On saturday I went with the www.wheelingarizona.com guys out
to do Chivo falls. its rated a 3.5+ and was a nice run, not alot of miles but alot of rocks. with little 32s I was draging my skids and gas tank all the time, but there built for that.

any ways I invited my neightbor Aaron in his Toyota 4-runner with the 63in chevy rears, double shackels, and a d44 SAS with hgih steer and yota-(4in YJ) leaf combo up front adn 35in MTRs.

Any ways he flopped it in the crack, (No pics) (have VHSof it) only cuase one little dent, then at the falls whil parking he ROLLED.:D


no one was hurt.

his passenger side frotn tire went off this rock aaron is standing on, and it roled forward as it rolled down the hill to where it sits.

that heavy roof rack may have cuase the roll, with all the weight but it also help prevented it from rolling further down the hill.

dammage was not that bad.

with no seatbelt he was thrown to the passenger side, and it looks like his knee hit the windshile and cuase the crack.

the roll cause his engine to come off the motor moutns and ripped hiw power steering lines.

Since aaron fell to teh passenger seat he couldent turn off the engine too fast and oil drained into the spark plugs and all inside the cabbin all over hte passenger side of the 4-runner.

the roof had the most body dammage,

lost the rear tail light, and the side mirror, all the doors are functional and no glass but the windshield broke.. over all it was nto banged up bad.

I jacked up the rear with my high jack and slid my spare tire under there to help prevent more dammage as we slid his rear end so that his nose woudl point up the hill...

We used a K5 to winch it up useing the frame first to get the nose pointed up the hill, then pulled form the drivers side knuckle on the axle to right it up on 3 wheels...

after we got it up right we checked the fluids, pluged the ripped off power steering lines. and started it up.. it blew white smoke the whole way home.. but now is fine..

It was an adventerious trail run.. we had alot of carnage this trip, one broke d44 shaft or hub on one of the broncos, the k5 broke a drive shaft joint. a bronco completely bashed in his door on a V-crack section.

good fun..made monday at work not feal like a so band monday...
have fun be safe..
