Having a little too much fun today at Kelly Flats with my Mom, and realized that Swampers are very grippy. So grippy, in fact, that I climbed right up this boulder and rolled on my side. Whipped out the good old Harbor Freight Come-a-Long and had it back on its wheels in about 10 minutes. Nothing broke, not even a crack in the windshield, and craziest of all, the truck continued to run for a long time, carbureted!

 

pics of damage?

At least it looks like you where wheeling where you flopped.
THe pics i have look flat..

 

There really was no damage. My mirror was loose before, and now it's tight and doesn't flop down.

I don't quite follow that 2nd sentence, sorry.

 

Oh sorry, when i flopped my rig, The pictures i have of it look like it was a flat area.

 

Ouch!

Looks like that drivers-side slider helped you out though.

 

So what did "Mom" think?

 

Yep, sure did. The tool box also helped quite a bit.

It was her idea to "give it one more try, I think I can get a better picture from this angle".

 

Ah, "Mom" was spectating, not particpating, I mean flopping.

 

Oh noo not the fresh paint!
I ALMOST had my first flop this weekend but i defied the laws of physics and stayed on all 4. Good deal you got away with a good clean cab though.

 

That sucks...I like that you tipped it with you mom in it though...My mother would have killed me!!!

 

wtf is up with the paint on your roof???..lol...nice flop though!

 

Looks like he was not tall enough when he rattle canned it.

 

Yes, I never saw it coming, and I was very lucky.

She was taking pictures from a safe distance, but she did ride along during this part of the trail 3 times.

It's only the first coat, gimme a break.

I'm 6'2", and it was only the first coat.

 

hahaha..its all good man.i didnt even paint the roof on my '80 for like a yr..lol...then i remembered i didnt spray it..lol

 

Well hey, now it's easy to work on!

 

A built wheelin rig missing half of its panels and your worried about the paint on the roof

Edit: What amazes me about this flop is that you recovered it with a come along. Maybe i should think about getting one

 

"Quik change the tire!"

and thats all i got.

I was hoping a local would chime in. Moody Hill Sunday, you should come. My Weber should be hooked up.
