"When the man upstairs finally takes me that'll be the first thing I ask to see. I got super lucky, blessed to be alive. The road I rolled on had nasty consequence too, I rolled twice and wound up on my tires backwards in a pulloff on the other side of the road. There's no guardrail on that stretch. Fifty feet further and we would have rolled about a thousand feet down into a river. Bent my frame, broke two wheels, destroyed the bed, but it never touched the cab. I wasn't even wearing a seatbelt, walked away without a scratch. Not even a bruise...my girlfriend (now wife) was sitting in the middle. Same thing, not a scratch. Guardian angel was working overtime. "
Not sure who all believes in God here, but I do, and that's plenty of evidence for me.

Actually bad decision on his part. I guess we all make our mistakes, this one was pretty ballsy. His response on the forum after saying that he rolled it going 65mph on the highway:

That truck came out pretty good for going through all that. Must have some great off roading in Alaska.

There are some AWESOME pictures in that forum from guys wheeling in Alaska and Canada. I would love to be able to make a trip sometime with a group of guys. Hunting/fishing/wheeling....sounds like a great way to spend...the rest of my life, haha.

it wasnt that bad, i'd rather this weather than this past summer working construction in 100 degree weather with 100% humidity. THAT was terrible. or roofing when its so hot the shingles stick to the roof before you can nail them down..

Agreed. There were some days this summer that really sucked. we had one day it was so hot we just shut down for the day. No reason to even bother trying anything else.
