When was this?????
That wagoneer is on SLICKROCK!! whitch is CLOSED?!?!?!??
Bad mojo for sure. A truck's cab is NOT protection in a rollover situation. this is ESPECIALLY true for our early broncos. The stock rollbar will do nothing from keeping your windsheild fron meeting your lap.
Good point for spectators too. If you are BELOW the truck on the trail it can be on top of you before you know it.

That's one of the rebelrockrunners crew. I've seen that rig on the trail at tellico.

The Toyota is at the beginning of the climb on Guardrail wich is open. Still good advice for spectators - stand up hill or COMPLETELY out of the way.

The Wagoneer is on Slickrock, but I think that pic is a couple years old.
I gave Slickrock a good try a couple of months before the closure and had to pull cable. It doesn't look like it, but it's actually a very difficult obstacle with many opportunities to roll or flop. Sure hope I get another chance at sometime in the future.

A rollover can happen to anyone at any time - there's nothing like having a good cage to help keep you safe. Seatbelts help too as long as you wear them :xyxthumbs:
