well was on the way back from picking up the gf this mornign to go load up hunting dogs when something in the truck locked up/pulled the truck to the right into freshly spread fill dirt where it sank in 8 or so inches and i finally fought the steering wheel loose intime to miss the ditch but in the soft dirt it slung around back onto the hwy where we went up and over (barrel roll style) and landed on the drivers corner of the cab where we then slide down the hwy 70 or so feet maybe more and came to a stop in the ditch opposite side the road.... the gf was able to crawl out threw the passengers window which was now gone but i was penned between the roof, seat, steering wheel, door and the ground where i stayed for about 45 mins while they used the Jaws of life to remove the door and removed a few thangs so i was able to get out hte vehical... they had a helicopter in route to which i told them even though id just flipped there werent none of them standing there man enough to put me on the chopper so they transported me by ambulance i effed my shoulder up pretty good and the gf got some scrapes and one badish gash on her shoulder that got 6 stitches

pics....

 

sheot'll buff out :flipoff2:

 

you know they gonna charge you for fixin up the road, rite?

 

Lettem charge

 

Close up of my door where they cut the door off to get me out....

 

how fast was ya goin?

 

how exacty did you accomplish such a feat?

 

Lucky you aren't dead.

 

I'm pretty sure you broke it!!!!




Glad you & gf are still with us....

 

Tom speed on the speed ometer was 60 which really means 63ish, and acroding to the guy who towed it the steering box is locked up and the shaft is broke at the joint i take it.... i guess i did that when i snatched it trying to free it...

 

Damn, Larry. Go buy a lottery ticket or something, cause somebody upstairs was looking out for ya'll. Lucky to be alive, my friend.

 

Yes we was, but so far today my shoulders still sore and a small spot on the side my head not sure if thats from the neck brace and being strapped down to the board and stretcher or from hitting it on something

 

i don't think ya hit it on anything, cause there is no dent in the truck or hole in the pavement from your thick head hitting it.

 

Glad to hear you are ok Larry. I guess you won't be needing that 300-6 Smog tube now.

 

lol Kris i doubt it... but then again its got full coverage so im waiting on the adjuster to check it out and i told them id be intristed in possibly buying it back that 300 i6 would be sweet in a little waggy..........
