I have saved a roll over by hitting reverse and the gas with my auto a couple of times, but once I panickd jammed reverse and punched it, and reverse was the wrong torque direction I needed to save it,stupid me ended up making it worse causeing me to roll my ZJ over two rolls instead of likely just onto the roof.

:rofl: :rofl: Been there, done that. Not with a ZJ, but....

It does have a purpose but probably not the one intended. I'm assuming it would sorta help out in a roll over if you did not have a cage but the real benefit is that when you drop the tire to to gound it supports it. If it was only 1/2 height the tire would hit the ground first and be a PITA to remove/replace.

true...but when you got 38plus size tire the spare will allways be a pita.
