Rolled or jumped KJ's

CD · **Posted:** Wed May 21, 2008 6:33 am

I've not seen pics or posts about a KJ that rolled on a trail, anyone know of one that did? I've seen post's for ones that have rolled or tipped on the road but not trail and when I was looking at youtube the other day there was heaps of TJ's but no KJ's

Also what about KJ's that have jumped anything, there are some cool TJ's jumping but no KJ's. Me, I'd never jump my KJ as I think it's asking for trouble but hey some may have.

I rolled my 2002 KJ off a 15-17ft drop. They now call that spot "Liberty Hill". I rolled end over end then sdie over side...landed on my tires and kept driving the rest of the day.

And when my wife rolled ours it jumped the curb first so technically it was off road.

I had a lady @ work today ( I'm a paramedic ) that swerved to miss a deer, and rolled her 03 Libby three times, with major front end damage, ending up in a ditch. She opened the door and walked away with no injuries.

Made me feel safer in mine !!

well, as long as he didnt have his foot on the gas when he landed, the diff was probably ok i suppose. now the suspension might be a different story?

He's just doing a quick tire rotation!

Does almost count? Rain + clay + slope + brakes = Whoops. The pucker factor was up there. Should have been on the gas when she first started to come around. Lesson learned!

I have caught air a couple times, too. Once in Mexico trying to get out of a dune basin, and another time cresting a wash lip. I can still remember the horrible pounding feeling of the front suspension bottoming out (over and over). Not exactly plush. Fun, though.

Those tires look like Interco Super Swamper TSL/Boggers. I wonder what size they are. I didn't think they made a size that would fit on a KJ.

So none of you guys from the Rockies know who this is? It has Colorado plates on it.

I wonder if they are 31x 12.5's spaced out a bunch? The only other size that is even close is 33 x 10.5.
