Re: This might not have been a good idea, but...
Hi Jim, what are some of the particulars of the pic? Who's in it? It
doesn't really look like it's about to go over, but I guess there
wouldn't be a bunch of guys standing on it if it wasn't (unless the
ground was just too cold) :)
Give us a story!

Re: This might not have been a good idea, but...
Hi twaldron,
(embarrassed, he begins to elaborate)
That's my Jeep one day after I got it. And yes it would have laid on it's
side if not for the counter-weights. (my excuses for being in that
predicament begin here) Manual steering, no flex, open diffs, snow and
slick mud, I slipped a bit and got up on that bank and tree stump, rear
passenger side slid into the rut, and I couldn't move. Had to pull it
backwards to right it. Again, pictures don't always show the angles, but it
was mostly driver error.
Much better flex now:
