Only had time to see a few pics so far Matt, the blue Jeep on it's side looks likes it's on Holy Cross. Did you guy's go there? TC
 
TC, we did holy cross, the blue jeep is rosco, remember him, he was there when i rolled my jeep. his jeep is a lot bigger. he rolled on holy cross up above the city. we had to leave it overnight as it wouldn't start. the next day we got it to start and run for 3 seconds then it would die. finally strapped it down the moutain, running every so often so that hydro steer...would steer...

kejtar....that pic was taken right before the jeep rolled onto the pass side, then the roof, then back on to the drivers side....

mac 'holy cross was the only thing we got to wheel in colorado...twice' gyvr
 
well when it was towed on the access road out of the trail, it would steer, but not when being towed down the trail and through the rocks....

roscoe needs to get himself an orbital valve that steers with out the pump assist if he's gonna roll so often

Ummm Yeah. I'm gonna guess he'll probably roll it again. and again. and again.
That boy is nuts.
 
Yep, I remember him, nice guy. To bad we couldn't have hooked up in Colorado for a couple of day's. I'm not going to make the NAXJA event in Moab but will be there iin the spring for the EJS, I REALLY need to move out west, sigh. TC
 
he's got the back half of the tub cut off right now.....

and i assume more monkey bars to come....

rolled which one?

as of this trip mine was rolled once in april of 2001, roscos was put on its side in attica a few months ago and in his front yard a couple of times, the camo wasn't rolled before or during moab.

mac 'rollem all' gyvr
 
He wasn't trying to roll in the hot tub, he was trying to get out of it, its the one that everyone rolls in now before Mickeys. And its not that he's trying to on the trail, he just tries hard stuff, you should've seen the lines he was trying on potato salad hill, its amazing that he didnt roll it there, he aint scared and laughs everytime it happens.....

btw, the camo jeep, rolled once on its side in roscos front yard the other night, then once on its roof, then once on its side in my back yard, all climbing trees.... the body is screwed and we were drunk, but I kept my jeep safely parked in the garage. So the camo jeep is getting the roof cut off either tonight or tommorrow night and a cage is going in, it will be a beater like WonTon, tho he still has a few more payments to make before its paid off.

I only wish I had an OUNCE of his fearlessness, but if he challenged himself to try an NOT roll, I think he'd only get better than he already is.

BTW, I think when you see what tun's been up to, you won't be referring to his junk as a "beater"
 
well on the trail I dont think it is trying to roll cause this trip was really the first real roll his jeep has done on the trail....but three in five days really takes a toll.

and when I refer to his junk, its in the same context that many refer to your mom's welding....

and by all means, i bow to his jeep and only wish mine could even come close in strenth and trail worthlyness....

mac 'still running a 30r....still...but do have a cage' gyvr
 
I wasn't, my roommate was, I kept mine in the garage....

and he cut the top off his XJ last night....definately look interesting!

I'll try to shoot some pics and post them.

mac 'keeping most of the top on mine for now' gyvr
