Rolled it over today and nearly died doing it. Need your help

Glad you are ok. The video makes that spot look pretty steep and we all know stills/ video never look all that bad compared to a live view. Glad you are ok!
 
if you google that trail, there have been multiple fatalities at that very spot over the years mostly due to the vehicles continuing to the bottom of the canyon, you must have a Guardian Angel looking out for you. that trail is a double black diamond trail for a dirtbike. if you fix your Jeep, and I hope you do, its name should be "Guardian" because Jeep names happen.

Looking on FB the person who helped with the recovery said local rangers call it Death Valley, there’s been 5 fatalities recently in that exact spot.

I run into similarly sloped forest roads the difference is there are lots of things to stop your descent like bushes, trees, and boulders. that Jeep had nothing to stop it except the hand of God.

WOW! Glad to see you are still with us. Scary stuff. After seeing the video, I can only imagine what went thru your head looking at the trail.
 
more pics... :) A bonus one from Jawbone canyon, caught a nice rainbow.

I was going to name it, yes. I was thinking savior but Guardian sounds better (or Survivor).

This is actually one of the better posts here. I think all of us have probably thought about what it would be like to be in Tiger's shoes. A portion of the offroad thrill is the danger and difficulty. If it was easy I doubt we would do this with fanatical vehemence. Our rigs are repairable and disposable. Flesh and bones not as much. All in all, Tiger, this day will be more cherished for what didn't happen rather than what did happen. What did happen will be an interesting tale. Give it time, rolling six times can be embellished to twelve with some creative editing. Might I recommend some poetic license: Your secret is safe here.

Six is what I counted should be scary enough :) LOL, but 30 years from now, I might get more creative...

Glad your okay @Tigerman. I was about to start naming people who can help you but it was under control already 👌
Must have been a scary situation.
I’ve been to Rowher flats I entenred from bouquet canyon road I think I might have seen this hill and decided to pass because I was by myself. Some spots do look tricky especially after the rain.

Let’s remember to not go wheeling alone.
