Looks like there's a small pic of it on your homepage. Kinda curious as to how it happened too looking at the pic.

I'm sorry man, that's always been one of my biggest fears. At least you know just how far you can push it now Really though, in hindsight, it's just steel, plastic, and glass. Be thankful you didn't get hurt.

Lacking a winch it might take some creative work with a couple tow straps, d-rings, come-alongs, hi-lifts, and at least one other truck, but get up there and flip that thing back over! I am tempted to come down and flip it back just to take it for salvage rights. ;D I could use the engine and sell the rest, haha.

Seriously though, get it flipped back over and get it out of there before you either get fined for leaving it/making the police remove it, or people completely trash it. You could make some decent money parting it out if you had to. I bet I could get that truck back over with a couple tow straps, a couple d-rings, a come-along, a couple tree straps, and one more truck.

If you pull it uphill, you could remove the two tires on that side, sure your brakes would get f-ed up, but it would be easier to turn it back over that way.
