I'm going to be driving the Yaris A lot more again (ROLLED JEEP)

[darthbauer]

Like the title says, I rolled my new jeep... like 3 or 4 times I think. My shoulder is all messed up from the seat belt and the top of my head is cut up from it hitting the ground while rolling (top was down). Other than that im fine. I will post pics of the Jeep when I get some. She is done, not a panel that is not dented or scratched or bent, rear axle is bent from hitting the curb sideways at 40mph.

[Shroomster]

glad you're ok and I hope you heal up soon!

[DFA]

That just doesn't sound good at all. Sorry about your accident mate. Really glad you could make it out of there and were able to type that in here now.

[KCALB SIRAY]

Ohhh snap. what the hell happened? Oh man I'm glad you are ok. Wow, not sure what to say.

[LtNoogie]

Damn! Was it the seatbelts that held you in?

[eTiMaGo]

yikes! glad you're OK! better stick to a lower center of gravity for a while! :biggrin:

Either i spaced for a sec or I was following to close and the big ass flatbed truck in front slammed on his breaks to turn and I swerved left to miss him then swerved back right to straighten out and then almost hit someone back in the right lane so then went back left and hit the center divider sideways. So I flipped across the on coming traffic into the bike lane and on the sidewalk and stopped on my driver side.

sooooo this begs the question, why were you not waring your helmet like in your avatar, hmmmm?

Indeed. I'm almost turned off of Jeeps for right now. Almost. I dont think I would mind if it was a trailer queen.

Rangefinder broke off a week back and its in the shop.

[Shroomster]

isn't that just the luck? god....anyways good to know you're alright.

[darthbauer]

Yeah, I was hanging in there.

[LtNoogie]

What year and model Jeep?

[darthbauer]

Here are some pics that the wife took with her phone.

Front shot, not so bad, but did you know that Jeeps have 4 wheel steering?? Oh yeah they dont.

see, now you can brag to your friends you went to Moab and rolled it on Potato Salad Hill...I kid, seriously, glad it wasn't worse. You were able to do what a lot poeple don't do, walk away.

It is (was) an 04 Wrangler.

Human body does not make for a good roll cage .
glad you are not to badly hurt , apart from your pride,no doubt.
take care.

[m911gt]

damn, i'm very sorry to hear about your accident but i'm glad that you are mostly ok. i'm sure the yaris will be glad to see more of you.

[dvlnblkdrs]

and u were gonna get rid of the yaris! :eek: glad u still got the yar to fall back on.. hope this doesnt set u too far back

[SilverBack]

Sorry to hear that. I can tell it was a sweet Wrangler at before the wreck. At least you're okay

[ka0sx]

Itll buff right out!

-that is all

[YarisOwnersDad]

Aw, all that stuff will buff out OK, I think. :smile:


Glad you are OK. I'm a Jeeper, too. I've got an 01 Wrangler Sport that doesn't see much time on the pavement any more. About the only time I drive on pavement is when I am on my way to or from my wheelin' place.

[slothman86]

wow, pretty lucky! I wonder how the Yaris would have done in a roll like that!

[MadMax]

Damn, as a fellow Jeep/Yaris combo owner, I hate to see it when a rig gets wrecked. At least when it's on the trail it makes for a good story (as long as you aren't hurt).

I don't even know if you can make a trail rig out what's left, it looks pretty bent up. But, as others have said, what's important is that you aren't banged up too bad...

Cheers! M2

[YAR1S]

at least it held up good.... but damn not that good..... that sucks :[ at least you still have your head... and face.... and life.

[rningonfumes]

Wow, glad you're okay, I've been through a few roll overs myself in the past. That was a nice jeep!

[Benggolf2]

Good to know you walked away. Stay safe and drive carefully.

[tk-421]

Good to know you're OK. :thumbsup:

[Deltasix]

Wow, those are some pics. Glad you're okay after rolling over in a soft-top car.

[LtNoogie]

What's with all the Jeep/Yaris owners? Maybe we all liked how high the stock Yaris sat?

2002 Liberty 4x4 here.
