OK I'll go ahead and post up since the crap is already starting
I really don't have an explanation of what happened , it wasn't that big of a hill. I came right up the lower section and then got to the spot , small ledge and small rut , Dan ( montero Dan ) yelled out to get to the left ( close to the tree ) I just couldn't find any traction and on the third attemp I was backing off of the ledge to try again and it started:mad: popped up pretty fast and then went into slow motion . the right side of the Jeep hit VERY VERY hard on the rock ledge . Good thing is no one was hurt just my Jeep.
Carnage report :
Rock pushed the right side hard door into the cage and blew out the cosey wing, and giving the door a nice new shape. The windshield survived the impact , however , about 30 seconds later it spider webbed right in fornt of me . the frame is toast , I might be able to salvage it for a spare but ?????
Hard top suffered a rather large crack on the front corner but its fiberglass and easy to repair.
And I also got a rather large soup bowl on my drivers side cowl ????????
damn Miller Lite , I have no idea how it got there or when
All in all it was a great day , I spent all day today cleaning up the mess , thank god the river is out of its banks . I took a trip down to the bike path ( which is under about a foot of water and made about 25 passes up and down it . cleaned about 75% of that sticky crap off the Jeep . Then took it home and got the pressure washer out.
Took the hard top and doors off for the season and also removed a slightly used windshield frame.
Got another frame with glass just a few hours ago and will be cleaning it up and giving it a rattle can paint job tomorrow .....
Oh , while I was blasting the bike path I had two Jeeps stop and see if I needed help ( cause I stopped a couple of times in the deep stops to hand wash alittle ) .... I was just off of State Rt. 73 and hundreds of vehicle were passing by , only two that stopped were Jeeps .... Gotta love it
