Default Well now I've done it :(

Rolled my 97 5 speed. On pavement too Luckily I was able to call my own wrecker and have it towed to the shop I work at so I still have all my parts. Now I have to find another body. Anyone know of any near Columbus, Ohio?

I'm sure glad you seem to be OK. That is scary. Many people have rolled their lifted XJ on pavement and offroad. Makes me worry. And wonder how/why.
Did you have to make an evasive maneuver? Mechanical failure? I look for the causes to hopefully prevent it from happening.
Regards, Steve

turning left into traffic out of the gas station after filling up for the week. of course the *******s who were passing that I was going to pull behind slowed down so I kinda swerved to the right and back to the left to come around the back of them. I guess frusteration had gotten the best of me and I ended up on my lid. After I got out I did see that one of my quick disconnects had lost a pin and come disconnected... I'm sure that didn't help.

Thanks for the reply. I have witnessed a car spin out of control doing the same maneuver. Quick right-hand lane change then jerked the wheel back left, spun 540 degrees across 4 lanes..

Glad you're ok. As long as it still runs alright I'd do as you say and find a cheap donor body and swap all your stuff over to it.
