Looks like you are checking the underside for structural integrity to me.

Personally I find a set of stands and creeper better but it really doesn’t matter how you do it.

🤔 If it wasn't for the tip sensor I think you would have been able to save it with a strong application of whiskey throttle.

Last second attempt to tighten your line at a dune transition resulting in a snap-roll, maybe???
Not speaking from experience, or anything 😋
👍 You win the grand prize for the most accurate account of what happened.

Need put some weight in passenger side to off set weight in drivers seat. :D
That is what I keep trying to tell my other half but she still refused to go riding with me. Gee, I wonder why?

Sand Anchor anyone?
That would have come in very handy. No one to be found last night so I had to leave her there all night and get help in the morning.

On the bright side, when laid on the Left like that, nothing leaks except a minor amount from the sub trans. She fired right up and drove her back to camp.

Some minor plastic damage and a bent body plastic mount. All good now and back on ground.

So I'm guessing someone winched you back up, a simple 90* pull? Did the winch vehicle drag much? If not this, how? Inquiring minds … 🤔

8.0 earthquake. Didn’t see it coming 🙄
Actually, I think it may have been the first symptoms of Covid-19. She just wasn't feeling 100% yesterday and let me know it. Put her in a demanding, high stress situation so she coughed and sputtered and she laid down. I guess I better quarantine her, mask her up and get her tested as soon as i get home. :)

Yes, exactly. Put a tow strap on the right rear wheel (highest point for the most leverage) and it came right back over, easier than I thought it would. Neither vehicle moved much, maybe 6 inches each.

Glad you and the car are all ok!! That's the important part! In only the second time my wife has ever come off-roading with me (years of jeeping and the last 4-5 on sxs and I put it on her side!!! She had been chirping in my ear all day with "driving suggestions".....put it on its side and she didn't say a word!! I think I scared all the words out of her!!:p Needless to say she has not come again yet!! :(

One thing is for sure you had some time to think about it as you walked out. It takes 5 guys to tip it back over or 3 really big guys. Glad your ok.

Yah, I couldn't even budge it. Luckily, I was only about 1/2 mile out when it happened.

BUT, it only take 2 guys to roll it back off it's top (don't even ask me how I know that fact) :)
