Will Lysmachia Roll in Farmington?

I do believe I now have the required equipemnt to prevent a roll. A front and rear suck down winch (to the axle) to keep my center of gravity lower (I know cheating) but my coils are too soft. Sway bars to keep the coils from sinking too low and preventing front wheel trasction up big slabs and then of course I have the glass replaced on everyting I already broke. But the question is, will I push my tippy self to the roll point again? My guess is no. I now have that "roll feeling ingrained" at least on the roll to the driverfront fender, but still, let's put my sanity up to a poll and laugh about it later, becuase if I do roll it will be soft again and this time I will have my seatbelt on.....

Either that or TC will roll it. LMAO

Since I have not donated I cannot make a poll but go ahead and vote anyway. :-)

I say no. At least from my experience having that that "roll feeling ingrained" will teach to become "one" with your rig. You'll learn and feel new things about its personallity and potential. Plus those few "part helpers" should keep your equilibrium under control.

No - what I have is a little thing called SANITY which has been a long distant memory for Lysmachia!

Any pics of the winch set ups? Never seen anyone run a front suck down with leaves.

Once you do it, why not do it again?

I didn't see the front but I did see the rear one operate today and it was pretty freakin' sick. Whoever installed/welded it did a really nice job.

UPDATE:

She didn't roll, and she freaked me out so bad I wouldn't try much off camber stuff. That truck is frickin awesome though - it was amazing how easy it would go up stuff. Seeing some of these guys do lines you look at and say "who would think to drive up this" and then walk up definitely sold me on F/R lockers!

I can't truly call her truck sexy until it's mostly all one color! LMAO

(Nic - remember you're not on TTORA - censors a little more rigid over here!)

Yeah, both are cool, but a SAS'd 3rd gen will definitely turn more heads
