Glad to hear that you are out of the Hospital...hope the legal issues are not a big deal.
the vid's that alex and superbleeder did are frigging awesome.
I take it though that your attempts to get noticed by Top Gear are failing so you are gonna head over to Customtacos.com and check the classified for a truck with a lower COG?
maybe something like this little Gem:

Yeah, holy crap - the damage didn't look too bad with her standing next to it.
Glad you're back home and doing better!
Sorry to hear about the wreck - hope everybody else involved is doing okay.
Look forward to seeing the vid!

ST how you feeling?

I'm pretty beat up. My knee was pinned between the steering wheel and the roof (there's only a good 4.5" gap between them) with my head out of the beer window, when it was upside down. When they lifted the truck off my friend Will, who's arm and leg was caught under the tube of the bed, they snapped my ankle because it was out the drive side window and they were rolling it towards it, so it snapped like a pencil. So they had to lift it again from the other side when I started cursing at the top of my lungs to stop because they were breaking me in half it felt like. So I finally was able to get out. I ended up being the most injured, my cousin having been catapulted a good 20 feet away from sitting on the bed, and my buddy will being caught under the bed. My cousin just had a sprained back, and will had a sprained ankle. I just got some whiplash, tore just about everything in my knee from being crushed in between the roof and the steering wheel, and my ankle being broke from having the truck pivoted on it...
I'll always remember the poor ST2 like this just moments before it happened:
And I'm still waiting for all my friends to upload the videos and pictures to me.

You name it, I've probably broken it more than once.
I actually didn't realize I was so messed up at first. When I crawled out from under the truck to a wall of beautiful women who had rushed over, all I could think about was "Am I in heaven, and are these my 42 virgins?", then I saw my friend and cousin and ran over to them. Then I realized my hat was still in the truck, so I had to go back in for it (not kidding, they have it on camera).
Someone called the ambulances, and I refused to get checked out, but I road in my cousin's ambulance (we were worried that he broke his back) to the hospital. When I was raising holy hell that I wanted to go into my cousin's room, the doctor was like "You were in the rollover?" and I told him I was the driver. He calmly pointed down and told my ankle was broken (was twisted a weird way), and he made me get checked out. Thats when they figured out the extent of my injuries...
None of us were wearing seatbelts. My cousin and my friend were sitting on the flatbed when it happened, so there wasn't even any seatbelts to be worn.

A couple more feet of exo cage and you the cab would have been fine.
Good time for folks to realize, even a minimal rollover on the soft sand can screw up your truck and even worse, you.
Be careful out there...especially if you ride with Clint.
Hope you get better soon buddy. I got that stuff you wanted. Send me an email and I'll send it to you cause your old email address I got doesn't work.
