    Saw a rollover accident in the Westminster Promidade movie theater parking lot this morning. The car was heading in the direction of exiting the parking lot, hit the median and flipped. Must have been going too fast, not paying attention and boom. I don't really understand how it could have flipped. There is a stop sign right before where he hit the median. I guess he didn't stop? :notsure: The tree might have been the thing that caused him to rotate enough to roll. Only one car involved.
    Not sure if you can see it in the pic but here it is.

    lol, i pulled forward a little to take the pic so the car next to me wasn't blocking the view. I also needed to beat the guy next to me so i could cut him off and turn right at the next light.

    The guy got out and was walking around the car on his phone. There were people asking if he was ok and then they all walked away. Cops past me as i got a couple lights away.

    There was a crowd of people there right away that were closer to the action. I would have just been in the way.

    So got the OME lift and TC uca's installed. getting tires balanced / rotated / alignment done at 2pm today. I have a vibration at 5-10mph. I am assuming its the carrier bearing. I am going camping tomorrow in silverton, is the shake ok for the weekend or should I try and scrounge a drop kit somehow? I am out of time to buy one cause nobody has one in stock around here I'm sure. Any ideas?

    I would think you'd be fine. You won't be driving in the 5-10mph range that much going to silverton so it shouldn't really be noticed.

    you can try and use flat head washers to lower the carrier bearing as well. I think it was sean that used nothing but washers and just stacked them on to get the drop he needed. I have had slight vibes (0-10mph) since i installed my lift last may. I bought the OME carrier bearing drop kit and also tried stacking washers on top of that to alleviate the vibes but no luck. Then tried installing my 3 degree shims and still no luck. I havent put the carrier bearing kit back on with some washers to see if that will help the drive line angles though.

    good luck buddy

    For the carrier bearing drop just go to home depot and buy some square thick washers. I believe they are in the electrical section used for unistrut.
    Yep here they are:http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc...oreId=10051&superSkuId=202891078#.UEEIBLQV3Kc
