Looks like a Blast! Was the tip over a result of sliding off the side or were you going through the muddy ruts to start with?We hit Windrock on Sunday and here's how it went...
On the way to Windrock we joined the cracked windshield club. It was impressive to get a nice star crack considering the closest car was half a football field away.
Badged out on trail 51 and received our first set up pinstripes courtesy of over hanging brush branches right at the head of the trail.
"The one thing I fear is tipping this thing" within 30 seconds we were laying on our side in a ditch. @ACE Engineering thanks for making KILLER rails that bolt to the frame. Were it not for having these rails on the Jeep we would have rolled onto our side and sustained damage to the rocker and doors. With them on the Jeep rested on the rail with no problems at all. I'd estimate we were at least 45 degrees angled as I couldn't even hold the door open to get out. We both crawled out the passenger window. There was a major rut on trail 22 that we were not tall enough to clear. We went around it and I thought I was far enough driver side to clear it... I wasn't. By the time the Mrs. saw it was too late.
Side winched the front tire back to ground and pulled/drove us out with in 10 minutes, smoked like a biotch for a bit since I sucked oil in PCV.
On the way home we pulled into Hardee's to use the bathroom. Saw "Step Child" in the parking lot, ran into the bathroom, took one look at that toilet and said "no way". Saw @Kevin8086 and LiteBrite sitting there with friends. Since he is like world famous I thought about asking for his autograph but thought better of it and continued my quest for a clean toilet
Enjoy the pics.

We took the ground next to the rut because we didn't have enough clearance to go in the rut. The passenger rear slid right down in, you want to talk about a pucker factor, there is nothing you can do in a situation like this except pray you don't roll.
Yeah I bet. Looked like a yikes moment!
That's hard core!!!Wow super scary looking. So glad it didn’t turn over! :0 great photos.
All I can offer in return is my dog in the back of my Jeep!
Man, she looks pissed. Is it because you’re trying to get her out of the Jeep?Wow super scary looking. So glad it didn’t turn over! :0 great photos.

Just gotten in and realized it was vet checkup time. Thought she was going for a walk.
Windrock in Oliver Springs, TN.
Aah okay, I thought maybe it was in NC. I’ll have to check that out. Thanks!
