^^^^ Ouch

I ordered 33x12.5 Dura Tracs today. And my lift is on the way.
I will have to put the 4.11 gears that are still in the box in the jeep after Friday.

My buddy and I were running the Chinaman Gulch trail. We were on the last obstacle. I think this section of rock is called "The notch." We trying to go up the far right side. He has a locked up YJ on 35s and he couldn't make it. So of course I had to try. I got up on the rock with my passenger side up on top of the rock on the right and my driver crested the rock on the left. Probelm was when my rear passenger side slid down in the notch sending me into the crack and on my side!!!



Like a good friend and spotter, he got the whole thing on video.

We than ran his winch line from a neighboring tree, with a snatch block and righted the thing. Needles to say I was expecting smashed stuff...

My rear bow on the soft top was bent, and the front fender was pushed in a little. I have already fixed both. I am minus a little paint. Oh well. My Xenon flares poped right back into shape. The rock sliders did their job as well.

You might have made it if you went at it a little slower but it looks like the momentum took you down. That's painful to watch but at least you're ok and the damage was minimal.

Thanks for sharing... even though these situations are hard to watch, they can be used as a great learning experience for others.

Don't pay attention to don... He's just balding and everyone knows how people who are balding get.

Personally I use my debit card for 99% of plastic purchases. Usually my online purchases are made with my credit card (which has a low limit), but that's only if I have the money in my account to make the purchase. Then I usually pay the credit card off with in a few days. That way it doesn't get any build up of costs and such.

I was going to cut the reinforcement plates for my frame today, but I decided to work on homework that's due for tomorrow and go to my club's meeting instead.
