Finished work one day had a steep ridge to get up to get out to the track got just bout to the top wheels still going ford & I was sliding backwards I slided over the edge of the ridge & when it started rolling it went over 3.5 times it rolled slowly at one point I thought shit my arm out the window so pulled my arm back in as that side of the ute hit the ground, befor it started to roll I went to bail but I thought I cant Im on the bottom side so had to just go with it
Bugger that for a joke
Shit!!
As soon as your are goin backwards slam reverse and you should be able to steer,still sliding punch the throttle until goin in the right direction and let off again.
It is scary heading off downhill backward all of a sudden but if you can keep your cool reverse and even throttle is your best bet.
been there a few times.
Know exactly what you mean with the slow mo.
years ago when I rolled my Austin a30 two door as it rolled(no seat belts but indicator arms:cool:) I had the thought not to put my hand on the window and managed to get the b pillar and save my arm and head.

I had no time to try get it reverse as it didn't stay on the ridge for very long lol when you slam reverse do try keep you foot of the clutch. Some 1 said when you start sliding backwards turn it off put it in reverse with out touching any thing then restart & you be in revers but haven't had a happen in a ute again yet had it with the four wheeler a few times but they easy to get back under control
Reminds me of a story of a large diesel who started sliding back down a slope, stalled it and when it restarted he gunned it......without realizing it had bump started and now the engine was running in reverse! and he promptly went flying off the bank at full throttle!

Cruising towards Kunanurra at 100 km,BANG,the a resend of the cruiser drops,the wife looks at me:wtfsmilie:something broke.coilwrite airbag blown.had to let the other side down so now the caravan hitch is almost dragging and the front of the truck is ready for a moon shot.
Moved all the gear from the truck and the boot of the van into the van over and behind the tandem,leveled things out a bit.
New bags have to come from Darwin and it's a pubic holiday there Monday.Still,can drive round without the van so sightseeing
You were shooting near the tunnel last weekend @Gibo . They dug it down a number of years ago but the clearances still aren't there.
Apparently tunnels curve at the top :roll:

That's not a bad fence you have there mate.
Thanks Ryan. I'll bet a jug it gets smashed this year. But you will have to come down here to drink it.:D
There like a bear mate. Could help repair the fence too.
No photos unfortunately but was at the tyre shop having some new feet fitted and a dude picked up his terrano after a new set of tyres and alignment, about 10 minutes later I see him walking back to the shop. "So my wheel just fell off...." I overhear him say. Needless to say I double checked all my wheel nuts
Couple from today, unfortunately no photo of my cruiser getting dropped off by the tow truck :oh noes: @chric1

Fuck me. No wonder you won't be there tomorrow
Should have bought a Landrover! At least you'd be better mentally prepared:D
Or trade it in on a Landrover? There's a nice tank on tard me c/w long range gun!
Yep at Least you learnt with a cheap cv instead of a front diff !
Why didn't you pull the cv and front drive shaft and drive home ?
