Pssst, SNAP, Crunch, Shatter

That was the order that things went in, on my Moab trip.

Awesome time, but I had some exciting experiences in the Rover, First I got TWO flats on Cliffhanger, then the next day on Gold Bar/Golden Spike, I broke a passenger side inner axle shaft. Then as I tried to pull over the wall on Gold Bar I had to take a strap because 3 wheelin' it wasn't working and we were in a hurry.

Are you ready for this????


I got pulled up and droped my rear passenger into a hole, sending the ROVER TUMBLING DOWN ON ITS SIDE!!!!

I ROLED!! YEE HAAAAW!!!!


The Rover, which I am know calling Lucky (because off all the bad luck that I was having), faired pretty well, busted rear passenger side glass, smashed hood and fender, and smashed rear corner, and a little dent on the edge of the roof.



Pictures to come SOON!

Video is a maybe, there were some guys from Twin Falls that may have gotten it on video, Pics are for sure, just have to load them up on the Puter.

I LOVE the Rover!!

I was trying lines that I would have NEVER tried in the YJ. The ride and flex is WORLDS better than the YJ, and now I have an excuse to bob the back of it.

The only problem is that I need to fix the radio that came flying out of the dash! And maybe next time I will be sure to wear my seat belt, stupid thing was locked when i got back in the Rover so I just decided to go without, well lets just put it this way -----> me inside the Rover ----->

get a lap belt from the center of the back seat of another Rover, and bolt that in place so you can use just the lap belt when you are wheelin, and the regular one when you are not.

yaya

shoulder belts suck!

nice effect with the rolling guy, and talking about rolling. clever.

Yeah no kidding.


Actually it was a VERY slow roll, so I had time to brace myself and I even stayed in the seat. Now to deal with the flying stereo.

just don't ever pull a SRN when in a tip over!

when he starts to tip, he thinks he can hold up his zuk with his super-geeky stregth......this DOESN'T work pokey, so don't try it.

ha ha ha ha ha "super geeky" ha ha

That sucks....

I second Hickey on the lapbelts for diggin'...

I got some 3" racing belts and I tell you what... what a comfort increase over the stockers... the wider belt cuts into you less...

Let this be an opportunity for you to make some improvements....

Did you drive it home?

 

[demon jeep]

Man it would have been worth skippy scool to see all of that.
How did they get a wrecker out to you to get you back on your wheels becouse a Jeep is not heavy enough to pull that tank over.

 

[Moon]

Dude That suck you rolled. I don't care how cool everone thinks it is that you rolled your new family ride Rolling any thing and getting damage that has to be fixed sucks no matter who you are. Expecialy someone that dosnt have alot of funds, and that is about everone of us except Shawn
Sorry I didnt make it, next time for sure. How'd the wagie do? who was the strap man this trip? Toby get crazy anywere?

 

[Hickey]
