Rest in Peace - My 07 Tacoma roll-over story

Holy crikey! Thats insane! Glad you made it out relatively unscathed. Are you gonna buy your truck back to put the parts on your new one? Shame to see a Supercharger go to the junk yard.

 

Glad to hear you are okay!!

 

Glad you made it through your accident. Been there... Done that. Below is a photo of my 1980 something Ford Ranger after a rollover accident back in 1994. I was 18, it was a 4x4, I was invincible, I lived in farm country, muddin' was a thing, fields everywhere.... That pretty much sums it up. Truck went end over end and rolled twice, landing on the drivers side. I was luckier than you. I climbed out... Kicked the back window out (it was still good and seemed to be mocking me) and walked about a 1/4 mile home. All I got was a scratch on my arm when I climbed out. God sits closest to fools I suppose.

Anyway... My point is I am now 40 and just bought my first truck since owning that one. I joined the Army late '94... Didn't have a car.... Soooo...yeah. Served 10 years Army, served as an MP in Iraq in '03, have owned several motorcycles, became a cop, have been in pursuits, all kinds of stuff... I'm not afraid of much. To this day I get a little tremor and the hair on my neck stands up on hard turns in a truck. Especially if I am in the passenger seat. PTSD isn't just for combat vets. Your going to likely find that you are a little more timid behind the wheel... For a long, long time. The old saying, "get back on the horse" is true enough. You're going to have to fight that little demon in the back of your head. Don't feel bad about it. Your not "some little bitch" or "weak". It's human nature to fear that which might kill us, and you just found something new for your mind to identify as something that will kill you.

Rest up, heal up, and God bless.

 

Any updates OP? Op hasn't logged in since September.... still waiting for pics of the cliff you went off of. Lol

 

To this day I can't get near a helo. Too many "problems". Glad you are ok.
