OK, this is the after........ where is the right before and during? Eric, guess this means you are out for the night ride. You are welcome to come out to Gurley at 5pm Saturday and eat with us. Someone might even have an empty seat.

uh-oh.... when you said the jeep had a "boo-boo", I didn't expect this. So sorry!

I would love to ride with someone this weekend, but I will be in Florida for a wedding so I am out of pocket. Thanks for the invite/offer!!
I have already found a used windshield frame/windshield and drivers door so I should have the jeep put back together in a couple of weeks at the latest. So hopefully I will be ready to rock and (dare I say) roll for any planned July activities :-)

After further examination of the video, Donny and I have determined that the actual cause of the accident was due to the improper installation of the lucky horseshoe you found on our last ride in Tennessee. The video clearly shows it laying on the ground directly in front of the jeep. Donny says that for horse shoes to bring GOOD luck, they must be securely mounted with the open end pointing up. Any other mounting position will bring BAD luck; which is what appears to have happened here.  ------------- 1998 TJ 4.0 5spd Atlas 36" Swampers RE4.5 ARB's 44/44 |

My brother Alan, an Engineering Mgr with Lock-Mart, who had the extreme pleasure of being in the jeep when we rolled had this to add in response:
"It makes sense…I was having to keep setting the horseshoe right side up the whole trail…I probably didn’t notice it had slid again until after the roll…looks like the process owner is at fault J…you will need to mistake proof this process by properly installing the horseshoe such that the passenger is not required to continually adjust it during trail rides… ;-()"
adjust it during trail rides… ;-() |

Not sure this link will work but here is a picture of the Jeep "after" condition, post-rework at Rocket City Off Road. Taken in the woods of Lauderdale Co last weekend.

Looks good. I like the red door gives it the M&M look  ------------- Toyota |
