Default Helped out a Jeep owner

Got a call from a neighbor/family friend that had gone out and rolled their Jeep Cherokee. Had to drag it around, then flip it back onto it's wheels, then get it turned back up the road. Finally, towed it about 5 miles back out to the pavement.

I suppose it is a long story, but how did they end up rolled on a flat dirt road?

Nice work!

Nice work!
Going too fast, slight right turn, very slick road surface. Got sideways and caught the bank with the front end. Flipped it over and turned it around backwards. Alcohol "may" have been involved ; young and dumb didn't hurt either.

The Alpha easily turned it back over onto it's wheels, even pulling it uphill; just put it in low range, locked the rear diff, and backed up. Gotta love those Hummer tow hooks, too; solid and easy to use!

Thanks. Can't wait to wear out the "quasi-off road" tires that were on it when purchased so I can put something more befitting on it! Although I have to admit that these Michelin's have actually done me pretty well since I bought the truck. They actually "say" AT on them, but....
