Moab Out and Back

[Ford Prefect]

I found these picts on Colorado4x4.org.

West Bound I-70 24MAR05.......................

East Bound I-70 25MAR05.......................

$%#&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are not of me, but what a day this guy had...

Note the date!

The tube is in the shop......... I don't know how far I will go with it though, it was such a pretty poser rig. Every piece of sheetmetal on it is FUBAR. I was the only person in it and I walked away without a scratch, but I had to pry my ass cheeks from the seat, that was one hell of a ride. I was further up the hill and more to the right than the cruiser in this pic, and I ended up driver side down on top of the rocks in the lower left of the pic.

Wonder if Badcop has seen these pics.
These make his roll seem "not-too-bad"! Fack KENNETH !!

 

[DevinB]

Wait wait wait. He rolled all the way to the lower left of the pic? F'in A.

 

[WJL]

Looks like it was built once, round two comming up

At least Driver walked away, better the jeep get hurt than you.

 

[Herzog]

I watched that entire roll over in person. The jeep rolled over about 4 - 6 times hard all the way to the bottom of that ravine. Well built cage and lapbelts saved his life.

 

[RockMonkey]

Ouch. Never seen anyone roll all the way down into the ravine. That was a nice looking ride too...

I didn't see it personally but got a sweet video of it, I don't know if its true but I heard he wasn't wearing a seatbelt?

 

[Kris K]

WOW thats a long ways to roll.

I didn't see it personally but got a sweet video of it, I don't know if its true but I heard he wasn't wearing a seatbelt?

Can you load up the video?

He was wearing a lapbelt. If he hadn't been, there is absolutely no way he would have stayed in the rig through the entire roll. It's started to roll pretty violently when it got to the steep part of the ravine and caught more speed with each turn over.

 

[Herzog]

From my vantage point, this was basically the path of his roll over. I can't wait to see video of this... I'm glad they guy didn't get hurt.

 

[greenjeep]

Poor Commando!!

 

[RockMonkey]

*tapping fingers* Where's the vid? Wanna see it!

we got to PSH just in time to see it get winched up thehill, and watched them for an hour while they tried to get it on a trailer.
