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

Nope, never seen that KJ before.

I think they do a 31/10.5/15 but not a 16", I will have a look.

On that Upside down one... does it even have any skids? It clearly doesn't have rock rails or a gas tank skid. Kinda risky given the terrain in the background.

On another note, I REALLY thought I was gonna roll mine last weekend. I was at Uwharrie, NC and got into a really awkward angle on Sawmill Trail or Rocky Mountain Loop going around a 90 degree turn that went down hill. My front tire went off the front of a 10" rock and the whole jeep shifted weight (like a teeter totter) to the front tire. Normally that wouldn't be scary, but when you are almost sideways, it gets hairy. It came close to a sideways roll. Luckily it didn't, and if it had, it would have not been a complete rollover due the the 4 foot bank on that side, but I would have crunched some door panels.

Another place on the trail I came close to rolling it again. Wife was a nervous wreck (that was on Dicky Bell for wnyone who has been there.)
I wish I had thought to get pics. I was a little concerned about getting out, afraid it would shift the weight again.

Off topic, but those super swampers look to be mounted "backwards"

I wonder if that actually helps at all

Man I still have mine ingrained in my mind as I saw it roll in the rear view mirror. It served it's purpose well and I really miss the milage. Maybe I should post a "what I up to Now" in the near future.

Yep, I remember your therad... a sad day for sure.

Any pics of the new rig, 7" lift and 33's sounds good

. I know it's not the topic of the therad but I'm interested to see it, or if you have a link.
