My buddy sent me this pictures of his work in progress from his driveway the other day    

We all knew he was going to flop this truck, but none of us imagined he would do it in his own driveway.  

He said he went over and rocked the truck a little bit and it tipped over.

[Dingman.]

Its probably from those  wheels!

Here's the results of letting a novice wheel your pristine Cruiser.

[Slolyfe]

That sucks bro. At least parts for those are cheap!

not sure how i forgot to post up, but heres my pic from the last trip of the season. made it past pivot rock in little sluice and didnt get on it hard enough.

[whata]

lol at the tractor

[gtoyonrocks]

That drive way flop is a pretty funny pic. I don't know if I would be honest about that or not. I would probably cry if I had a cruiser that nice and rolled it. Thanks for sharing the pics.

[muddytaco]

man i dont think id ever recover if i had a cruiser and rolled it

[skipnrocks]

well i put my rig on its side last weekend, lucked out the tube fenders saved my body, and the windshield haning up on that rock kept me from rollin the rest of the way down the hill...

[46&2]

Nice!!

Really, it just looks like you need a rear locker and to put it in reverse out of that mess

[skipnrocks]

lol, I have a rear locker, it might have worked but I wasnt wanting to trash my DD or promote a full roll as this is the top of a big hill with nothing to stop me till the bottom

[GotMyYotaBack]

Yeah...... just a lil bit different.....

a couple more that went from not bad (flop) to really bad; battery box lid came loose and grounded out positive terminal and killed the battery. (not enough juice to run the fan and injectors I think I could have made it if I didn't get in that situation....




I had 3 points of contact on the rocks, I think I could have made it

pics will come soon. anyone have a problem with there engine knocking after they flop? mine knocks pretty bad but don't really know why it does all the sudden. my engine wasn't running while flopped. its a 2.7 3rz. any help would be appreciated.

[Dingman.]

If its knocking id say its time to find out where its coming from and then open it up and take a look most likely

[matthewh]

damn that suck I have no idea hope you resolve your problem.

did you pull your plugs out before you restarted it? Oil will get into the combustion chambers and causes HIGH compression (fluids do not compress) thus bending a rod...... You most likely bent a rod if you didnt pull the plugs and cranked it over to blow the oil out of the cylinders. Hope that advice helps....

[<MIKE>]

ya i pulled the plugs but maybe i didn't do it long enough? i blew alot of oil out.

[twistedtoy92]

could be..... doesnt take much liquid to raise the compression a ton!

[rockwalker]

the Rubicon got both of us about 40 feet apart. I dropped off a 6 foot wall of dirt and my buddy didn't see the big 4 foot rock in front of him

[twistedtoy92]

Bummer......

[gtoyonrocks]

That is a bummer but that kind of stuff happens... I can't even tell you how many times my crawler has been on it's side.

[monk #1164]

ah the badges of honer...even my jeep has seen a little dirt and rocks on its door.(earlier post)

[SloCrawler]
