That would have been a scary moment :o

Get out alright?

[GQtray]

Why not??looks like fun ;D

[Bucking Fox]

Yep! Luckily got snatched back a bit and straightened up. No damage apart from the driver's side seat cover. My 8 yr old son who was on the passenger side wasn't too impressed though. :-[

Now that is a good example of

Leanability – (adj) the degree of incline that can be achieved by an object before gravity takes over and a vertical surface comes into contact with a horizontal one.

The troopy scores merit but the 80 shoulda kept driving.....

Thats just normal wheeling ;)

I think he had to service his undies after that.....

[kitch76]

Mate did a similar trick in his courier going into the pig pen at LCPM as the troopie. He was scared stiff. But some bloke hooked up a snach and pulled him out after screeming no no no wait!!!! He left his bundy can on the back of the courior.....

[BJHilly]

hah hah... could imagine sheeet me bundy can!
that troopy is amazing, just seeing how close he must of came to tipping over. not bad.
how bad was it at the front of the 80 series though my comp doesn't show it up to well looks dark.
i would of thought it would keep goin dropping the ass down when ready or i suppose put it on its side lol.

you can't really see what it's like in front of the cruiser........ i'm sure if it was driveable he would have driven out of it.

i looked at the pic and saved it......... i straightened it up (the trees were leaning ;)) and drew a line from the outside of the passenger side wheel........ looks to me like he was awefully close to the point of no return.

http://members.westnet.com.au/klown/mypic21.jpg

[BJHilly]

wicked... not bad at all.
yeah looks like the only thing stooping it is that rear wheel up against the dirt lol

[Snofox]

80 series could quite easily go beyond a lean like that before falling over.

If there were not too many large obstacles in front of the passenger front wheel, its a simple left hand down, and slowly drive forward would correct it easily.

If too many obastacles in front, then simply right hand down and reverse out.



Still.., it looks good anyway.

[Jys5428]

Yeah I agree, aint no big thing, I get angles like that getting in and out of my drivway! ::)












Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Sorry I was dreaming again. :-\

[crankycruiser]

I know from experience that the fotos never look as bad as it is/feels........

And its all good to give advice on how to drive out when we are not there eh? ::)

for a start we can't see in front of the vehicle...... maybe he couldn't get any left hand down to bring it back.... like ya said cranky.... it's all too easy to give advice when we weren't there.

No idea what was in front of me at the time although I do know the passenger side was about an inch from the dirt. The tyres were the only thing stopping it from going over. From memory though I think their was a 6 - 12 inch drop in the rut just in front of the front left tyre.

The guys I was with decided that backwards progress was more advisable than driving forwards and frankly I was happy to follow their lead.

If I'd been a little more aware of my wheel positioning and the way they were pointing then I wouldn't have been in that predicament in the first place. Still, we live and learn.

At the end of the day I got out without panel damage and the only dents were in my pride.

As for being diferant next time well I don't know about that as I have rolled the 60 series 3 times and still have not learned my leason because if it is still drivable it is still good but now beleive road building is good as last time I rolled it cost me heaps to get it back home.

nice pucka factor
whats infront of your front left tyre? more hole?
looks like a good way to learn the limits of your car and get used to off camber ;D

i get myself into these regulary to keep me on my toes
and is good to show off to ya mates ;D

What strain?

i was thinking the same thing actually 8) 3 wheels on the ground.......

[Loz]

Pursued a troopie once - you want to talk leanability - the crazy bastard was fishtailing the troopy on bitumen and we were sitting back waiting for it to tip but it wouldnt. Then he went bush onto a minesite and hit a stack of pallets doing about 70. The front drivers wheel was about 8 foot off the deck but it still stayed upright! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself - wish we had a video going.

Anyway the main thing was he got caught and no one was hurt!!

don't cop cars have video cameras now? or is it only highway patrol?

[taziiy]

yeah there are a few general duties around here with them in

[Loz]

We bloody should have but in WA they wont let us have v8s let alone video cameras! I asked about roll cages once and got told the idea is to keep all four wheels on the ground!

I know how you feel. Somtimes there's a point where gravity and subsequentail lack of traction dictates that you ain't going forwards or backwards. I'm just glad my partner in crime got rid of his 60 series and bought a Nissan (well a Maverick anyway) so there's no more photo opportunities displaying a Tojo pulling out a Nissan. That only ever happened cause he couldn't make it through the actual track in his tojo and was allready at the top via the sissy track!!! At least he gets to have a go at the real tracks since he saw the light and got a decent fourby ;D

Skid marks? Nah not really I was sorta expecting to flop it at some stage over the event so I was pretty much mentally prepped - but failed to actually do so :-X

[GUJohnno]

But not the only time you've been in an interesting situation tho BuckingFox......

is that strap wrapped around the bullbar!! :o :o :o

[yellashorty40]

holy crap that strap is around the bar ... what the .... :o ???

[mulesa]

umm, i dnt no bout u guys, but i thought that was a bad thing to doooooooooo :o

[yellashorty40]

yup ... i wouldnt do it

[GUJohnno]

Note: the strap was put on there to stop the vehicle leaning over any further whilst Buckingfox reversed. It wasn't on there to snatch the vehicle.

[GUJohnno]

One of the most awsome tracks in Vic....

Abbots Creek Tk

[GUJohnno]

You can see that there is almost no tyre pressure on the LHS. What was needed was a bit of restrant higher up than a recovery point just make sure it didn't roll over.

you got side strps on that? is that why you didn't get any damage down the side.

There used to be although they wouldn't have helped much in that situation. It was the tyres and rims that basically stopped it going any further.

Damn! and I was hoping this thread was going to drop off the first page :-[

Mate, what did ya dooooo :o :-\



The idea was to stop when the rear wheel lost traction as it was just about to lift off the ground, however with the diff locks in of course it just kept driving, shouts of STOP from the crowd went unheard.

Only damage was to the pride of the driver :-X

PS Not my ute and I wasn't the driver ;D
