So I was just rolling

Rolled my truck out in the desert last weekend. Cab is pretty banged up, but the engine is in pretty good order(flipped it back over and drove it home). Any way to save this truck? Was thinking of doing a cab swap but I don't have the capability at my place for that or just part it out on TW? Frame also seems fine.

 

cut the roof off, convertible taco

 

We need more details

 

Yeah but the way this guy rolls (lol) he may want the head protection the roof offers (offered in this case.)

 

Nice try, Jeremy Clarkson.

 

Damn dude glad your ok.
If it’s mechanically sound cut the top half of the cab out and make something out of sheet metal to attach to a roll cage and be a dedicated trail truck now. That’s what I’d do if not feasible cab swap at a buddy’s house.
Roll cage

Safety cage is damaged. Not roadworthy in any state.

 

Trust your ok that's most important

Sorry to hear about your truck

You could find another truck needing a drive train or part out

Lots of work both ways

All the best to you going forward

 

Damn that sucks man sorry to see. Glad you're ok though

As someone else mentioned I doubt you'll be able to make that street legal again...unless you do a cab swap. But you could definitely keep it around as a trail rig, if that's your thing. If not...I would start looking for another and swap parts over/sell the rest.

 

Chop it, cage it, repanel it or go gladiator style

 

No pics, phone was trashed. Slid off a sandy embankment at speed out in anza borrego.

 

Holy shit man, what happened? I think cab swap is the way to save it, or part out and start the process over again on another taco

 

That almost happened to me my first time out at Pismo. I was just crawling along though along the top of a steep dune, suddenly my truck started just sliding sideways down the side of it. Got luckily it didn't roll and had to get winched back up top. Deep soft sand on steep hills is no joke

Damn you survived superstition just to have Anza take you out

 

As owner operator of a auto detailing company I can say with abolute certainty that will definitely not buff out....completely.


Glad you're alright !

 

I'm in one piece. My dumbass wasn't wearing a seatbelt and body slammed the passenger door,shoulder blade still hurts. Bent the shifter in the process. Figures, I was thinking this really needs a roll cage when I took it out this weekend.

 

Off camber sand is the thing that scares me the most for that exact reason.

 

That’s crazy well I wish you a speedy recovery.
