Bummer!

What happened?

 

[Chromed]

Soft sandy almost verticle hill and some eggin on from bystanders and 450 lbs of back seat riders. She becomes a new kind of toy now I guess. Thinking full cage and front grille bar , 5pt harness etc.

Very sorry to see

 

[peesalot]

everyone o.k. ?

 

[Michael Hanson]

Wow! Mike

Bummer - glad everyone's ok.

Where was that at? I know of one big sandy hill at Reiter that's put many on their lids before. IIRC, a guy in a Jeep died there a few years ago.

Full cage, tube fenders, and a new hood and she will be better than before. Add a front hoop w/ stinger so the next time you roll you won't have to replace metal again.

Hope everyone is o.k. Looks like the back roof might have come down on someone.

I'll bet you install a full cage for the next time.

Yea everyones ok. thanx. Deff full cage and stinger etc. Im looking at a deal for 3 cruisers, 1 runner and 2 in pieces for 2 grand but where to put it all and break even money wise along with keeping wife happy.

ouch looks like it took a hard one glad to hear no one got hurt

Two... or three passengers in the back seat... one up front too?.... out playing and pushing the envelope for fun?

Not the most well considered combination.

Difficult obstacles with the chances of rolling the rig, tackled for the fun of doing it, should be done solo.

Looks like the stocker rollbar did its job. Good to see.

 

[Devilmans Hand]

hmmm...So that's what a cruiser w/ a chopped top might look like.

 

[Kamikaze_Q8]

Ok now i am thinking of installing a full roll cage in my cage less cruiser

 

[Chromed]

Solo??? I asked em to get out they wouldnt,so we strapped down and gaver the onion! I do kinda like the chopped look, But full cage it will be and Ill not deny anyone of sound mind a ride when its time to play!
" More prepared will be I hmmm Yes more prepared"

 

[Benjitis1]

Dang!!! You say that happened at Reiter? Where at? We were just up there 2 weekends ago.

 

[Adolf]

Sad to see a 40 like that!

OUCH! Well I know mine was rolled with the hard top and the stock cage in it before I got it. I found this out after I bought it though because it was covered in bed liner and you couldn't see it till after the bed liner was off. You are going to have to check the body to see if one side or both didn't shift left or right. You are going to need several straight edges to check things, a sheet rock T square is good to have. Inspect the wheel wells on the inside of the truck one or both might be folded left or right. Check the rear of them too as you might now have a sag at the back of the body.

All of this is pretty easy to fix as you just need a way to get the weight of the truck hanging from the body, a BFH, a 4x4 of wood, and a port-o-power. And when you put in a full cage, make sure you tie it to the frame so that the body doesn't get hosed again.

If the driver says "get out" then the passengers should "get out."

Glad everyone was OK.

Tube fenders, stinger and hoop, full cage, bikini top...
