Well one of my neighbors has a very clean 92 Tracker softop that I have wanted since he got it in 1999 the other day i drove buy his house and this is what i saw.

He said He was driving down the road and veared into oncoming traffic, Then over-corrected then overcorrected again Then just lost it.  The Police report said the eyewitnesses said the truck flipped over at least 4 times before coming to rest sitting on its side.  The miraculous thing is that the driver climbed out and walked away with nothing more than scratches on his left arm.

I stopped and asked him if he wanted to sell it and he gave it to me.  The great thing for me is that the engine was replaced with a Jasper rebuilt engine less than 1000 miles ago.

Stand down, MSG Arthur L. Lilley, your mission is now complete, may you rest in eternal peace.

I did 5 end over ends in a dodge omni and walked away 0 injuries. After we put the tires back on the bead and pumped em up the next day, drove the wreck 15 miles home  ;D

of course I was much younger and resilient then :)

It is amazing the car took so little damage for that many flips.

Makes me feel alot better about mine.


Im glad no one was hurt, but it does suck seeing a kick die  :-[

hate to see it die, but I can't belive the windshield is fine.. amazing! plus it looks like the passenger door and back door are untouched. That thing held itself up really well. I am amazed... also glad to hear he's okay. One of my friends bend his frame on his calmini 3 inch lifted 4 door kick and I wished he would have let me know before he sold it to the junk yard so I could have gotten the rear 3rd, front axle, struts, shocks, coils, and whatever else might have looked handy. Glad it's in your hands instead of a junkyard's. sounds like it has many many useable things on it and I'm glad your neighbor it okay

2000 Grand Vitara.. boondox coil spacer lift w/ pro comp 2 inch lift shocks and ome struts. 225/75 R16 Kumho Mt's, powdercoated wheels, rear brake line relocation and stuff to acomodate. custom exhaust and intake along with some 1 off accesories.
