Wahaha, someone else rolled over! Now you guys can quit talking about me... I wish we could've been there. Spent the morning watch Charlie replace the fuel pump on my truck then just did things around the house while he went up and worked on his truck. Pretty soon we can organize a shake down run with the Flying Farm Truck!!

I'm glad you find it amusing. I don't.

Yes that was a brutal scary roll, from what I was told and seeing the aftermath. I'm just glad your cage held and everyone was all right. Please check all your welds around your cage just to be safe.
It’s one thing to see a little “flop” like nicks on the Rubicon. That one was funny. I loved seat belt after wards. But this one was bad and could have been much worse. I don’t wish that type of flip on anyone.

I didn't mean it to be mean, sorry if it came off that way. I didn't catch the part about rolling over one and a half times until I went back and skimmed again. I thought it was just a slid down the hill and fall onto its side type of thing. I'm glad all is okay. Other than sheet metal bent did anything else get bent or hurt? Does it still run ok?

I didn't figure you would say anything mean. Kinda read that way but I'm a big boy and can handle it.
I popped the hood and every thing around the eng looks good.
The inside cab is straight. No structural damage that I can see. It does feel like it my be doglegged a little. I can fix that by adjusting the links.
As for the actual roll it bothers me now looking back knowing what could have happened more than right after crawling out of the cab. Thankfully we are both ok. Stupid me didn't have either one of us in shoulder harnesses. Thank god the lap belts were enough.

How do welds look, like Rusty mention? Do you think you will have to do any touch ups?

Sheet metal....that's just a flesh wound. It is good to hear everyone was all right.

Hopefully next month sometime I can get it up to browns camp and run archers. May still be sportin bruised sheet metal though. Funds are questionable at the moment. We have another big meeting at work on wed.

I keep using stock sheet metal so it is still recognizable as a chevy. Technically I can wheel with no sheet metal at all but I do like the look of a chev
