Probably had the dealer install a tailgate damper, his purse fell on the floor, and he couldn't hit the brake. I've seen it a million times.

My credo
If you don't have time to do it right will you have time to do it over?
Lifted vehicles have higher centers of gravity and are more prone to rolling over. Physics always wins.

Lead follow or get out of my way
I'm sure going to fast and playing on your cell phone had nothing to do with it. Driving like a douche bag trumps lifted vehicles most times.

In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.

Obviously put the tailgate damper on the passenger side and not the driver's side.

Too bad he cheaped out on the beadlocks, it would look better on the rollback with all four tires up...

Stout ride. Nice to see it holding up from either side.

Been looking at wrecked ones lately for parts/build. They will take an ass whooping for sure.

My youngest son's Wrangler recently did the same trick in the mountains in Colorado.

Problem was it didn't have red tow hooks. This is why you don't take a vehicle without red tow hooks offroad.
