I'd see if I could grab those spider trax, and the Snorkel if I were you, but other than that I'd say good buy and start looking for a good deal on another.

Good to hear you made it out ok. That's a memory that will keep your eyes open on the road. For sure.

Im having second thoughts on the spacers now.

Did you say that the wheel broke while driving which caused you to roll? or did the wheel break after the roll?

The spidertrax held...The rim broke during the roll.

Lessons learned for that night:
1. don't get to comfortable in the seat
2. always wear shoes
3. always strap down tools and things
:thumbsup:


I didn't have the tools/jack need to salvage some of the things I wanted...ie snorkel, windshield mounts, side rails or skids. I still have 2 spacers at the house. If I could salvage the 3 still on the jeep. Anyone close to Hagerstown ,MD that's in need of some parts? Insurance adjuster will be there sometime tomorrow.

All you need is a little rubbing compound and $30,000 - it'll be good as new!

How come! I am freaking out right now!!!

I hate wearing shoes and especially when driving! I feel also like my feet have way better grip on the pedals than the soles of my shoes. I also get a better feel for the clutch without shoes!!!

You can still drive barefoot....just don't fall asleep barefoot while driving.:rollingeyes: Ya'll don't wanna see my feet scratches.:what?:
