Just saw it; White TJ on 35s with a rear cargo rack. 2 men from SoCal dead because neither were wearing a seatbelt. Looks like it happened near gatekeeper.

SEATBELTS, SEATBELTS, SEATBELTS!!!

Looks like the sport-cage held the Jeep together pretty good, might have lived if they were buckled-up. Seems like most roll-overs I see on the internet where there are fatalities or serious injuries - the occupants are NOT wearing seatbelts. Whats the use of a $600 cage if you don't wear the seatbelt?

I'm considering 5-point harnesses in my future.

This is very sad, AJ text me last night asking me if i knew if anyone went up to Freeway and why, I text a few people to let them know, it almost looks like a TJ i seen yesterday, it looks either silver or the color of Jeremy's

This is very sad!!!

Serious bummer, especially for their families. And it most likely would have been avoided with wearing their seat belts.

Aftermarket belts are a very good idea in a trail rig.

Some of you heard about the roll over from our group at last years panamint valley days. The driver and passengers survived because of the seat belts. They tumbled down a 175 cliff. Seat belts are a requirement for all our rides. .
