That sucks man. But from the pics, how? Were you doin doughnuts? A guy I went to high school with lost his arm doing donuts on the beach when he flipped his hi-boy Ford. Had his hand out the window holding on.

Wasn’t even going that fast. Came around the corner, as you see the was the only icy spot as wind blew over in that area. It was -20F out. There were some spots where the wind had pushed snow out.

I looked back to make sure everyone was still coming and got a little too close to the left side.

It caught the left tire and pulled it (no power steering) and 30ish mph with mud terrains on a corner it caused the rear to swing out.
That headed me into the softer snow on the left which caused the rear to come way over almost perpendicular. Then the right side dug in and broke through…over I went.

For some reason, I can't look away. It's like that painting of Kramer.

Tragedy has hit!!!
While off-roading in the Hieroglyphic Mountains on Fri.13, Wilbur suffered a catastrophic incident.
Even though it took us several hours to flip him upright, he started right up and was able to motor off the trail and back home.View attachment 4087997

Oh no!
What happened?

Ugh.
Yeah.
I was remembering when you earned that t-shirt.
That was a few years ago!
Pre-FJ Cruiser.
Was that ‘06?
