Request to join the rollover posse!

[Spas]

I hate posting in this forum... it always means I did something really stupid, resulting in damage to one of my babies : This time is no exception, unfortunately.

Here, enjoy the video while you're at it :

wow, the complete roll to get out of it? That had to be a tough decision to make. Was the rollover on the same obstacle that you drove up on your other myspace video?

The part I rolled on was 10 feet past the 'Ledge', which was what the other video showed me climbing. You can't see it in the video, but 25 feet away is a 70 foot drop. We tried winching Morgan the same way he went over but there just wasn't enough leverage... so after 3 hours of trying, I made the decision to roll him all the way. If we'd had a backhoe or crane on hand I would've spared myself the extra damage :

Well if it were up to me I wouldn’t call it a rollover, I'd call it a flop on its side. Never mind what the hell, you let it rollover to get it upright so YOU’RE IN, in my book.

 

[SuRrEaLNJ]

well it did have a rollover. but marcy gets to claim 3/4 of it :

 

[IZwack]

LOL Im amazed at how easy it was to roll it back over on its tires. Seemed like a nice breeze could've rolled it over

 

[FROADER]

I believe the ROP started with just a flop. Kevin only went onto the passenger side while attempting donuts in the wash at Truck Haven and the ROP was born. I say you're in.

 

[Jefe]

I think thats probably a first in the ROP for finishing off the flop with a 3/4 roll onto the tires.

I'm impressed with the combined willpower of the group to get it to stop on the tires though.

And yes, the ROP definition of a roll is 2 or more wheels off the ground for any extended period of time, so flops count.

Well, all four were off the ground for at least 3 hours so I'm in! Sweeeeeet, I'm putting it in my sig

(Oh, although it looks like Rookie's sheer willpower through yelling, "Stop! Stop!" is what stopped Morgan from rolling any further, he was actually yelling at Marcy, the driver of the Cherokee that was attached to my truck with a tow strap, lol)

In order to join the posse, you need to rename Morgan to Flipper

At least I HAVE an Explorer :mattmoon:

 

[Doug]

I don't know what your crying about, my explorer has more body damaged and I haven't rolled it. (knock on wood). :

 

[SoBeLover]

Lindsy, how bad is Morgan's damage? I'm hoping not too bad. But think about it, better you roll your rig over than go off a cliff with you in it

 

[biggs92EB]

dang...sucks you hurt your ride, but at least it will live to play another day!~
On another note, I am an ass for not applying for the rollover posse, as mine was on its side in a ditch full of water for a few hours 2 winters ago...oh well there is always next time!

I'm surprised Doug didn't say this... It'll buff out

Seriously, it shouldn't be a big deal to get the roof and 1/4 panel pulled out far enough to put in a new windshield and quarter glass. As much as I hate damage of any kind, Morgan's a wheeling rig. Body damage comes with the territory


Biggs, ROP membership requires at least a picture of said flop/roll, I think
