Glad everyone is OK. Hwy 191 is a pretty narrow stretch.

Let me add to my voice to those that say glad you are all okay...sorry to see an Ex meet it's end.
As I have written before, a former neighbor rolled his previous Ex with a travel trailer attached. Both he and his wife walked away. When I asked what his next step was...he said..."find another Excursion".

Just finished 7 hours of pulling all my valuable parts out of the X. Poor girl, you have to shove the left barn door to shut it. I put the original tires and rims back on and started her up. Ran like a champ. Burned off oil smoke for about a min from being upside down and that was it. Steering turned but it made a big pop turning it to the right. The more I look at it, the more I see wrong. Now the wait for an insurance adjuster to come from 150 miles away--that ought to be real quick

Wow, so glad you are ok. What a scary and sad thing to see...an Ex on its roof. But it is reassuring that the roof didn't collapse. I've always been a little leery of what would happen in a rollover, since I carry my family a lot.
Good luck with the insurance and the hunt for a new rig!

Karl

Yep, glad everyone is OK! yep totaled!
And this proves that the video out there of the X being dropped on its roof is no where near what happens in the real world. It looks like the X was driveable after it was righted! not even a broken window!

Every vehicle has that angle somewhere, you just have to want to make something look bad and point it out if you want to make a statement

Sorry to hear about the Ex but damn sure glad none of you (including the furry kid) got injured.

Got everything but the sway bar and my $60 Phillips headlight bulbs
Well I got like 14,800 out of insurance which should have been more like 16,700. Somehow Kelly Blue Book doesn't know what they are doing since the insurance company uses a different "service"--they did not volunteer who.
$1000 worth of upgrades within the last year (many which I stole back)-they gave me a $71 credit.
As Gomer Pyle put it Surprise surprise!
