    For the most part. My cousin and I walked away with just some scratching from glass flying around but it really worked out as good as it could.

    Yeah it's the first ledge, I was too far left and caught a bad bounce. Kicked me over on my side then rolled down the ledge onto the roof You can see my tire tracks up on the bank to the left.

    Gotta replace the axles in the 44 I bought. Would it be worth it to go ahead and go chrome oly?

    I was at windrock for 3 days. I wish it wasn't too wet for the difficult trails but it was fun. I bent a leaf spring and acquired a little body glamage, one guy broke a stock birf, and another had a cracked radiator hose. Not bad.

    Honestly, he backed out and we went around. It was just too nasty. It took him 3 minutes to get stuck like chuck, and 20 minutes to back out, stacking about 50 rocks lol. It is a crazy climb!

    You can roll at any given time... It happens in a blink of an eye. Just like Jacob said... "caught a bad bounce".

    This is true, I am by no means saying i will never roll my truck or that shit doesn't happen because it does. I do wheel like a pussy when things get of camber which saves my ass a lot and i also have a suck down winch so i can pull the front end down so far i compress my air bumps and only have 1" of travel.

    Pretty much, all you have to do is accidentally brake when you shouldn't have, or stomped the gas when you should have hit the brakes and your over. Luckily the times i have put it on its side i kind of knew it was coming.

    I need a cage lol. Gear Head, lets see some pics of the carnage when it was back on all fours.
