We took most of the day on video, as soon as its on CD, i'll post it.

We did, however, have a fun time righting a wrong side up jeep. It was a lucky flop, they landed on bushes, and had scratches but no real dents.

Also, a couple of pictures of my dads 4Runner. Good times.

 

Was he just not paying attention and rolled off the side of the trail?

 

The picture doesn't show it very well, but he is actually on a spur trail, and is right at the intersection of the spur and main drag. He was backing up to let some people pass, but had no doors, so he had no mirrors, and couldn't see that side of the road very well. He said it just slid down, and then, almost slow motion style, flopped.

I should also mention that finding a place to winch from on a unibody truck is difficult. We eventually went with the tranny xmember because there wasn't anything else that was close to the middle of the truck.

 

Oh Oh he flopped on some small baby shurbs/trees the Yota Tech Thread lighty lynch mod is going to be all over this post any second.

Looks like a fun time, glad no one was hurt.

 

what the heck was he thinking? did you get video of the recovery?

 

I would be more worried about oil or gas which may have leaked and contaminated the soil. Also, that is clearly off trail. Is that public land and if it is did anyone get the license plate and report the driver?

 

It was probably leaking oil and gas while it was upright!!!

















After all, It is a JEEP!!!

 

Clue by Four, get one.

Good on ya Isaac.

No need to get his liscense, I already hunted him down and smart allecked the careless driver to death. Piss off, really.

 

he was on a trail, he just fell off accidentally. Not really his choice, i think if he'd had his druthers, he'd have stayed on the trail actually.

There was no leakage, i checked it out. It all drained somewhere in his engine, and ya, it was smoking good. He refused our offer to pull the plugs, and get the oil out, he said "it'll start right up". It did, but it wasn't pretty.

This has nothing to do with Tread Lightly, it was NOT a deliberate violation, it was an accident, and that falls into an entirely different area. Cool it.

Oh, and i do have some video of the recovery, the rest was lost due to a dead battery, and we couldn't get it replaced (didn't want to stop pulling him out just to get video, ya know?)

 

Why are you making these sarcastic comments?

Good job with the recovery Ike.

 

My Toyota had more leaks then my Jeep.

Nice pictures, Ike.

 

wheres the video, Ike?

 

nice pics, more please! pm someone if there is a dispute, not hijack his thread!

 

We are having much difficulty getting the video OFF the stupid camera. It has to be burned to DVD, so i can upload it where there is nice FAST interent, and the stupid burner went belly up. So....its going to be a bit, sorry for the extreme delay, but we'll get it soon. (i hope)
