    I get how you could roll on certain sections of the Rowher 4x4 or Lookout trail, but this was on the main fire road. I'll hold back on passing too much judgement until I hear the full story, but you'd have to be doing something pretty foolish to roll your truck there.

    Crazy to do something like that to a brand new truck

    Someone clearly seemed too excited driving down the road and probably lost control went up the hill side and rolled over and managed to keep from rolling down any further. Seems to be the only explanation in my opinion..

    Yeah seems like the only real explanation, figured the hill on the opposite side of the road had something to do with it. They were lucky that mound of dirt was there on the edge of the road or they might have rolled right off the side. Depending on how far into the park they were, that could have been quite a fall.

    ditto, if I had to guess I'd say that he got too ballsy and tried driving up the embankment on the other side of the road there while going too fast, lost control and flipped it maybe?

    Or maybe was going too fast and had to swerve to avoid hitting someone going too fast up the other direction, people at Rowher (especially on dirtbikes) have a tendency to do that and there are some blind corners on those fire roads.

    slow and steady wins the race, I say :turtleride:

    Yea I feel you, the ocotillo trip didn't line up time wise for me :frusty:

    Going to the dealership tomorrow to pick up or order some lower ball joints and throw those in. If that doesn't fix the small wiggle then I'll do inner/outer tie rods

    True story. Blind corners are dicey in some locations. Especially the more frequented trails. And things like letting others going in the opposite direction know how many rigs are behind ya with your fingers helps tremendously.
