After seeing treeshark's thread about his wreck and remembering my buddy's wreck last year as well as thinking about when my J20 blew up I wanna start a thread. i want this thread to be about fsj's that gave it all to keep their owner's safe.

Alot of people give me flak about driving something unsafe but out of the half dozen or more wrecks I've read about on ifsja over the years i can't think of one single fatality considering the massive amounts of damage done to the vehicle in each case. Yeah i seem to remember one or two that the drivers got pretty banged up but most of 'em ended with scratches cuts and stuff.

post up with a picture and a story. the cherokee is my buddy sean's, i'll let him tell the tale.

I remember both of those posts.

I lost control of mine messing around on icy roads in 2WD, hit the telephone pole hard enough to break it. We both walked from this, luckily it didn't hit any further back.

Just noticed this thread.

I was coming out of Forest Lake PA headed for Little Meadows on some back road doing between 35-45 and I had a paddle boat strapped to the Tad-Rack. I was coming around this turn that comes down a hill followed by a rise and an immediate dip. In the dip stood a black bear so when I came up on it I went off to the right side of the road and realised that I'd go into a ditch if I kept at it so I turned the wheel left towards the bear hoping to miss it. I caught it with the left front corner of the Jeep causing it to do a 180* crossing the on coming lane then going off the road backwards and flipping around another 90* catching a tree behind the driver's door. Only the body was messed up...
