  • All those JKs are starting to look the same...
From the JK Facebook page... scroll to the bottom to see the video.  I'm thinking he was either driving drunk or fell asleep at the wheel.

From all the off-road rollover videos etc., I am sure those aftermarket bars to strengthen the front part of the sport cage are a good idea, even if there are better ways to make a strong roll cage.  Granted, from the front-end damage, I'm thinking he hit something along the way or it was a rollover onto the front clip/windshield.
