Whoops I did it again......

To keep a short story short, I was doing some yard work and it fell over.... on flat ground. EBSTEVE came to rescue....thanks dude. Needless to say, that's the end of the Bronco II. RIP. The crazy part is, it happened almost 5 years to the day as the first time I rolled it. 7/16/01 and 7/9/06.

Well maybe it's true about 13. I've had my Bronco 13 years. I've been saying that I was going to replace it for a couple years now. This "incident" just nudged me along. Fortunately, no money parts were damaged. I was a little worried about the radiator, but it seems fine, as is the K&N ....just bent the stud sticking out of the carb a hair.

I'm surprised it took the damage it did for such a light roll. I still can't believe it rolled at all, especially considering all the crazy situations I've been in over the years. Even as it was happening, I didn't think I was going over, Then.....I realized I was going over, but it was too late to do anything

. I'm sure I could have throttled out. I'm certain that It rolled because I had the radius arm pinned. I had been in that exact spot many times before crunching down the black berries.

Anyway, time to close that chapter. I could pound it back straight again, but I'm ready for a fresh start. That body was coming apart at the seams and I didn't really feel safe driving it on the street any more. Now I have to figure out something for the snow this winter.

At least you were close to home and it wasn't your daily driver anymore...

Glad to see you are not hurt.

With all that money you are saving with the Jetta, I am sure you had enough money to fill Steve's tank. 50 miles X 3 MPG =$$$$$$$
