Well trying to get GATVILLE out was not a success. That truck is stuck pretty good. Then upon trying to get my jeep out, I got stuck (first time this jeep has ever actually been stuck) and so we pulled it out and once I started moving, I mashed the pedal (not the right way to do it, but I just wanted to get it out and didnt care much). That resulted in the following:

Basically as soon as my jeep started to get out of the clay, i just mashed on the pedal. Then when i got up to the packed dirt i got a lot of grip and the jeep tried to do a reverse 180… which doesnt work very well in a lifted jeep… lol. Im ok, and the jeep is a f’ing beast. lol.

they are gonna pull it out with a bucket loader this week. He’s in there pretty good though. Between my jeep with the 9k winch and my dad’s truck we only moved it about an inch.

Dont sweat it… its just more reason to chop and cage it… lol. If I was really that worried about rolling it, I wouldnt have kept the throttle mashed going up the embankment.

Kenny are you alright? Did you get caught in the seatbelt during the flip or your head cushioned the impact?

i think the seatbelt failed b/c i thought for sure i put it on and i stayed in the driver side (without it, i would have ended up in the pass side since thats the way it rolled) but as soon as it went onto the roof, and after getting hit in the head with my airtank, i hit the ground. So im about 99% sure the seatbelt either failed or somehow didnt quite latch fully. I have a pretty nice headache and probably a mild concussion, but other than that im good.

atleast the snorkel didn’t suck anything up and seize your engine while upside down, that woulda been some irony or something like that

as soon as it went over I immediately turned it off and attempted to put it in park but it wouldnt go (went in fine after we righted it though). Somehow the pvc snorkel withstood the impact along with the roof rack. I guess I make shit pretty strong… lol
