Deeply saddened and regret to inform that I rolled my 2006 yesterday...
A sow was on the other end of a bend, on an unpaved road by the house and unfortunately my quick actions to miss the pig put me into an uncontrollable fishtail.
I swerved from one side to the other several times before the rear tires caught the edge of one ditch and sent me sideways down the road, pointed at the other ditch.
I hit the 3 foot embankment at the other ditch nose first, and with enough momentum to pick the rear off the ground at a 45 a second or two before flipping sideways a complete rotation before settling back on all fours.
The truck had stalled, so I cut the key Off and crawled out the drivers window.
After picking up all my crap that had scattered over the road I decided to see if it would crank. Low and behold...I turned the key and it fired up like nothing had happened. A turn of the dial to 4L, reverse, and I was backing out the ditch with minimal rubbage.
Beside hanging out the window like Ace Ventura, I was able to limp it the mile home without issue.
So, now I'm waiting on the insurance company to do a desk appraisal from the photos ive submitted to the adjuster.
Just sad and doubtful of finding a replacement...

Glad your ok man, sore is totally normal. Bummer the truck is done looked clean. Can't believe no airbags deployed! Assuming the '06 has curtain airbags, but you would think in a rollover something would...

Yea, i was surprised myself about the airbags and everyone else around here...
I had completely forgot about the side airbags.

Got any extra shots of your bed rack especially bed mounting points. Trying to figure out if I have to get the tool box kit or if I can rig it myself??

I took her to an auto body shop.

That Cadillac was driving fast and excessive, rear ended that Civic you see on its side (was on its back but we flipped it on its side cause someone was pinned). Rear ended so hard the Civic hit the jersey barrier, and flipped... while flipping it landed on the back and hit me from behind. Oh and the at fault driver didn’t have insurance.

There were no serious or life threatening injuries that I know of.

I have USAA, comp & collision, and uninsured motorist protection.

The auto body shop is willing to try and total it but they aren’t sure if it’ll reach that high. Any advice is welcomed!
This is my first accident, so it was a good one... I’m just thankful I wasn’t cruising on my bike!!!

Pics for your time

Continuing my auxiliary panel overhaul. Bought a Blue Sea safety hub to use as a distro off the battery to reduce clutter. Dremeled a plastic NoCo 27f battery box into a “new” battery tray to mount the blue sea safety hub. Tomorrow I need to then swap some connectors out from the firewall and then plug n play everything. As well as run leads from the battery to smart hub then smart hub to my Bussmann panel.

The safety hub has 4 ATO type fuses plus 3 MIDI type fuses so has room for expansion.

I need to make or buy a new battery hold down. The NoCo tray sits higher than stock and my already extended length aftermarket J-bolt wouldn’t reach so I had to hack my polycarbonate hold down

I have 2 questions. First why the second battery ? Lights, amps ?? Also, anybody have an idea what temp differentials should run ? Thanks in advance
Click to expand...

yes to all above..as an example xd9000 winch pulls 460 Amps at full load, nice to have extra storage....also set up with a smart relay the system will drop 1 battery out when there is a draw on the system with nothing being generated/replaced...ie you will never have 2 dead batteries.

Is that Polycarbonate strong enough to hold the battery?
(after the grind down).
