Muddy trip to Gilmer

this is the result of wheeling wet, red clay on steep hills and laying it on both sides....anybody have a couple extra power mirrors laying around...???? :D

I'll have pics and video of her on her side later this week...

Both sides huh?!!! That takes talent....lol I know what you mean, when that mud/clay gets water soaked it is might as well be an ice rink...
 






Wow! your pass side looks like my driver side on my 98 sport after side swiping a expidition. NICE!

That does make changing the oil much easer.
 






it does make goin in reverse a tad difficult... at that degree, it wont move....
 






A tip: next time, attach the winch's hook to the side that's going to unload on the axle -- that should help prevent the vehicle from rolling over a little bit. Looking at your pics, you probably unloaded the driver's side so I would have attached the winch to the axle on that side and pulled on the axle.
 






how did you manage not to break any windows!!??? if it was me, somehow every window would some how brake
 






I told Phil he has some kind of bulletproof windows. This is about the 5th trip he's layed that thing on a window and still has yet to break one. :p:

There was another flop later on that day in a worse spot than that but i dont think we got any pics.
 






explorers dont roll over they just flop a lot :p
