Well since Phil didn't post anything I figured I would. Our nephew and three of his friends came to visit us from NY for New Years. One of the things they wanted to do while they were here was go 4 wheelin so Phil and I took them out to Calico for a day. We took my Explorer, Phil's FJ40 and two quads. Phil and I started out driving but later in the day let our nephews drive the trucks (one is 21 the other is 19). Nate who is the 19 year old was driving the Explorer with Kylie, Mya, Meagan and his girlfriend riding along. Eric was driving the FJ with me and Erin riding along and Phil and Ryan were riding the quads in the lead. We were coming down a twisty dirt path that had some tight turns when Eric picked a wrong line and then hit the brakes. The result...

I circled the hole he put the front left tire in that made us tip over.

We were all buckled in so no one was hurt except Eric's pride. To get it back on it's wheels I just found a way back to the top of the hill and then backed the Explorer down the hill above the FJ. We had to use two straps to reach the Explorer and then I just pulled it back on it's wheels. There wasn't any damage done to the FJ because it landed on the rock sliders and the roll bar.

Oh, Eric is the one in the FJ and Nate is the one without his shirt on standing behind.

It was a really slow roll and he was actually pretty calm. Even Erin who's 2 didn't get upset. Then again she was in a car seat with padding and 5 point harness so she really didn't even move.

On a side note Eric and I are going drag racing tomorrow but I'm not going to let him drive the Chevelle. :lol:
