Duh. Now I remember. The slow motion rollover.

Bugout4x4

Yep, and it was slow motion. Damndest thing I have been through. lol

It's been a couple months now, still working at it when I get the chance.

TrailerTrash

dammit lol I was torn between rollover and hood came open

Bugout4x4

Unfortunately it was the worst of the two. lol You should have seen the delay I got from my wife when she texted me to find out if I was OK because my run was taking longer than it should have. I sent her that picture........................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ............................ "Is my DOG OK?!!!!" lol

TrailerTrash

thats awesome lol

EZEARL

So her priorities are:
#1 HER dog. Then the XJ or you? LOL

Bugout4x4

Yep, you got it... The dog, the Jeep, and the Jeep. lol The next question was "how you going to get my Jeep home *******?"

EZEARL

Should have told her you weren't concerned how cause it isn't yours.



Only in your dreams of course.

Bugout4x4

Lol... I actually did that! That was when she started to care and ask if I was OK.

I have to admit though that because it happened on our own private property she didn't get too excited. The public and authority equation was taken out of the picture so she knew exactly what she was doing. If it had been under other circumstances where it would have been towed and written up things would have been different. She was messing with me... lol

RocketMouse

Glad you're okay... lol

Funny thing.... years ago, I used to have a cat that like to sleep just like that.

Bugout4x4

I'll have to share the details someday. lol It rolled so slow that I had time to plan the rebuild, the options, and how I could move funds around to do it. All as I was turning the engine off on the way over before it finally came to rest on it's top. lol

RocketMouse

LOL... how often does THAT happen?.... At least it wasn't a slow roll-over off of a high cliff. Then it would've also included head between legs to kiss butt goodbye. lol

Caish

If you was closer i have several parts XJ's you could cut the roof off of.
one is nearly stripped now, only a few parts to pull off it. Ready for the crusher.

Bugout4x4

Damn... That's exactly what I am looking for... A 97 with no running gear included, I can bring my own "Set up".

Are you hip to the history of dry counties, Gin Mills and "bring your own set up?" lol

Bugout4x4

And that brings up the debate about roll cages... Next time IT COULD BE A CLIFF. This is looking back down on one of the switchbacks I just came around on the road to my bugout property. I have had to cut down and tie trees to the back of both my Bronco and my Jeep to drag behind them for brakes to get back down this in the winter when this road is frozen solid with ice or snow. More than once I have puckered up and hoped I could make one of the turns on this thing.
