Holy hell. It just kept going, and going, and going. . .

I kept thinking he was going to land on all fours. Then scrolled a bit more, and a bit more, and a bit more. Laughing

Good series of pictures, i expected them to stop when he was on his side the first time, the again when he was on his roof, then again on his tires........

That trail was slick this weekend. This is my jeep before making it to committed Saturday

Yeah, it was very slick. That was one of 4 roll overs on Sunday. Sorry about your roll over, looks like you got a fair bit of damage.

Yeah we had 2 on saturday, 1 other CJ on one of the first ledges, then me.

Mine is the Hood (i have another), Fenders (blue torch fab tube fenders were ordered early last week) and windshield frame which i found one for $20, and the cross bars for the cage. But a full cages was next on the list of mods, we will just move it up sooner now

so its not really bad, looks worse than I think it really is. if i weight about 10 lbs more it probably would not have gone over, I was balanced on 2 wheels for about 25 seconds or so

He was fine. Probably still a bit sore. The windshield and windshield frame were the worst. There was a bit of damage to the hood and one of the rock sliders got tweeked, but he drove it off the trail. It was an excellent demonstration as to why you should have a real roll cage in your Jeep.
