My girlfriend must have been getting my camera as that was happening so I guess not.

Did get some good before/after though, just no during. I was kinda caught up in seeing if it would right itself, glad to see that it did.

Dang that sucks big time. Well at least you've got a full-time trail rig and hopefully a new runner!

And you are okay!

Good to hear your ok. Great job on the recovery too. I was wondering hoe you got that out. It makes me think I really need a winch.

ya i surprised that i wasn't hurt because i wasn't wearing a seat belt
and im surprise we got that thing up on all 4, it was in a ditch, with almost no trees around, and no one could go around me
do you think its still possible to chop the back, even with how bent the pillar is?

One of the pics shows the washout better and generally you don't drive down into a trail washout because you don't know how stable it is. Looks like he tried to drive around and it didn't work out to well. ONe of those 20/20 hindsight type of deals, looks like the washout held up.

Glad you made it out okay and the vehicle runs.

This is really making me want to get one of these.

Glad you're ok, that kind of mild roll over can still hurt folks.

At least you didn't bust a bead, that would have made the drive home harder.

Drugs and recovery plan, do those really go together? Rehab maybe???
