Nah, the wife and dog were out of it shooting video. as soon as it happened i unbuckled myself and scrambled out. it looked a lot worse but we took a cable and pulled the pillars back enough to where we could get in. what's really surprising is that it started right up and we drove it off the trails. I think it runs better now

you'll be slightly diappointed in the video. my wife was filming and about the time my tire lifted she dropped the camera and missed the entire roll. you can see the aftermath and recovery but that's about it.

go check out our photo gallery under "Rides". It has the original pictures of what it looked like before we straightened the roof.
here's a sample:

Glad to here you were ok Nick. Those pictures make me really want to put a cage in my jeep sooner rather than later. I am going to guess that your front end slid over towards the bank and then caught on a rock or something? How did it perform otherwise?

Nick glad you are OK. Like the others have chimed in...looks like the saws all gets a workout and then the tube bender gets fired up.
This is motivation to finish my cage.
Gald it was no more that a little sheet metal being bent. Now get to work...I know it nevers ends.
