Lead a group on what we called our "CH" trip, that is Cleghorn Trail to Heartbreak Ridge which takes you through many of the great trail on the high back side of the San Bernardino Mountains in Southern California.
Jason, one of the guys who frequently comes along started having some balance issues on the first trail the Cleghorn:
This was a rather soft flop and after some fancy pulling work by Jeff he was on the trail again with only some minor damage to his front fender, hood and roof rack.
Later that same day when he came to Dishpan Springs trail he went too high on the trail and went all the way over.
Being wedged in the "V" notch of the trail required a bit more time and effort but we finally spun his XJ perpendicular to the trail where we could then turn it back over. We first had to add 4 quarts of oil and 1 gallon of ATF, then modify the new roof line so he could get back in.
On his own power he then finished the trail and drove out to where he could be flatbeded home.
One Tough XJ!
Thanks,
Fred
