Off-roading term escapes me.

Hello,

What is that term for getting stuck by going over too steep of a bump and bottoming out on the frame between the axles? (Seems like it was "high-something".) Usually the missing words pop up later. Not this time.

centered is the something

Yep. High center, centered.

High centered

That's it! Thanks, guys.

And now we wait for the rest of the story.
Surely there is a story of JMC getting hung up on something, right?

I've had my share of off-road stunts/broken bones over the years (Jeeps, dirt bikes, and now, tractors) but never high-centered badly enough to need extraction. We had a phantom vandal trashing yards and other places not meant to be driven on. I saw a guy in a Toyota mini-truck high-centered on private stone mill property and it was probably the vandal. Couldn't think of that word at the time.

I think it sounds more like "a bi*ch"

High centered, or turtled. Although turtled can sometimes be upside down, too.
