      I don't know you but glad to hear your are okay, that Jeep sure did take a beating and yes you surely could have died. Way to stay calm and position yourself for the best outcome. That's a wheeler right their thinking his way through a roll over. Props!

          I was looking at the photos and it doesn't appear that the roll bar was not damaged or bent. I wonder why the windshield frame is crushed, but the driver's door is not.

          The limo has the narrow axles, I wonder if it would have rolled if it had the wide track axles?

              Wow! That is a mess. You were sure lucky to have walked away from that catastrophe. I'll bet the people witmessing you climbing from the wreckage were amazed that you were able to do so.

                  I'm sure it was past it's useful life. The tire did delaminate and I'm sure it was because it was too old. I had a couple of old tires left and was about to do a big upgrade and the tires would have been a part of that.

                    Roger,

                    I think it would have happened anyway, since what put me into the roll was getting t-boned by a pickup truck.

                            Holy Toledo!!

                            So glad to hear youre okay, my condolences on your Jeep.

                            I think we can safely say that this was a miracle.

                              Glad to see you're okay and that so many people stopped to help you out. Since folks are volunteering parts I've got D30 and D35 axles I'd be happy to donate. Just as many have already said, the great thing is that God kept you here a bit longer, there is now OEM supplier for people.
