So I was in transit from NC to California and I had the worst accident I could ever have I had a blow out in TX and got drug into the center of the road where I commenced three barrel rolls while traveling at about 63MPH I managed to walk out without a scratch, just a little back pain and some head aches. My pig and my truck however didn't fare so well.

Thanks for the kind words guys. I was towing I didn't have a single issue from NC all the way to about 365 miles from the Texas boarder rough road and a blowout caused the accident. I had it fully covered and the insurance company has both in Odessa TX now waiting for them to appraise them and finding out what the outcome will be.
 
Damn! What a shame. I've towed a bunch of stuff all over the country and that scares me the most, having a blow out and rolling. I sure hope you said a prayer of thanks to whoever you pray to. Man, that could of been so bad, glad you're still with us. You're one tough S.O.B.!
 
:(I have had plenty of silence for the loss of my pig. It is so discouraging after buying my rack and front bumper and my repro mirrors and all the other work I have put into my rig over the last two years. Now depending on what the insurance company tries to give me I will have to rather start from scratch and find a new pair g to work on or maybe be out of the game till I can save up enough to buy another one.
 
My truck oddly enough started like nothing was wrong after the roll over.
 
I had everything checked out before I left and checked out the tire pressure and all tow equipment at every gas station along the way. Front driver side tire blew. It was scary to know after so many miles of driving I no longer had any control and I was rolling down the middle of the I10. I already miss my pig and truck.

Man, that sounds scary! Glad you survived as well as you did!
 
Vehicles can be replaced, lives cannot. Glad your ok, Hopefully another pig is in your future, good luck on the rest of your trip if you havent gotten to CA yet.

Stay safe.
 
Sorry to read that happened. Glad though that the human element of the crash walked away.
 
@Lil'John right now my pig is in Odessa, TX getting all the appraisal stuff done by my insurance agency. I would need to find out everything about getting it back and getting it all the way to California after that is done.
 
@npulver I have made it to California gotta get this house hunting done so I can figure out what's going to be next as far as land cruisers go. I love the pig just gotta figure out what my insurance company is going to be giving on the total if that is what is the outcome. But I hope I don't get shafted on this one.
 
I think I might try and get the insurance to sell me the 2UZ-FE and get a new project to drop it in. Since that all seems to be running fine after the accident.
 
@Lil'John I figured it was a joke. None the less I was going see if it was cost effective to get parts from it. But thank you for the well wishes.
