Lol IK what you meen I flipped mine it sat on her roof for 2 hours and ran for a min or two while it was on its roof (oops) all I did was drop some trans fluid in her and fired her off then she shut down almost instantly found out a relay had shorted out from the water I flipped it in. Replaces that fired her off popped the roof out and been driving the F*ck out of her ever since gotta love an XJ.

Definitely true. Can't worry too much about hurting it now, there's tons of small-medium dents on it now lol. On a side note, flipping my Jeep over finally got me the trans fluid change I've been putting off

^ a mallet, hammer, or bottle jack with some sort of extension... anything that will push it back. It will never look the same as you'll most likely have a crease there where the metal folded.


OP- are you going to put a cage in it? You really made out on that one, I think it got more dents yesterday making a new trail than you did rolling

Considering its a roll over your lucky at what damage you have. I also owned 3 towing companies in the Denver, CO. area and have see a lot of them.

One thing you should look at are the differentials they may have drained out some gear oil through the vent tubes some while upside down.
