How'd that happen? Is it still sitting flopped? If so, your gonna need to flip it over, let it sit for a period of time. The rule of thumb is let it sit for twice as long as its been rolled. This is to get all the excess oil out of the cylinders. When that's done, pull the plugs and crank it to make sure all the excess oil is out. Then I'd suggest doing an oil change. If you try starting it right away, all that oil is gonna be too much fluid and pressure for the cylinders and walls to handle and then you'll have an even larger problem than before.

Glad youre ok Chief. On another note, our local trails are now closed. The owners want no one in there and the cops will be patrolling regularly on four wheelers. Anyone caught will recieve a 500 dollar fine for first offence, second offence will be an impound of vehicle per the owners request. Reason being is not only have people been going out too late at night but have been dumping excessive trash, building bon fires, smashing glass bottles everywhere, busting doughnuts in the owners back field (butts up to property, tearing the berm up to where the rains are washing out the road (north end), tresspassing and abusing of the animals on the neighbors property), tearing up the sold propertys berm, Two kids have flipped their trucks and one was injured, and another stolen truck was ditched out there in the mudhole. This is an extensive list and should have never gotten this way. As a community we need to look out for idiots like this ruining our good spots. Only about 6 people will be allowed in there for the time being. So please, for all of my CF friends who know of our area, PLEASE steer clear of the area till things die down and we can clean up and fix the damage done by these idiots and kids. A few of us may not see eye to eye on a few things but I still look out for you guys on matters as this. Thanks.

Problem - I know, I know. New one every week.
I went to pull into a parking spot going slow and the front right tire kinda felt like it jumped or something. So I had my friend drive it while I looked underneath and sure enough you could see the right tire literally look like it hops off the ground. Really weird. I checked on here but no one had definitive answers. Just hoping that its nothing too bad :/

I had the Jeep upright less than 10 minutes after it rolled. However, I didn't asses the damage last night because I hit my head pretty hard when it went over, and the rear tire had unseated from the rim. I was in no shape to fix it, so I left it there. When I got to it this morning, the only damage was the driver's side fender was crushed in a little, and the windshield cracked. Everything is running fine now.
Outlaw, are you referring to where I was last night?
