Thanks for the picks. Get to see all the parts on the bottom without laying underneath or twisting my neck or closing one eye. This view really allows for a better analysis.

congrats, you have joined the great rank of fireroad flops. Now Cal has someone to talk to!

The driver "A" pillar is slightly dented, and Sideways noticed some tiny tiny tiny spider cracks in the paint where the "A" pillar meets the top metal for the windshield, but other than that, no ripples or cracked paint anywhere else. The rain gutter is slightly bent, but again - tiny bend. Everything else appears to be OK.

Yea, I'm telling my self that over and over again... I won't be driving like this again - not until I know how to anyway!

Yea, that was the position we were in - it was against the hill, and we couldn't get the other truck where it needed to be to unflop it and roll it backwards off the hill.

That's what Sideways keeps saying to me hahahaha. I liked my Jeep pre-stupidity!

Yup - Exactly what went on with me... It isn't - fortunately! Thanks!

It got a single new crack from the bottom left to the top left... $40 is pretty damn inexpensive... Does he install as well?

hahaha, I was waiting for this! I've heard of Cal, and only barely know his story. At least my flop was on a "Rally Stage" with a "Double Caution Hard Left" hahahaha.
You're red! Cool

Find your local mobile windshield replacement guy - these are the same guys that do it for the dealerships. They'll charge you about $75 - $100 (installed) and come to you, but the dealership charges you $500+ and keeps your junk for a few days..

Tough call here Dan.
At least Mitch was driving aggressively, while he did miscalculate a gentle turn which resulted in a flop at least he wasn't driving a very built rig at slow speeds only to flop on nothing.
Hard to say. We'll have to deliberate on whether Mitch joins the Tuttle Club.

Now that's just plain mean. Those washboard surfaces can be very tricky to maneuver when the rythem gets just right. It causes the space time continuum to get out of whack and flip a jeep right over

Ha, I forgot about that. That's the "ran out of talent on a fireroad" club.

You're *almost* in that club too. Lucky for you, your son was driving...

Wouldn't it have been easier to just turn the camera sideways!!!
Yeah, I see they say "Starting at $69.95" but what do they charge for a Cherokee?
Cheapest I've found near where I live is over $100 more than that -- I sure would like to know of a cheaper alternative that does good work.
