    Thanks for the concerns, Ladies First instinct was to put my leg out. I had to really concentrate not to. That wouldve be bad, mmkay....

      so what is the approximate side angle that can be achieved before the center of gravity moves past the tire hub and you roll over?
      03 TJ. It'll go 65mph...can't complain.

        Supe,

        I'm glad you're OK.
        When you get a chance to gather your thoughts, tell us what you think happened. Did your tires slip off the rock? Did it happen suddenly or S-L-O-W-L-Y? I presume you didn't have a passenger; would that have been enough weight to keep you from tipping over?
        If you don't like the way I drive, stay out of the bushes!

          I did have a passenger but She got out to snap some pics fortunatly. (pics coming) It was my error. I went up to high on the rocks. My tires were turned into the rocks. I started to feel it tipping but wasnt sure it was going all the way. When I knew I just concentrated on keeping my limbs inside so I wouldnt run anything over. It happened slowly. When it was done; jeepers being jeepers, all came over to help and we had the jeep up and running in no time. I dont think having a passenger would have prevented this.

            Supe,
            Glad you're alright. Got a little hairy, huh. I don't know what I would rather have; flop real fast without any warning, or slow, so your mind has time to think about it. Good thing you kept youself in the roll cage. JB can get way slippery when wet. I got caught up at the top of JB in a cloudburst. Pretty much slid all the way down. And you're right about jeepers; always there to help. Good people.

                        It was a suprise as to how natural it was to stick one of them out there. I really had to concentrate more than I would have though about keeping them limbs inside the vehicle...

                            I know nothing. I was just immediately BEHIND Supe, and there was a certain person of the female persuasion in FRONT of Supe with a camera, but again...I know nothing!

                                For the record, it was not on purpose at all, if it wasn't a DD I would have the availability of another vehicle so I can mess up my jeep at my leisure.

                                I was trying to get some good pics and just went up too high... DOH!
