    Damn! Lose control or something? I don't see any obstacles or anything... :confused:

    I'm surprised his side mirrors are intact. I think every picture I've seen of a rollover, they lose the mirrors.

    yep just a 3/4. wasnt going that fast really. the roof rack took it damn good tho! saved the cab for the most part as well as the bumper and sliders saved the windows and hood.

    i just drove the damn thing 12.5 hours home :D


    thank you all for your concern. i really felt the love from all the TW guys after breaking the hand and the roll. You guys are awesome.



    Ben..i want more pics!!

    my assessment is 2wd one loose dirt over a hill and around a curve = loss of traction + ditch= upside-down

    Betcha the hoop on your bumper saved your ass too. Most of the time the truck will come down on the front of the hood and you lose your Rad.
