I was watching the discover channel tonight and Destroyed in seconds was on. their was a gray k5 that was going up a steep hill and lost traction and rolled backwards then flipped three times. did anyone else see it? im not sure how long ago this happened but everyone was fine. really nice truck to
 
yea he sucked bad! didnt even see what happened. sweet truck i love exo-cages but that wasnt the same one. ill see if i can find it
 
No I couldn't find it either. I wish they put their vidos in their site
 
No it did have a cage. If it didn't the three passengers might not have made it

I just watched that show too. It had a cage in the rear only. After they rollover the front of the cab was completely caved in. They are right that the cage - even though it was only the rear half of the truck - saved the 3 people's lives, especially the guy in the rear seat!
 
Yea the truck was completely ruined after that. Makes me want to do a full cage right now
 
I watched it as well. And I must say the guy driving was a idiot!! As it was sliding down the hill he had the wheels turn left. Why wouldnt you keep them straight?? Also if you are standing on the brakes and just sliding gas mash the hell out of the gas and dig some holes!!!!
 
They said he snapped the driveshaft but he still should of had front wheel drive. Like said above he should have stood on the gas atleast
 
I walked up with a 305 and highway gears , got to the top and had to be tugged the last six feet because with no front locker I couldn't pull myself up the ledge to the parking lot with the one tire off the ground .

Need to go back , but heard it was closed/closing . I want to go back with the front locker so damn badly !!
