My Friend Flopped His Truck, PICS
 

this is my friends 81 truck, he was trying to get over that log, he was able to get one front tire over it but kept getting high centered on it, he then did a 4low 2nd gear foot to the floor attempt and the tire didn't go over it, but instead ran along the side of the log and the left front fell into a hole resulting in the flop, it was night when it happened :rockin: the rock in the door was the only thing keeping him from going all the way over, its hard to tell on the pics, but there is a 10 ft drop to the left of the truck

he was getting over it with the right tire, and getting stuck on the diff, the last attempt to get over it, the right tire did not go over it and the truck followed the log, he is welded in the rear and open in the front with 5.29's

thats.........an intresting position to be in!

Ahhhh... I see now....

Did he get out ok?

Thats not flopped

ya, a 8000 warn got him on his tires and he backed up till he was on solid ground, got lined up again and was winched over the log, i forgot to mention that his tie rod is frowning now :hillbill:

whats your definition of flopped

this :pat: My windshield spit out on that one

ouch! did he get the truck out fine?
