Yeah the pics make it seem tame, but I'm sure the actual rollover was terrrifying. Thats one of the things I hope I never have to endure without a full roll cage...the only thing worse would be getting my ankle broken by the weight of my truck

I got my hat after they got me out from under the truck, but before I went to the hospital. Dunno if you can tell from the pic, but my right foot is turned a little awkwardly. That and I found out today from my personal doctor that the steeringwheel tore my meniscus in my right knee. Fun stuff....

yeah i tore my meniscus 1 time racing motocross, 1 time during football, and 1 time in the middle of my state wrestling match i lost but 6th in the state not bad. it heals quick but it gets easier to tear every time. and you don t notice it tell your knee locks out and you cant move it.

glad to hear your ok now. how bout the plans for ST3

the beach is rough on lifted trucks. back in high school, 3 friendly yota's fell victim to whiskey run(local beach). shoot, we even had my buddy's 97 mustang out there.
drifting that thing was fun

anyway, I'm glad you didn't get hurt to bad.

so you gonna fix her or what?

No. I wouldn't be welding the wood. . . The welding is for attaching the shoulder belts to the rollbar and possibly a tube across behind the seats to make a 4pt instead of a standard 3pt.

I found the seats abandoned on the beach at Pismo. They are out of some kind of buggy.

WOW!!! That doesn't look fun! Like you said, the pics look pretty tame compared to the actual roll! I don't ever want to do that!

Hope everyone is healing up quickly and thoroughly!!

That video is against the rules for language and was removed.
