I was just thinking that your roll bar may be thinwall tube. In any event it did the job. A bent Jeep is better than an injured person.

Don't know the thickness but the tube seems un-damaged. Just the jeep. But yes, it worked. Most of the stuff I have worried about going over or more likely down wouldn't have mattered what roll bar I had. Shortly after this I was on Imogene Pass in a cold heavy rain storm with no windshield (it won't go up yet) and on one off camber slick rock I unbuckled while thinking about jumping out if things went bad. Thankfully they didn't. Was my birthday and would not have been good. I will still look into a better roll bar.

Steve, if you flop it to the other side it will straighten back up.  Problem solved. As for the bent wheels, I just run them as long as they hold 12 psi and don’t wobble my teeth out.  Come to think of it, I have a loose tooth.  Maybe it’s time for a new wheel.  🧐

Thanks for the thought. Already tried that and it flopped on the same side later that day. Maybe it is a really good roll bar.
