well, i was coming home from my friends house at around 11:30 at night with 4 other people. i live on a dirt road and was going around 35...anyway i was coming up to a sharp curve so i started braking and when i did that it started sliding... i kept sliding, and swereved to not go into the ravine. I hit a embankment and my car flipped on its side. it was probally the scariest thing that has ever happened to me im glad no one died.

this is the ravine i dodged

the curve the following day

Sounds like things could've been a whole lot worse. Glad nobody's hurt. The stock tires are bad enough with tread on them. Bald, they're deadly.

Glad you are OK, nothing major on the KJ just some good "trail" damage!

stock junk tires, wash board road, and you have all the makings for a nice fender bender.

Glad that you are OK. I have seen multiple KJ's in roll overs at work. (paramedic). Every one so far the passengers have opened the door and walked away with no serious injuries, with a totaled KJ.

IMO a VERY SAFE vehicle.

Glad you and your passengers are okay! Everyone has to take a "thrill ride" at some time in their life. Maybe you got yours out of the way early on.

glad to hear everyone is ok. now for the body damage, they are gonna have to replace the door skin, its alot easier then pulling the dent out and filling it with body filler and such. now for the question about the engine. how long was it on its side? good have some damage to the engine, with all the oil running down everywhere in and outside the engine, you should really look into to that and make sure its not too bad.
