feel free to hurl insults my way.

Just a few samples to get you started....
- your tire pressure was too low
- you must be a new
- why did you kill a square body
- you suck
- must not be from around here
- stick to the malls

and more. See what you can come up with lol ;)

 
Well, you are human. Prone to the same level of stupidity as anybody else. Who hasn't spun some donuts out in the dirt or in a snowy parking lot? Could have happened to anybody.

To bastardize a quote: To err is human, to rebuild is divine.
 
Roll cage = good planning. You have a great story for the grandkids!

Edit: now you can do a chapter on doing a full 'vert conversion!
 
Great video! I can see the internal pain at about 6 min, the shock of the event weighing hard. Glad everybody was ok.

So, what safety related upgrades / changes do you have planned?
 
I like the heater mod to keep you warm. :thumb:

You should have done that with your buddy in the seat next to you and have him wearing a tank top and the sunglasses.
 
How about
Must have more money than talent

Glad your all ok
I don't know anyone that really wheels that hasn't had something happen one time or another
I've been wheeling for over 30 yrs on all types of rigs and the only time I've been on my side was rubicon trail, but the sad part was that it was in the campground doing all of 3mph, now tell me that's not embarrassing

Well there was the time I crashed a Ferrari but that was on a street ,at least I was on a street when the tire blew , turns out trees don't move
That's where I got a lot of more money than talent comments

I once rolled a truck on a flat dirt road. Was driving around looking at deer. Turned my head and when I looked back I was going off the edge of a hill that was way too steep. When it stopped I was standing in the passenger window looking out the driver window with a tree where the windshield used to be.

Least you had enough sense to wear seat belts and had a cage. Only jab I'm gonna take is why'd you let the ford pull it back over when that sweet square truck was sitting right there?
 
image.jpeg Maybe we should start a roll over thread my wife and daughter went out to deliver Girl Scout cookies, and 1 hr later I get a phone call that she rolled her Tahoe, just got back from the hospital,there sore but ok , the Tahoe on the other hand , I'm not sure itll buff out. Hijack off.
 
I don't see a big deal... Truck rolls doing doughnut, cage works as intended, everyone walks away unhurt.....Not a 1/2 mile of barrel rolls down a hill ending in a fire ball with body parts everywhere. Why beat yourself ( Or anyone else ( Maybe the wife ) ) up over it? Just look at it as a new change of direction of the never ending build.

I kinda laugh when I hear a Californian talk about cold...

Your truck came through the rollover quite well, surely your youtube millions should be able to get it rebuilt. :D

Ha ha. I feel you on the cold but I also doubt many people realize how cold the desert gets in the winter.
 
I smashed my side windows out at Walker Valley in WA state many years ago, in a bad snowstorm. We were getting between two and three inches per hour, temps in the teens and conditions so bad i was ecstatic to get out of there...but I still had a two and a half hour drive home, all freeway. I feel your pain...
