here is mine, right after my wife slid it into and down a barbed wire fence on my driveway.

Fast forward about 45 days, on the day after we got it out of the body shop from the barbed wire excursion. She was going down the hill on our driveway, and careened from ditch to ditch doing two slowspeed revolutions taking out every fender, and bumper.

I will have to admit, our driveway is a little steep, but I found out what she was doing wrong, and she does ok on the hill now

So what was she doing wrong? How did you get her to correct it?

First of all it was glazed ice. When she left home for work at 0630 she just got into the Jeep, and left the house. We live 129 feet above the blacktop county road. At the crest of the hill with the engine still not warm, and in hi idle mode, she put it in 4WD Low and went down. Then she hit the brakes to stay slow. Wrong thing to do as with the engine at hi idle, and the front discs doing 75% of the work and the rear doing the rest, it put her into an immediate front wheel lock, with rear wheels still driving. She started swapping ends, and put the brakes on harder, (still another wrong thing to do) and locked up all 4.(no ABS). The best thing in this situation was to let off the brakes, just tickle them with the transmission in neutral, and go down the hill. Automatic transmissions are bad about this. On glaze Ice I always put it in neutral coming up to a stop. Its like throwing out an anchor. My wife does it now, and is totally convinced.
