Jessica - No worries about revealing Dave's identity... I was only leaving his name out as a sort of inside joke.


As for there being a Rock vs. No Rock - I was just going by what I remember him posting, way-back-when...
(and I swear I'm not trying to be a smart - <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> here...)





It turns out that I was wrong about him being outside of the vehicle when it rolled.

Too bad the photo links have expired since then û I donÆt know why (maybe a morbid curiosity), but IÆd kinda like to have seen them again.



Anyway, suffice it to say that rollovers do occur in Uwharrie from time-to-time - and that itÆs happened at least once to an Isuzu owner. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Well, it turns out the Gasoline Gods aren't the ones who are raining on my Uwharrie parade, the Catalytic Coverter gods are. As some may have seen from my post in the Isuzu Talk forum, I failed state inspection today due to a bad cat. (I was always a dog person myself...) Not sure how the finances are going to shape up just yet but I'm hoping to find a less expensive way out of this than shelling out the 1200 bucks for a new cat. I'm not signing up for the 'count me out' list just yet, but I may be treading VERY lightly for fear of expensive breakage. Rubo may not be the best choice as my co-pilot this time around. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Who is charging you 1200 bucks for a new cat??? Sounds lika rip-off to me.

I think the point Jess was trying to make and in echo of what Jordan said... rollovers aren't likely at Uwharrie! Rock or no rock, Dave's rollover happened on flat ground and was pretty much a result of being yanked off the rock he was high centered on. He'll be the first one to tell ya all about it, even using his own name... thats Dave.

I've seen many rolls happen at Uwharrie, but none a result of technical wheeling. All the roles I've witnessed are accidental and a result of circumstance or not-so-mature behavior. Like Jessica said, our sport is dangerous, and under the right circumstances, a roll over could happen in the middle of a flat field (go talk to Camo over on PBB). But if we all pratice caution and trail ediquette as the Isuzu group generally does, there should be nothing to worry about and likelyhood of that kind of damage is very small.

Enough bad,mean talk about the the HEEP <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/nana.gif" alt="" />.....afterall it's a Jeep thing right <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />


Anyways,
WillV go to Summit Racing and buy an aftermarket
Cat and have a muffler shop install,maybe even the same shop
that'll do your inspection,since all it failed for was the cat that's all most shop's will look at.Should be under $50
to install the new cat.

ANd as for rolling over,anywhere you go you can do something just alittle too much and then oops <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

Say your cruisin' the mall looking for chicks and you decide to do a nice smokey donut to try and impress the ladies <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />...next thing you know that donut turns into an oops and the truck is on it's side........just cause a camaro just did the same thing doesn't mean a truck was made to do it.

RTI ramps can turn into rollovers also,just ask the guys
that try to see how far up them they can drive,with the rear tire off the ground.......big thing now seems to be how far (Distance wise) they can drive OFF the ramp
<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> anyways just another example of taking a little bit more of the pie.
If people would stop as soon as the tire leaves the ground,and use the ramps for testing/evaluation tools then folks wouldn't roll on them........but......

Like everything in life people get bored and/or stupid and try to spice things up,this is when OOPS will happen.

Enough already,my two fingers are sore from typing.....

Come to Uwharrie for fun and don't be conscerned about rolling,unless you wanna do something stupid-----in that case most of us will be there to warn you and take pictures <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

And for Clarification:



My badà
I didnÆt mean to imply that rollovers were commonplace occurrences.

And since Alcohol Consumption was mentioned earlierà

From yet another Uwharrie Labor Day Weekend threadà



IÆm willing to give the author the benefit of the doubt here - but this statement could very easily be interpreted to mean that there was drinking going on while they were out on the trails.


For the recordà



This group [i]DOES NOT Drink While 4-Wheel-Drivingà
Such behavior will not be condoned or tolerated, PERIOD!


Not a single one of us wants to have their 4x-fun ruined by some jerk whoÆs had a few too many. --- WeÆre not the Morality Police or anything like that - but weÆve established a very good reputation in Uwharrie, and we damn-well intend to keep it!


`Nuff said.

Hey man, this will be my 5th time, and as everyone knows, that also grants me permission to act like a know it all <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" /> to new comers.....so cool it! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
j/k, man <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />


As for food, thats already been tossed around a little bit. What did we come up with? Chili by Andre? Gumbo by Bill? The new tradition of Saturday night in-town?
Im down for whatever.

Now, as for entertainment.....thats a whole different animal. Pete, can you rig us up something cool like last time? Smokey and the Bandit would be cool. Or maybe the new Dukes of Hazzard will be out by then.....(can anybody say Daisy Duke version 2.0......newer and VERY improved! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />)
