Anyone have video of the Blue CJ5 on 40s rollover at Sierra Trek on Thursday morning? (that's actually me)... wanted to get a closer look at how close that was.. or any good pics...

kickin' myself for not having my seatbelt on.... thought it was buckled on just the lap band... wake up call on the double check the seatbelt everytime now..

Thanks! and to top it off.. my GoPro camera wasn't on for the rollover... BUMMER...

+1 to got really lucky.... everyone please double check your seatbelts... just a friendly reminder..

supersmurf · 08-12-2012, 01:56 PM

Anyone with pics or video of it?

oldtimingman · 08-14-2012, 08:45 PM

Where was that?

kst8fan · 08-14-2012, 08:49 PM

I am assuming Sierra Trek........

oldtimingman · 08-14-2012, 08:55 PM

No kidding, what I meant was: where on the trail did it happen?

It was at .5

RCKRATZ · 08-14-2012, 10:25 PM

40k hill!

supersmurf · 08-14-2012, 10:33 PM

.5 @ Sierra trek

scottz · 08-14-2012, 11:31 PM

I'm starting to like that spot.

scottz · 08-14-2012, 11:32 PM

not the first upside down jeep I've seen there either

lightfoot · 08-15-2012, 03:32 AM

.5 as in 0.5 per ham radio traffic Thursday morning. We were trying to figure out where that was and thought it might have been before wh1 or possibly the wh1 bypass?

chainrnng · 08-15-2012, 06:43 AM

V rock! great spot on the trail but I'm sure sometime soon it will be deemed in need of change so a honda ridge line can make it up

kdub0013 · 08-15-2012, 07:03 AM

Thought it was vrock before wh1 for sure, almost flopped there last time.

TurboJeep275 · 08-15-2012, 11:36 AM

Is this at the start of the mud hole re-route?

Exactly. Make the sharp left and its ~100 ft up.

We started calling it 40k because WH.5 was too confusing. Everyone misses the point part.

Snow4Phil · 08-15-2012, 03:30 PM

Is that just past "the pools" on the trail map, right after you turn just above the river?

RCKRATZ · 08-15-2012, 04:04 PM

No, it is a ways past the pools. Mile marker 6.5

pepe · 08-15-2012, 04:41 PM

Yep that's definitely 40k hill!

jethrodeg · 08-15-2012, 06:26 PM

Confirmed.... 40k Hill. The first uphill at the mud hole reroute (mile 6.5).

rockyota83 · 08-15-2012, 06:52 PM

Whats the story behind the 40k part? why 40k? did someone roll their 40k$ rig on it?

I guy we will refer to as “RobD” rolled his TJ right there and within a week had sold it and bought a buggy as a result of that hill.

rockyota83 · 08-15-2012, 07:51 PM

thanks for the info

im always curious as to the stories behind the names of obstacles, and i always get asked when i tell someone the name, nice to be ale to tell them.

oldtimingman · 08-15-2012, 09:45 PM

That was a real issue spot for a lot of folks. We sat and waited almost 2 hours while folks fooled around on that !
