My almost really bad day.

[Jess]

I have been looking for a trailer for a while and the other day, while looking through the paper I found one I liked. When I got home with it, I put the trail rig on it and went to back it into place, out of the way.
I usually park the trail rig next to my house, beside a drainage ditch with about a six foot retaining wall. Whenever I went to put the trailer, with the Jeep on it, in place the ground and then the wall started to crumble.

I immediately chained the DD to the trailer and attached the trail rig to the trailer...since the rear passenger tire almost slid off the trailer when the wall broke.

At that time I called fellow Jeepers and help came! Thanks rredalty (Matt)

We deflated the driver side tires on the trailer to attempt to level it as much as possible. Then I had to drive the Jeep off the trailer, without dumping it on its top. Matt put a tow strap through the windows and hooked it to the winch and kept tension on me while I pulled it off.

While pulling off the trailer the only damage that was done is a busted tail light to the trail rig...I caught it with my front bumper.

When it was all done, I got a good deal on a trailer, no real damage was done, and I learned not to put heavy things on soft, unstable ground.

That had to be scary :bawl: Glad nothing bad really happened

[KSXJ]

that was real lucky, nice looking jeeps and trailer

[zachxj01]

that would of been a story ya i rolled my jeep this week right off my trailer ahhahaha is that a chopped xj in your garage ?

[2000xjclassic]

Nice save. Also, Just to clarify, you have a daily driver xj, a trail rig xj and then another cherokee for hauling your trail rig plus one that you are chopping in the garage... you are lucky lol :rof:

Chris

[lazarus]

cool, nothing like gettin ready for a wheeling trip like gittin it done in the driveway

[Vanquish]

You'd be the coolest person on here, the only one to roll his truck in his driveway!

:thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Yes I do. The wife loves XJ's also. The white one is my DD (89 Laredo stock), the black one is the wife's DD (94 country stock with trimmed fenders and 31's), and the project in the garage (87 chopped...soon to have a running engine and a full cage with custom bumpers), and the trail rig (95 sport with 3" and 35's and alot of body damage). Whenever the project is done, the wife is going to wheel my current trail rig.

As a side note I am looking for a tow rig and possibly trade my DD for it. The only catch is I need something with room for at least 4 occupants (wife and 2 kids). I am up for any offers.
The country will not pull the trail rig and the trailer...I don't want to burn the tranny out.

I always thought I might roll the trail rig, but never thought it would be on the trailer and in the front yard at the time.

[XJ Eric]

cool stuff man, glad you made it through without any real damage.

BTW what the hack you got on your hood?

[Jess]

toliet flanges.

While wheeling I pull the caps off to vent exhaust heat. I know its redneck, but it works and it was cheap.

[sgt_ic3m4n]

Sounds like a happy ending to me, could have been disastrous like you said!

[JeepDawg]

Nice rigs! Confederate flags make me nervous.

[aroncull]

Good save... i was going to ask the same about the hood things.. trippy

[Jess]

Yankee!!

[UNCC_99XJ]

Nice save!

I probably would have sh*t myself when the trailer sunk into the ground, had it been me.

[rehab]

I've been in the same situation before and it scared the shit out of me! It was dark, the jeep was blocking my view of the ground, and the side of the driveway crumbled.

nice flex coming off the trailer! lol

[need4speedjp]

i almost sh!t myself looking at the pics

[Oneofsix]

nice save! toilet flanges? could you put up a closer pic? I love seein different stuff like that and redneck it may be, but i think it's innovative.

[xDUMPTRUCKx]

Nice rigs! Confederate flags make me nervous.


i got in a pretty good fight with a dude over a confederate flag belt buckle.

it was the size of a large softball.

he made a comment about my tee shirt saying the f word on it.

i told him he looked like a hillbilly faggot.

he tried to pull some "we dont like your kind around here california boy" type shit with me.

its amazing how fast people learn to shut the f__k up after a headbutt.

and thats why we dont have slaves anymore.

the end.

I made no insult toward you. If you don't like my license plate, I'm sorry---but I don't care. While that was an enlightening story, it sounds to me that you are being the racist one. I was born and raised in the South, as were many of my ancestors which did serve for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. The Flag is a symbol of heritage...not a symbol of white supremacy. If you see me in the Jeep with the Flag on the front and I happen to be wearing a white pillowcase on my head, holding a burning cross, feel free to take offense. Until then I would appreciate you would not making assumptions and judge me.
Thank You.

Hey jess that was a good reply. can't wait to get together with you and go wheelin again. I'm getting ready to put my lift on soon I hope.

i find people that associate with that kind of a symbol insulting. i feel its a direct insult to everything i believe in as being an american and what i serve my country for.


I I was born and raised in the South, as were many of my ancestors which did serve for the Confederate Army during the Civil War. The Flag is a symbol of heritage...not a symbol of white supremacy.


please enlighten me then, that flag stands for the southern side of belief of what was the civil war am i not correct? the belief that its cool to enslave people.

im of russian decent, if i had a hammer and sickle on my jeep and someone made a comment about it like, "oh your a communist" and i said "oh no thats just my heritage" what would you think?

if you were german youd be comfortable runing around with a swazi like it was cool and not expect anyone to question you or your beliefs?

im an american, my heritage has a symbol and its a flag with 13 stripes and 50 stars.

theres a reason the south fell. if we still held to the mindset of the south back then i wouldnt be an american right now, id be happy in shudder canada or something.

i hate to take this so off topic but it really struck a nerve with me, especially since ill be deploying again soon and people like you are the ones i will be serving.

Lolz interwebz brings teh funny.

RAAAARRR!!!

First off, I want to make it clear that I have the uttermost respect for you sacraficing yourself for our country and appreciate your service.
Now, I will enlighten you. If you read section 9 of the Constitution of the Confederacy, you will see the views of the South on slavery.

As luck would have it, I am of some Germany decent, but I am also of Polish decent.......the irony, I know. Throughout time there has always been hate, and always will be. The swastica originated as an Egyption symbol of peace and harmony. The Gemans took this symbol and made it symbolize their beliefs, and everyone forgets how it started. This is much like what has happened to the Confederate Flag.
You made a comment of hillbilly faggot. Does this mean you hate Southerners or homosexuals? I have no problem with this statement becasue we live in a free country. You can think or say anything you want. All of the political correctness is crap. I think everyone should say what they mean instead of being two-faced.
I judge people on how they act and not what they look like. You put whatever you want on your Jeep and I'll put whatever I want on mine.

And since you brought up slavery, is it not a form of slavery having illegal Mexicans working for below average pay in the Mexico-bordering states? How bout the Chinese immigrants that built the Contintal Railroad through the west. Women in the workplace earning less than men in their same position? These people many not be in chains, but they can still be considered slaves.

As wise man once said, "he who is without sin may cast the first stone".

Thanks Robert.
I got a really good deal on the trailer and couldn't pass it up. The XJ struggled only pulling the trailer. I moved the trailer with the trail rig on it a short distance and it was working way too hard.

I need a truck!
