F-150 is dead

Buddy wanted to see what the new suspension drove like. Missed a curve hit a gravel pile, jumped it between 50-75 feet, landed nose first went end over end landed on roof. only thing salvageable is the head unit, suspension and rear end. I can't believe I walked away with only seat belt bruising, stone cold sober. Nurse couldn't believe it either.



I was in the front passenger seat

Good to hear everything's ok besides the truck. This is not what I expected when I read "f150 is dead" in the thread title.

Yeah I hadn't got that far unfortunately (rollbars), truck was still a work in progress. Luckily his auto insurance covers him on whatever he drives, has that high dollar AAA stuff lmao. I think my next truck will be an 03 Harley Davidson edition with a lift, already found a couple of nice ones. In the past few days looking at the truck it's really been hitting me how lucky we were we walked away

Your guardian angel was certainly riding along. Glad all the damage was property only.
