Learned I Can Do 180's At 50 mph on 37's and Not Flip

[jesse3638]

Last night while running to Target to pick up some forgotten items I was in an accident. While entering the left turn lane a tow truck decided he also wanted to enter it as well. His driver side front tire contacted my passenger rear and the impact spun me around so I was facing opposing traffic. Fortunately we were both ok and the only damage seemed to be my flat tire (should be replaced by Discount tire certificate today). I thought for sure I'd have at least ended up on my side being on 4" of lift and 37's. Not sure if running Full Traction's CRC link instead of a rear track bar helped but I'm glad that I'm ok and there is no major damage.

Well now you have to see what your threshold is.
I bet you can do 55mph.

seriously though , glad no one was hurt.

 

[jesse3638]

Yeah it was pretty scary. I was waiting for it to flip but stayed on all 4 and just stalled.

Glad to hear all is well! Getting PIT maneuvered and ending up relatively unscathed is a pretty BA achievement on the bright side.

Haha yeah I always heard not to brake. Just lifted and steered into the spin. The only thing which would have been better is if I had thrown in into reverse and snapped the front end back around.

Right on man, glad you and the Jeep are safe.
