Ed and Rhea are avid 4-wheelers from Phoenix, Arizona but 4-wheel all over the Southwest. In addition to some new rollover clips we got to review their 3 new Videos of Mr. Ed's Excellent Adventures.  The videos are complete with all the screaming, cursing, and yelling that went along with each mishap.

Extreme Rock Crawling
Video Series

Narrated by Mrs. Ed, this series of uncut, unedited trail videos reveals the most extreme rock crawling in Arizona.  Mrs. Ed's uninhibited narration (especially in the excitement of a roll over or near rollover) earns the videos an "R" rating (for language).  Join in the excitement as Mrs. Ed's voice shrills faster and higher at each potential disaster.  Witness parts breakage, sheet metal deformation, winching, rollovers and near rollovers as heavily modified CJs, YJs, TJs and other 4x4s claw their way over impossible obstacles.

mreds0a.jpg (13992 bytes)Mr. Ed does it again on Potato Salad Hill at the 1998 Easter Jeep Safari.  See the Quick Time Video of the action.  At 2 KB/sec the 775 KB video will take about 6 1/2 minutes to download.

The "Firehole" on the Woodpecker Mine 4WD Trail is east of Apache Junction, Arizona. Frank Currie can be seen going over the "Firehole" on the cover of the August, 1997 issue of 4 Wheel Drive & Sport Utility Magazine. This jeep wasn't so lucky. Quick Time Video of the action.

Mr. Ed joined the action by laying his Jeep on its side at another location on Woodpecker. Quick Time Video of the action.

Mr. Ed gives us yet another demonstration of what can happen on Moab's famous Potato Salad Hill. This hill rolls more 4WDs than any other obstacle I know of. As I understand it, no one was hurt in any of these rollovers. Seat belts and roll bars are strongly advised on and off 4WD Trails. Quick Time Video of the action.

The last rollover is on the Lower Terminator 4WD Trail, 30 miles north of Phoenix. Mr. Ed had lots of help getting upright again. Quick Time Video of the action.
