I consider rolling a very good lesson in 4 wheeling. Its really only once you've done it, that you understnad what you can, and cant do. Sadly, I didnt roll while 4 wheeling. heh

I was driving my moms brand new Nissan Pathfinder around the lake here to look at some homes for sale. I missed my turn and slowed down to a crawl on this old road. Unbeknowest to me, the floods had washed out underneath the road. The pavement broke off, and in a kinda surreal slow mo, I rolled her over on the top. Thankfully, a couple fallen trees haulted my decent, cause I could have rolled a lot futher. Had my seat belt on, and didnt get hurt... until, in a hury to get out of the vehicle and check myself out, I forgot about gravity. Unhooked my seat belt and slammed into the shattered moon roof and cut my arm up pretty good.

At the end of the day, it was the county's fault for not maintaining the road. What I was most upset about. Moms vehicle. If it had been mine, I would have been driving a brand new Rubicon or unlimited, instead she's dirivng a brand new highlander. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/animxj.gif

WOW Wraith you got lucky!
When i first saw your post a shiver went down my spine. That S.U.V. didn't even have a roll cage!!

Your right about rolling being a good lesson. When i rolled my jeep going 45mph i learned a lot that day. But through the experence of doing it first hand you REAly can learn what your jeep can and can't do. (at those speeds you cant do much)
Anyway i'm glad you are ok.
