well i we've been gettin a bunch of snow lately, had about 7inches this day, and i got off work at 7am that mornin. i went home and waited fro the bank to open to put my pay check in, and i went to the bank. on the way home i was takin a shortcut through a subdivision and this old man was in the middle of the road so i tried to scoot over for him since he wadn. my back tire slid off the bank and fell into a drain and over i went! the man never even stopped. i wasn't hurt at all, i was only goin about 15MPH. tow truck winched me back over, only damage was a smashed in fender. didn't even break my mirror off. the sliders saved a lot i believe. let it sit for a minute, fired it up and been drivin it since. mechically fine, but its hard to keep it on the road now. i was in 4WD when it happened, and now in 4WD i get a little dshaft vibrations. and it steers horribly. dunno if it knocked it out of line or what

the old man may have not even known i did wreck, he looked to be 70ish. pray he doesn't cause this to happen to anyone else as it could have been a lot worse
 
i had the same symptoms when i flopped my jeep! never hurts to check your alignment
 
nope the IFS just wudn't handle it. removed my swaybar and thought that woudl help, but it didnt :) heck i was goin about 15ish. that incline a little steeper than it looks. i slid down that tiny incline when i walked back down to it lo. seems the vibrations i was gettin ahs kinda worked there selves out. now its all back to normal?
