Oh, notice that the damage on Chris' windshield frame is on the passenger side. I was sitting on the passenger side at the time it happened. I guess I haven't hugged a tree recently and they are getting a little resentful.

This is not totally true. Your windshield and top should be the same. If you look in the catalogs the tops are for 97-03. That means the top and windshild will be the same.

I got a video of most of the rollover, too. How do I post it? I'll be online tomorrow night with it if you could help me.

There are differences. Not all the tops fit the 03. Just had someone on another list complain that. A couple of other 03 owners have warned me as well. (Seems I am not the only one not afraid to break a new Jeep.)

Unfortunately, we didn't get the actual crash (darn).

After looking at everything here's what went wrong (after my stupid idea of NOT taking the bypass):

Slipped off something (rock?); climbed tree; fell in hole; fell over.

Had I made a smart move once in the trail of stopping before the slip and stuck my head out the window and screamed for someone to spot me (Mikey was there but it was too late by then. He tried ), I might have made it.

Many dumb moves; lots of repairs to make; lessons learned.
