Almost rolled it this weekend. (pictures)

[The Stranger]

I was on the obstacle right before the nest. I backed up just a little and my rear driver tire slipped and over I went. I can't believe that I didn't go completely over or hit anything. The truck was just balanced. I set it down and continued up the rocks. We got some pictures so I figure that I'd share.

And while I'm here I'll post a couple others random pictures.

Nice pics. It looks like you probably could have driven out of it from there, but not a bad idea to take the strap rather than risk it. I need to get this build done quick, your pics make me want to go wheeling bad!

We just threw the strap around the bumper for some security. I ended up just driving it through.

We got a couple months left before snow starts falling, get that thing done! My truck is getting ripped apart and getting new suspension again here in a couple weeks as well. Hopefully it wont be down for the rest of the summer.

Yes it is, and it is working perfectly. I swapped it out 2 days before we hit the trail. Thank you again.

And thanks for posting in this thread, it reminded me that I forgot to send that package out. It is here on my desk and you'll probably get it tomorrow.

Coincidence . . . . . . . . . . I think not. Well probably. But anyway you or someone else from here should come out and show me how to correctly get through that thing. Granted this is my first year wheeling, and I'm only on 33's but hell, it probably took me 20-30 minutes to get past it.

As soon as we drove up on it I figured it had to have a name,

Yea, Im usually running the Jeep in my avatar, but its locked in the garage until it loses about 500 lbs of frame and sheet metal to make up for the additional wieght it gained in tires and axles. (hope to do a build thread) The 4runner was running sick but it did all right. its a future family trail rig.

I made a few stabs at it on the far left and kept sliding right and sticking my diff, so I went far right climbed the wall with my front, cranked left and sidehilled over the wall. little tippie but was smooth and worked. as you can tell from the dents, Im not usually concerned with tip-overs. Every rig is a little different and seat time is the key.
