Good plan!! There's nothing on your Jeep body that can't be fixed. It's
WAY harder to fix the driver's and passenger's bodies.

Obviously you didn't support the weight of your Jeep, but it was still
moving when you put your feet out, and you could have found yourself trying
to hold it up.

Part of the fun and games is to balance your Jeep at just the right spot
where it will hold itself up, but that you can rock it easily. Basically, I
have put my CJ on the sweet spot several times, kind of like balancing a
'fridge on a hand truck. If the 'fridge is too far one way, it falls back
onto its feet, too far the other way and you get crushed. The sweet spot is
where the load is entirely on the wheels and you can rock the 'fridge back
and forth in a narrow range. Getting your Jeep into this narroow range can
be a delight, but because the range is quite narrow, you want to be sure you
are fully inside the protective confines of the roll cage.

NEVER EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUNSTANCE should you or anybody else put a arm or
leg outside the vehicle in an attempt to keep it upright. This is a recipe
for serious injury, maybe even a serious death.

Roll overs generally follow an episode of bouncing. If you are climbing a
hill, and begin to bounce, then you are ripe for a roll over. Bouncing can
result in broken Ujoints, which then results in a rapid decent backwards,
which leads to a roll over. You should try to avoid bouncing, especially
while hill climbing.

I always hit the hill on my first approach in a manner that is probably too
slow to make it, but if I don't make it, I get a good feel for what is going
to happen if I give more gas. If I stall out the motor, then I shift into R,
refire, and back down. I make a second attempt based upon the experience of
the first, if the hill is too steep, I take the bypass. If the hill causes
my Jeep to bounce, I take the bypass. If I simply bog down because I am
going too slow, I hit it again with more gas, and walk right up.

With each new passenger, I go through the routine of explaining
what the chicken bar is for, and when we then fall over, I'm screaming
at them to tuck their arms in, it works.
