I don't think the folks are being "un-nice"...I'll accept this as a sharing of "safety-related information", and a chance to communicate personal experiences. It is - in a large part - what we do here.

Do any of you REALLY think that I would risk one of the few un-cut carriers (and my flabby old skin) without at least a little bit of forethought and contemplation? I didn't just fall off the melon truck yesterday, ya know.

Those cars had been run over by the local jeep club all day, from the front, they looked like this.... ____v__v____ . two grooves formed by the collapsed roofs that would guide and hold the carrier on the centre line. The cars were similar enough, and both still had engines, so there was little chance of a non-symmetrical collapse. I did three run-ups before the final roll-over.

Besides - If I had wrecked Bucky(the wonder carrier)...I got spares...
