Jay when I laid mine over on its right side it was on a hill very similar to that. Sick feeling, huh? I was like you -- pretty vertical -- and all I had to do was turn my wheels all the way and put it in reverse and the side of my front tire grabbed sideways and turned me over as I was backing down and it flipped me back onto all fours. I hope it's a long time before I pull that maneuver again.

Gjarret,

Yeah Jay, I posted on this new forum, "Carnage at 360 Trails in Dallas". Mine wasn't scary at all. It happened FAST. One second it was okay and the next we were laying over. No time to get worried, just a feeling of oh-oh.... what did I just do to my pretty Explorer....

I see yours isn't pointing straight uphill. Mine was. If you can picture turning your steering wheel ALL the way right, you'd be digging the bottom of the left front tire into the cliff. That's what I did to back down. Once my Eddie Bauer started sliding down, the tire grabbed, went over to the sidewall of the hill, and rolled it back right side up. Whew. Considering what I did it could have been a lot worse damage, though I wasn't happy at all at what it DID do to it.

Oh come on! You are not wheelin hard enough if you don't roll it right? HaHa just kidding. I am glad everybody was okay. It would really suck to roll an Explorer because that can get expensive to fix. That is why I have a beater for serious wheelin'.

Mine wasn't scary at all.
