ORD Cousin Willard on the roof

[miniwally]

As many have heard my dad put Cousin Willard on the roof during Blazer Bash. I help to get him on his lid with my superior spotting .

These are the Pics after the roll and during the recovery.











The little blond haired guy is Jackson my nefew. he was with his Papa when it all went down. Being that Jax has probably wheeled more in his six years than most of us ever have he asked what was happening and Papa told him they were rolling over so he says "Keep your hands in". Nobody hurt.

No real damage to the truck except the hood got caved in bad and needed a little on trail Maco hammerless dent removal. New air cleaner and stud the next day in town and all was well.

Here's the rest of the shots





That's all folks

Glad that the little guy and the old man were ok and that Willard wasn't too badly damaged.

I liked the "I didn't do anything. It just fell off a rock!" explanation I heard the next day .
Poor Willard sure underwent some premature aging at the Bash

Great pics


I guess thats one way to see the under carriage

 

[chevy wrangler]

nice i like that crewcab

We tried to get Jackson to tell Stephen that he was driving when this happened. He was very serious about not doing that.

Ya. Willard took a bit of abuse in those three days. I think we all learned a bit about the abilities of the vehicle.


It's wierd that Willard doesn't behave like a buggy

I'm glad he didn't roll any worse than I did. At least he still had a windshield

Man, that the best right there!

You can't really see the damage to the hood that Toby was describing to me. James did drive it home didn't he? Or was it trailered?

 

[miniwally]

James drove it home. We used the air cleaner off the buggy to get it to the shop.

I don't know that they got pictures of the hood prior to my dent removal. The air cleaner stud ended up about three inches shorter than in stock form. There were also a few inches of it poking out of the hood.

Wow those marker lights on the cab are toughThey look untouched except maybe the one above the driver. Great pics..cool truck

 

[mudboggink5]

not to much damage, nice pics

 

[cbbr]

Nice pics. As long as no one gets hurt, all is well.

I think James ended up with a ding on his head when he got the seatbelt to release him and gravity took over.

Yeah at least we got some goods pics of the underside a build thread on Willard with pics would be nice

 

[chevy wrangler]

They wound up putting a lot of that truck together 72hrs before rolling out for UA'07. I don't think they had much time for pictures.

 

[Clod_King]

A build thread would be nice.

Even if most of the pictures were taken after the truck was fully built and running...

Just for some ideas from the pros.


I'm glad Willard is still in decent shape still. I geuss the cage helped out there.
