hill-climbing easier by shifting upward on their rear gear cluster. A cyclist climbing hills would ideally shift downward on the rear gear cluster, and lower on the bicycle's chainrings. Insider regrets the error.

How Jeeps Climb 'Verticals' | Carsplainers | Insider Cars
I never knew that 45° was interchangeable with 90°
He did say "almost"
@@Chiefshadow4 LOL
New math being taught at the liberal indoctrination centers.
They add the 45° camera tilt. Lol
Every time the story is told, the angle gets steeper until it comes back around full circle. Then it’s just not as impressive.
Should title the video “how to rotate camera angles to exaggerate landscapes”
You’ve obviously never been rock crawling.
@@JacobEcret we've all seen jeeps flipping backwards while climbing, let alone "almost 90 degrees"
@@tea5092 well I agree 90 degrees isn’t legitimate, but people crawl some pretty crazy stuff, 60-75 I’d say
You are so ignorant
@@JacobEcret i really dont think that angle is more than 60, 70 maybe but no more But yeah ive been there im from Australia and the places ive been is like small rocks in silt up a 60 degree angle, its fucked to say the least esspecially with the trees on tracks
I love how he shows a trashed Jeep front end when talking about the hazards of not having a good enough approach angle.. then later shows a bike shifting into higher gears when he's talking about shifting into lower gears and how low gears add more torque...
Low gears are the biggest gears
Yeah I’m not shifting into a smaller gear while I’m mountain biking up a steep trail 😂 I’ll hit that giant gear on my 1x11 and grind my way up
Also sway bars make the car sway 🤭🤭
This guy doesn’t know what’s he’s talking about
The animator/video editor is the one who fucked up.
Poor guy just doing his job reading a script for a voice over not knowing he's going to get ripped to shreds when the video gets uploaded to youtube. Such is life.
@Tony he probably only does voiceovers and narrations as his job and doesn’t rlly care what the video looks like or how informed the script writer is. At the end of the day he probably just wants paid
@@krinos1 Guys with effeminate lisps should look for revenue streams other than narration.
@@20alphabet what about narration for lgbtq documentary lmao
@@krinos1 That'd be okay.
@@20alphabet That's exactly what I was thinking
Almost 90 degrees seems a little much. It only looks like 90 degrees when you use the camera angle in your favor. Overall good video though.
Yup, nothing close to 90 degrees
Agree. I think the speaker wanted to say almost 90%
I was there. It was not more than 35 degree!
@@nelson4437 so that's about a 90% incline, eh?
At best it’s a 45😂
Extreme modifications
Yep
Simple as that
Nope
I watch stock jeeps out out crawl Rubicons all the time you can't buy driving skills
Ok sir
I took an off-roading course and the spotter that guided me over the difficult terrain was key. Also brings a much needed confidence boost.
an offroading course ??
@@scottmichael7178Yes, these exist. They show new 4x4 drivers what their vehicle is capable of. I drove military vehicles for years and I loved riding them hard offroad where I could, so I had to humble myself to pay for a course. It was worth it. It drives differently than a Humvee and I did not understand the features like I thought I did.
@@sgg17003 do you use your own vehicle ? or drive their stuff ? ive never heard of an "offroad course"
Some of the big events will have a skills course. Easter Jeep Safari in Moab has one that you can register for, and Winter 4x4 Jamboree in Hurricane also has a skills trail. I have not taken one, but had a very experienced friend take it, and he said he learned a lot. It did improve his skills.
😆🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Disclaimer: a jeep can not climb vertical walls
Not if you dream REALLY hard about it, then it could.
It could with the right setup and if the vertical wall was about half as tall as the Jeep wheelbase.
This guy IS Issac Newton, i guess
I do 90vert climbs all the time in my Jeep! The key to it is 12 inches of lift and 44inch Boggers. Sometimes I jus climb up and park on the roof at work.
Correct. Only Batman climbs vertical walls, citizen!
4:20 "You select the lower gear" Shows the cyclist selecting the highest gear. Fail on editing there
You only had ONE JOB
i thought so 😂
What??? Look how fast he's peddling. He's in if not on the lowest gear. The cyclist. Yall dont ride or just goofy.
@@Quesadla he shifts to higher gear
@@Quesadla You obviously just ride and don't know anything about your bike, the smaller the sprocket the faster the bike goes
“Demolishing your front end” That Jeep’s front end is the least of its problems.
Ha ha, yes, capability is NOT a weak point on a Jeep though👍
I hope no one actually believes you can climb vertical even near vertical walls. It's extremely dangerous especially in offroad environments where no one is around
That's why we have those awesome videos of people flipping their trucks 😂
12ga blanks firing anchor points, 12,000 lb winch pulling vehicle up, repeat process with 3 points of contact at all times. Drive up Everest to reach where angels reside.
@@forlornhope1116 you're talking about wincing though. Which can get you out of anything. There's no vehicle with some magical low gearing or add-ons that is gonna get you up a vertical wall
I hope no one thinks they can take 4x4 lessons and then go to Moab to climb vertical walls
@@freeradical6390 : Just so you know this is the chute in Sand Hollow state park in southwest UT & not in Moab. It's 339 miles or so from Sand Hollow to Moab.
Camera angles. It's mostly camera angles. I've been to some of those places that are in the video, you can get a minivan up some of those places.
One actually did it was that damn Mercedes minivan
@David Moore they have many vans. Even made an AMG R63 minivan
I didn't see any vertical climbs in this video.When I was growing up,the local landfill had some vertical climbs.I remember watching some guy on a trials bike make-yes a vertical climb that actually had a "lip" at the very top.He must have ridden that up to that lip then forced down on his bars to walk it up over-I'll never forget that.
trials is nutty, some of the things those guys do on bikes just doesnt look possible
Lol whistling diesel climbed that hill with a bone stock 1990 Toyota hilux😅🤣🤣
Yeah only with a welded rear diff
And he drove it crazy😂
I was looking for that hilux comment.
Ok, and??? It was just a demonstration, not a contest.
send this to someone you know who own a toyota lol
Got the bike gears confused there. You use the larger gear cogs not the small gear cogs going uphill. You'll pedal more but it won't feel as hard to do so. The smaller cogs are for flats and downhills.
Exactly was just going to point it out... He got confused with LOWER gears... wherein it's the opposite
you are correct, wrong clip, smaller gear is for high speed
I think he meant to say larger gear at the wheel, smaller gear at the pedals?
The other animated illustration got this backwards too. It’s an easy mistake to make. Even his narration said it’s easier for the engine to turn the wheels when it’s turning slower. He knows what the concepts are but he doesn’t understand them yet. I’m not going to knock the video for him being an enthusiast because we all start out thinking some dumb or incorrect things. But I will knock it over the “close to 90 degrees” thing because that was just complete BS. It isn’t hard to look up what kind of inclines an offroad vehicle can climb unassisted, and it doesn’t get better at steeper climbs with bigger diameter wheels that raise its center of gravity either. Rubicons are pretty cool bone stock from the factory floor though.
Yeah same here, i thought he was an idiot for explaining the wrong thing lol
Lol the difference between "nearly" vertical and vertical is IMMENSE
And with Fiat manufacturing your Jeep parts you know you’re getting the highest quality vehicle for your off roading experience
you know to keep some spares!!!
Fix it again, Tony!
I mean Jeeps wer never known to be reliable to begin with or any Chrysler product for that matter
Highest quality 👌🏽
The recent gigantic Stellaris merger will improve FCA's quality issues, hopefully...
An unlimited budget and professional personal shop helps too. It can be an expensive activity when things things go wrong. And they do go wrong in a hurry. That being said, it doesn't always take a small fortune to build a modestly capable rig and go play. Just know that it can get expensive if you don't know what you are doing in the garage or on the trail.
Words of wisdom right here. People would get mad when we wouldn't let them up the red or black trails. We gave out different stickers for those that trailered in and those that drove in, if you drove in you were not going down those trails because you probably weren't getting parts for a couple of days if you broke something and breaking things was very much in the cards on these trails. A lot of us members had spare Jeeps and spare parts but we would basically give loaner parts to get people off the trails and out of the valley but some people would get real indignant real fast and act like we owed them something for them breaking their own stuff even though they signed a waiver at the gate.
almost lost it when he said "LIGHT WEIGHT machines" lol
Only 2000kgs
Independent suspension: "This makes for a smoother ride, better handling, and *better fuel economy*" Bronco with independent front suspension and worse fuel economy than the Wrangler: "Bonjour" Seriously tho. Fuel economy is not impacted by the suspension design as much as you think. It's overall weight and aerodynamics that plays the bigger parts. I guess you can say a vehicle with an all-independent suspension *can* have a "cleaner" (and thus, more aerodynamic) underside, but when talking about vehicles that tip the scales at 3 tons and with the aerodynamics of a barn, suspension design isn't gonna change much.
@@Michael-fi6ve ah, yes, I did not think of that. Although, with serious off-roaders such as the Bronco, the independent suspension is usually beefed up to the point of having similar weight anyway, and it's not like the regular front wheel drive based CUVs were ever designed with a solid axle in mind. Perhaps a lighter weight vehicle that had both suspension types would be more comparable; only vehicle that comes to mind is the Mustang, which had at one point a solid rear axle before switching to full independent if I'm not mistaken.
@@lanceislateagain Another point as well, IFS can make a vehicle ride much lower than a live axle. The amount of travel IFS needs is minimal, whereas live axles essentially need the entire underside of the car, up to the top of the suspension travel, to move.
For off reading don’t you I want a solid axle for suspension?
@@charliemaybe Serious off-roading, yes, a live axle is best. Independent suspension, while smoother and better handling, is nowhere near as rugged.
How can you compare it with a Bronco, I mean back in my day Ford is all we had, so we walked everywhere...
I never knew why Jeep could rock crawl effortlessly. Thanks for explaining the gear ratio compared to a bicycle; that made a lot of sense.
I'm normally really critical of videos like this but every time I started to get a little annoyed with a description or a segment of the photos not matching the narration, I found myself still kinda impressed with how accurate a lot of the mechanical physics he explains are gonna help someone who doesn't know anything about how much of a mechanical advantage a well thought out build has over an average off-road vehicle. Even though the term should be 'Closer to Vertical' instead of 'Vertical Climbs' In the picture of the 'crashed jeep' as an example of the drawbacks of not having a good approach angle was ridiculous!!!
Tell me you’re not a off-road person without telling me you’re not a off-road person.
for real
I like mud on my car and big tires
I spent $40k on a new Jeep.
I have a land cruiser 80 series with 35” muddies on em.
I have a pickup truck with large tires, a light bar, a loud exhaust, and a lift kit but doesn’t have a spec of mud on it, the tires are low profile, and the lift kits is a frame lift
As per Scotty: it's a Fiat Chrysler product.
🤣🤣🤣
I agree. I have a 2009. Piece of junk.
@@conifergreen2 that's before the fiat merge (2014)
conifergreen2 pretty sure that your Jeep was made before Fiat fully bought Chrysler.....
@@notlogical4016 yes I believe you are correct. I am constantly working on mine. I curse the engineers a lot. So many dumb things. Like heater core replacement for starters.
I like how this video presents solid axle as the pinnacle of human innovation and ingenuity. Like, how did no one think about it before? 🤷♂️
Jeep is the best offroading machine, as long as there are no potholes on the way
@@alkdjfhgks1919 does a gladiator count because I still rather have a defender 90 I’ve driven both
This isn't a jeep. Its overpriced overvalued Italian knockoff Get a Toyota

@@joeythompson5354 interesting how the “Italian knockoff” is made in the USA. Interesting...
Imagine how excited the editors got when they discovered lite brite.
One of the most informative Jeep videos I've seen. Well done!
Now I’ve gotta say I’ve taken my Suzuki ltz 250 up a more or less vertical washout only slightly more thanAn inch of the wheel base of my quad At its peak with a sheer drop off to my left and right side I honestly don’t know how I kept it lined up after I saw what I only narrowly missed when I got to the top and on stable ground. Goes to show that looking before you leap is a lot smarter than feeling lucky you didn’t roll off a cliff or have the bike fall on top of you, if I saw what I was riding into I would never have ever even thought about doing what I did that day, but sometimes the risk you take then pays off in the future and this my friends is where my lesson learned got me: don’t take unnecessary risks without knowing the full extent of what the consequences could be. I’ve been more cautious than ever before checking every single hill or any sketchy part of a trail way before I “just send it”. Be safe and enjoy the ride no matter what you’re cruising around on and don’t go pushing your limits further than you should, and if you do just scope out the area you will be in and the place you’re gonna do something risky first before you get yourself hurt all because of an unobserved obstacle in your path. All I’m saying is ride smart get your area checked out then ride like a mad man and have all the fun you can after you know the lay of the land and you are familiar with your paths you’ll be riding on and you’ll hardly ever have a bad time
I don't think the writers know the definition of "vertical". most of these drives were much more horizontal
o.o looked vertical to me
As of my old YJ i also got quick disconnect sway bars. I used an angle grinder
If I'm not mistaken, that's where WhistlinDiesel tried to climb the Unbreakable Hilux backwards. 0:05
Looks about the same, there's no way it even close to 90 degrees though
For sure , that too in a bone stock. Ngl, Jeep& Land Rover is no where near when compared to Hiluxes and LCs
Climbing >45° inclines? Awesome!! Time to buy one and sit in traffic
The best car science video ever! It is only 6 MINUTES long, and information is useful and VERY simple. Even a first grader can understand. You're the best!
As a guy getting into cars I did appreciate that
Great video and fantastic explanations. Thank you
Actually, it can come down to the spotter. With a decent rig, all it takes is a good spotter and someone in the driver's seat that can follow directions. The toughest obstacles I've climbed, i had no idea where i was. I was focused on my spotters hand and only realized i was up when he dropped his hand.
1:07 Minor Scratches, some dents, over $20k in modifications, my loss your gain. No low-balls.
For completion's sake ya gotta throw in a "Firm on price. I know what I got."
Let me explain to you a little something about how dinosaurs work
If you just *listen* to the video without *watching* it as well, it becomes a pretty decent explanation of the various components that make a good offroad vehicle :)
I love this video. Thank you so much.
I can feel the jeep owners being offended by this video “Jeepsplaining” what their jeeps can do.
1:20 I wouldn’t say the g wagon typically has independent front suspension they only switched to it in 2018 so all g wagons from 1979-2017 have a solid axle from and rear
I wouldn't exactly say a G Wagon is an off-road SUV
@@tahoeben I definitely would say they are, there actually really good off road a bit heavy and expensive but still better then at least 90% of the vehicles on the road right now.
That was great . Thanks for making the video.
G Wagon has only had IFS for a few years, before 2018 they had solid/live axles as well
Except 99% jeep owners are mall crawlers with skimpy tires and colorful lights
The person with the 88 wrangler: Bonjor
And those headlight shrouds that make the car look like an angry cartoon.
I hate thozsjeep owners, fakers
@4:20 the video is backwards, and falls of the rails. Who ever made this video doesn't understand that the gearing and operation of a bicycles gears.
It's definitley not going in reverse. Look at the ground and the spin of the wheel. And it was changing gears, not falling off the rail
The bike gear was wrong… should be the opposite?
It's an illusion. If you focus you can make it go either way.
@@strawsparky33 They aren't talking about the bike going backwards. The rider was shifting into higher gears, not lower. That's why they said the video has it backwards
@@ericsson_motorsports higher gears is lower teeth count. So yeah. Its not reversed.
Absolutely fantastic! 👍😀
Mercedes G Wagon had front solid axles for ages, just in recent times a few variants got the independent front suspension.
So at what angles does the oil sump stop working?
theres no way this dude just called jeeps "lightweight"
Awesome video 💯💯💯 these look like so much fun
beautiful car
Physics: Exist Jeep: * imma bout to end this Ideology’s whole career*
Exaggeration:exists This guy: I'm about to end this man's whole career

After seeing a stock Toyota Hilux from the late 80s go up and down that exact slope in forward and reverse, im not sure if I'll ever be building a jeep.
A jeep with a Cummins diesel would perform the same if not better as you saw. Many have been wanting a good tough diesel sold on a jeep model.
@@DurzoBlunts im in my little fantasy, im not importing a hilux to trash it.... I'll get an 85 yota pickup with straight axel and 22re 😉
Great video. I learned a lot!
I'm not into cars or anything like that but this is really intriguing and fascinating.
... it shows the bike going into it's highest gear...
Yup lol
Open differentials give the same torque to each wheel, not more torque to the spinning wheel. It just takes less torque to spin it than a wheel with traction, so the traction wheels is stationary, but it still is trying to spin. Limited/locking diffs give the same speed to each wheel, unequal power.
Open differentials only give the same amount of power to each wheel if both wheels need the same amount of power to be spun. In this example with one wheel in the air, the other wheel on the ground wouldn't move one bit, meaning that no power goes to the grounded wheel and all power goes to the airborne wheel.
@@reflex3843 he said torque, not power.
We don't have a lot of rocks to climb here in East Texas but we do have a lot of mud . I just bought a 2024 Subaru Outback it has almost 9" of ground clearance with stock tires , but it doesn't have a pumpkin hanging down in the middle to hang or hicenter and that's a big plus in mud . I also have a 1967 IH Scout that has only 60K miles and the last time it was driven on the street was 1968 . 90% of those miles was off road . The Outback can't do what the Scout can but it sure does ride better lol . Jeeps are awesome .
Really well made vid!
whatever this guy is saying is a lie, these guys clearly went into creative mode and made their cars fly up the wall, or turned on spider man hacks. jokes aside pretty cool vid, Idk if I'd have the guts to do this, maybe be in the passenger seat but not the driver.
I think I've seen a stock 1940s military Jeep navigate that slope or a similar one just fine, a bit of wheelspin but it was running on proper thin tyres not these modern thick things.
Magic of lightweight and small size
I like the Cable hookups on the front of the jeep, where the photoshop deleted cable is attached... GJ.
Loving mine , I go places I never dreamed of !!!
Whistlin diesel do it the same in one stock Toyota Hilux.
Had a welded diff
It's just insane how they can literally climb a vertical wall without even spinning the wheels like it's nothing. Amazing vehicles, I need one in my life lol, I mean....I'm never gonna get one I gotta be honest but a man can dream right?!
Get a TJ if you ever do get one, the new ones are garbage IMO ✌🏻
Get a wrangler
@@ohnoao9847 If you can find a 90's Cherokee (XJ) they are solid, too.
Don't just dream it, make it real. I have a JK and it's phenomenal off-road.
hey, they showed my old team! just a current jeep factory employee seeing this! (used to put the grills on for anyone curious)
I love physics and it amazes me that the coefficient of friction is high enough to keep the rubicon moving up! Must be really sticky tires
As of the 2022 model defender is superior to jeep on average in different off road terrains but u got to admit that on rock clawing the jeep is the clear winner and the defender Is the clear winner for comfort and dirt trails and for also being a more comfortable family car
The defender is a touring vehicle, made for comfort over long distances, while the jeep is a hardcore offroad vehicle, made for extreme trails
@@joshuamarshman101 it ain't a touring car it's a proper off roader with modern creature comforts and electronic assistance if needed
@@eliteffsquadron9932 pls tel me you don't think the new defender is a "proper off-roader". It is a freaking unibody with independent suspension on all four corners and most of them come with massive rims.
@@eliteffsquadron9932 the amount of work you need to do to put 35s on the new defender is silly, while the work to put 35s on a Wrangler is nothing except getting the tires and rims themselves. If you want to put 37s or larger on a Wranger you upgrade and the driveline and lift the suspension. if you want to put 37s on the new defender, well, you can't
Oh boy. You really think a Land Rover on IFS and IRS suspension can even compete with Jeep? I think a new defender is just barely more capable than a damn Ford Explorer lol
I've been kinda of a Jeep freak all my life, on road, off road, plowing, towing, etc... and I've owned quite a few. Well, I just bought an FJ. The reason was that my last two Jeeps both rotted badly no matter how diligent I was to wash and treat the frame and body panels. My 1993 door hinges rotted apart, while the underneath was perfect. It was only five years old at the time. My 1997 was rotting, then I added structural steel to the frame and rear suspension members, and really tried to keep up with it every year. Two months ago it couldn't pass state inspection. So, I was checking out an FJ and made the switch. I know they rust too, but this one is solid. So, let's see what happens.
Far north where they salt roads? Yah gotta wash that ish off
@@DurzoBlunts You can wash all you want, but around here they pre treat with liquid salt, then sand salt mix and all of this dries into a fine powder that gets into every crack and crevice of your vehicle. What's amazing in my case was the great uncarriage condition, while all the hidden seams were rotting out.
Good luck with that. Any vehicles gonna rot from the salt. Doesn’t matter what brand name is on your front end
You would make a GREAT teacher.
How does the oil system works at 90 deg angle? Even typical dry sump will not handle it, not to mention factory setup.
If the approach angle was 44° then in no way it's able to take on way more than that.
I’m not spending over $50 k to force my vehicle to climb rocks unless it was an emergency like living on a dirt road. I’m broke though so ‘four wheeling’ or ‘rock climbing’ isn’t my thing. lol
I’d get an off-road car and push it off a cliff
I love the jeep wrangler. It looks like it is always smiling with that cute face
Very interesting and enlightening
I like how he says most rock crawlers put bigger tires on their vehicle and a lift kit, he forgot 1 ton axles, bigger breaks, lockers, drive shafts, steering system etc…
It's everything that you can't see that makes a difference.
@@joshuamarshman101 yeah kinda felt the video was misleading for some people I don’t think people comprehend the cost and skill to do that,
Yes it is a combination of things, not just one thing.
Judging by the comments, people need to take a freshman level course in international mergers and acquisitions.
Very impressive
I’m glad I’m not the only one at 4:20 who noticed the bike gears are going the wrong way to being lowered!
You know I once climbed a vertical tree in my gocart of course I crashed into it and ended up in a vertical stance does that count 😂😂
This is basically an advertisement for the Lite Brite KZhead channel.
pretty good stuff
WOW!!! jeeps are epic! :)
I have 2 Jeeps, but a 1/10 scale RC.. 💪😅
No stock Jeep has been used to climb... But independent suspension HMMWV can.
Jeep literally climbed this thing with a stock grand cherokee, wranglers do it all day long. Every jeep with a trail rated badge is capable enough to go up the Rubicon or moab in factory form

That mid bar means no matter how jacked up your jeep is, you can only cover the distance between the bar and the ground depending on the size of your tires/wheels.
