JV Rockin' XJ run pics

cool pics, but umm whats with the guys pushing against the side of that one Jeep. Yeah I get whats he's trying to do but if the Jeep did decide to go he's not going to stop it, not smart IMO. Wraping a strap through the door would be a better idea.

There were 5 guys pushing on it. They actually pushed it back over. I know it is unsafe but, desperate times call for desperate measures.
 
Pushing on Jeeps is pretty common Weasel.

Sometimes all you need is a litlte bit of weight, that can make the difference between making a line and taking a strap. It's not always rollover prevention.

Hell, even one guy can help with the rollover gig too. It's all about weight distribution!
 
Well I didn't see the other five guys, looked like just one. And I know it gets done all the time but I don't think it's smart. Just as easy to throw a strap throught the door and pull of that.
 
not always time for that either
 
Yeah I saw it happen at the DTC but it was just one guy. The rig started getting tippy so he jumped up between the canyone wall and the rig and started shoiving on it, pretty dumb as if the vehicle was going over he would have got crushed. ther's always time, knowing your rig you should know the line and if your gonna get tippy, then throw a strap on before. I'm not gonna really argee this cause thats your deal, but I think it's just about as unsafe as winching with out a cable strap.

I knew my line. It was the rocks underneath that decided to change things up at the last second. the rocks under my right rear tire slipped out as I rolled up on them. Thanks Dad.
