Add to that a 10" (I think) suspension lift and a 4" body lift and it was a bit top heavy and over she went.....rolling 3+ times to the bottom.

Pretty scary to watch and the noise was more than you could imagine. 4 people inside were all fine and walked away. He even drove back to Gonzo after straightening a few things out.

The driver knows he blew it on a few fronts but kept a great attitude about it. No crying. Locked it up, made plans for it's repair and rode shotgun the rest of the week.
