    Sadly, I am one of those people that find amusement in watching these mishaps. As long as no one is injured its all fun. These people who wreck their toys either have money to burn, shit for brains or both. I would never risk abusing a new vehicle of mine like this for recreational fun. To each their own.

    Oldie but goodie... regardless of having a good spotter or not..not knowing your vehicles threshold as far as getting ready to flop is on the driver and on no one else, that driver ovviously did not know his.There are very few I trust 100% when it comes to spotting on the trail

    Exactly... actually there is NO ONE I trust with 100% until they've proven themselves..

    I've had drivers shake off my directions before & thats fine, I make them understand that they're on their own, I excuse myself & become a spectator

    So....where are the Toyota trucks? I thought I was on TacomaWorld but all I see is people rolling jeeps.? And Heart Attack Hill, when it didn't flip the first time and she rolled out of it, why the hell wouldn't she turn downhill to square up? Oh I see the problem with my question.................
