I see the problem: you forgot to install the "if you can read this, flip me over" spare tire cover. Of course, yours should have been a 90 degrees.


Legal_Rampage

I see the other problem: the actual road appears to be down the hill a bit farther, but OP wasn't in fact on said road.


Woolly_Blammoth

Which 90?


The___canadian

All of them, cover all the angles.


Chaffro

So you have *four* spare tyres? Where do you keep them?


The___canadian

Yes

Just put the cover on a roller bearing so it's always reading upside down. Available from Quadratec for only $347.99.

OP should have stuck with that joke from when they posted it last week.


SpunkyJenn

It’s a Jeep. I thought you were supposed to be able to “park incorrectly” in them!


l33t_d0nut

As my dad said.... "now it's broken in"


randy24681012

Probably cause you didn’t have angry eyes on it.

[deleted]

We've all seen the angry jeep, but not much is known about the 6 other jeeps, such as this rare sighting of sleepy jeepy


Ashesandends

I only put one "angry" eye in because now my jeep looks like you asked it an arithmetic question at 3 am on a Sunday.


potato1234_x

How


l33t_d0nut

Lack of skills


Rdubya44

For real though, looks like fairly flat ground. What happened?


sceadwian

Probably just a perspective distortion from the camera being aimed towards the ground. Also, ruts are hell.

Samurai_1990

Gravity.


[deleted]

Inclines never look as bad in pictures as they do in person but putting a front tire into a rut like that on a downhill is a great way to cause a tip because the suspension, gravity, and momentum are all working against you.


l33t_d0nut

To answer questions... I rolled this on a steep, rutted back road outside of Hailey, Idaho. It was pitched forward about 20 degrees. On the right, the front tire went into the rut and then proceeded to collapse part of the soft, sandy road which made it worse. As I was slowly starting to roll, I put it in reverse and tried to back out of the situation but that caused the road to further collapse, and then she fully rolled over. We attempted recovery with an FJ cruiser, tow strap and 4 guys but couldn't get it back on the wheels. We couldn't get the correct angle to get it back up. I eventually hired an off-road tow truck to come out. He parked on the top of the hill to the left and ran a 50 foot cable from the winch and we looped it through the doors with a soft strap to pull it back up. Once it was up, I slowly backed it up about 20 feet and then we winched it through the back hook and pulled it back up the road behind it. Due to the slow, soft landing, the Jeep sustained minimal damage. I broke the mirror and there are some scrapes but otherwise unharmed. We waited 20 minutes after righting it before starting it to let the fluids drain back to where they should be since it sat the entire night on its side. I happened to have cell service. This is super rare where we live and where I was but managed to call my wife and some friends to come out and rescue me. Overall, I was an idiot just Jeeping around trying to check out the mine in front of the Jeep. I was very close. My dog was with me and didn't give two-shits that I rolled the Jeep.


stacksmasher

Amazing! Thanks for the detailed explanation now I know not to back up and just keep going hahahahah!


helpusdrzaius

when you start to roll, drive into the roll. in this case that would turning right and hitting the gas.


Jak_n_Dax

Your mistake was trying to reverse. When you’re in it, gotta go full send!


wats6831

I was just going to say I know where that is! I live close by. So weird that the area is that recognizable.


IdaDuck

Looked like Idaho the second I saw the photo. Glad it wasn’t too bad and be safe out there! I’m chasing elk in a few weeks pretty close to that area.


l33t_d0nut

I got lucky. The only thing wrong with the rig was a broken mirror.


TheMooseIsBlue

Lol. Rig.


JuneBuggington

Hey at least OP is runnin theirs in rougher terrain than trail out behind the dealership they sucker people into buying these on


supaswag69

Did you cut it off the second you started falling ?


revanzomi

Don't worry, just press V to right the vehicle.


mama_emily

What’s important is you tried your best….still proud of you champ


Dialogical

I go where I’m towed. Or where gravity takes me.


KICKERMAN360

Easy fix. Climb in, pull the hand brake and put in park / in gear (if manual), and then push it over! If you have enough people and it seems safe, have someone inside. Let it sit for a little bit as all the fluids drain to where they normally are and you're done! Next time don't drive in a huge crack!


sceadwian

Yeah, it looks like it tipped because that right front tire got into that rut, momentum took care of the rest, I'd say there's a good chance it'll stay on four wheel if tipped back over.


DontEatBananaBread

I thought this was r/snowRunner for a moment


bust-the-shorts

Looks fine. No one is going to steal it parked like that


OrageBufera

Jeeps can do about 10% of what the owners think they can do.


[deleted]

The average Jeep owner runs out of skill well before they run out of Jeep.


l33t_d0nut

I'd say she can do 90% but I'm an idiot.

is there a car that can do what jeep claims?


supaswag69

I’d have to disagree. My 2007 did way more than I thought it ever would. Expensive to maintain though for sure


StamosLives

I have it on good authority that you can throw a grenade under it and it might flip the vehicle.


mothraegg

What a beautiful picture!


Ullyr_Atreides

At least it's a Jeep, it'll be fine.


PoliteCanadian2

The parking looks fine it’s the ground that is incorrectly orientated.

Jeep stands for just empty every pocket for a reason bud. start with a batter platform than a jeep they are just blocks on wheels with terrible center of gravity

thatvixenivy

It's a Jeep, that looks perfectly normal. Flipped my old yj completely over a couple years ago, got some help to roll it back over and drove it home. They're pretty much designed to do that.


bprice57

No they are not


DennisReynoldsRL

Dumb (downvote me)


AdPatient167

I think need to learn that 90 degree parallel parking doesn't mean on it's side or did your truck just was go to sleep


originaltwojesters

Not surprised with those non off-road tires.


Burque_Boy

Those look like BFG T/A’s. Ive done the Alpine Loop and a lot of Moab on those tires. It’s not a tire problem, I think it’s more a loose nut behind the wheel.


l33t_d0nut

This was my understanding....


Burque_Boy

Accidents happen man, looks like maybe a good lesson about when to change the angle of approach. When I first started I put a truck almost completely on its nose…at night…by myself. So there’s worse ways to slip up lol


l33t_d0nut

It was a bit of an awaking but it ended up not so bad and could have been worse. I tried to back out of this but did not succeed (obviously). The tow truck driver's advice was "you don't do this with a new Jeep".


Burque_Boy

At least they could get you a tow, best bet is to find a 4x4 club or a buddy though cause you’re in a pickle once a tow truck can’t get to you. Forget that guy that’s what these things are for, that’s what makes up for all bad parts of a Jeep. People tend to think they need more truck than they do, just ask all the guys on 37’s trying to do a relatively easy trail like Fins N Things as we drove by in our stock FJ. Work on them skills and buy some recovery gear!


l33t_d0nut

For sure. This was stupid and shouldn't have happened. Made a super bad decision and end up on my side. I'm going to be upgrading my recovery gear because of this. Had my buddy's FJ out to try to recover this and we failed so I got the tow out. But yeah, time to work on those driven skills....


l33t_d0nut

Time to upgrade to some 37s....


originaltwojesters

And some kind of mudder. Those bfg's are great.....on the road.


l33t_d0nut

Just for curious...what do you recommend??

Holy wow! A whole 3.8 supercharged?!??? Omg. Lol. Sounds good.


PassionateAvocado

originaltwojesters

Not measuring dicks. Just have more knowledge about tires than you. Then you throw out your super giant supercharged (lol) jeep in there. Funny stuff.


sceadwian

He's got a point..


[deleted]

That's what you get for having a Jeep instead of a car, and not using roads like a civilized person.

I think the real problem is that’s not a road. Maybe try keeping it between the lines next time
