That looked like a helluva trail he came off of.
I'll dedicate this beer to him and his rig. Glad one of them came out okay.

Holly cow! Sad day for the truck but boy was that guy lucky to have that tree there. Looked like it would have been a looooong way down if not. Definetly makes you stop and think.

Wow, he's very lucky.
Glad he is OK and you got the rig recovered.

It's also good there was more than one rig that had a winch on it.
That was a two winch job for sure.

I feel every rig that goes off road should have one for safety.

I'm curious: was the driver aware that he might tip and that there is a cliff?

Rolled once, the part he rolled on is part of the sierra trek trail, its about a 5000ft drop, if there was no trek, there was no way of living.....

No, we towed it back to camp and wrenched on it in the morning so we could drive it to the road and call AAA....

Was he injured?

Nice job on the recovery. I hope the truck will see the trails again.

I still don't quite understand how it happened. I know pictures can be deceiving, but it doesn't seem like that "tippy" of an obstacle. But again, I know pictures never tell the severity of trails.
