So the story goes like this...
Took my 1970 Toyota Landcruiser w/ 350 chevy down to the Russian river today to do some wheelin and play in the water. The old lady (not the car) and I got a little horny playing in the water. So we walked to the Cruiser to *talk*. Had a damn good time doing it too. That was the first time I've *talked* in it in the 9 years I've owned it. After the day was finished we left the beach we were at but some dumb ass construction worker who can't speak a lick of english barricaded the road. I got out looked at the road and the barricade and determined that I had just enough room to squeeze by the barricade. On the side of the barricade was a cliff about 2 stories high. While driving by I bumped the barricade causing it to pivot (wish I knew this prior to going around). The pivotting caused it to push me sideways toward the cliff. One tire went off so I tried to back up but the weight from the front of the cruiser was pulling it down and the barricade was pushing it sideways. I decided that I wasn't going to be able to back up so I turned the wheels hard to steer into the cliff so I would be going nose down instead of sideways. But about 3 feet down was a big tree that had fallen across the cliff. As soon as my front tire hit the tree it stopped any chance I had of going nose down the cliff. The ass end spun around also hitting the tree. As soon as it hit the cruiser slowly, ever so slowly began to roll over. Coming to a rest on the driver side. The tree is no longer in the pics but if it were not there the cruiser would have landed back on all fours. I had to cut the tree down to get it back on it's tires and use another tree for the come-along. Once I put her back in her place (on all fours), I started her up and drove back up the cliff and home. Today I woke up sore as hell, I feel like a truck hit me,..or I rolled down a hill in one. Not much damage to her at all though. Need a new roll cage (I didn't like the one on it anyway), need a new windshield frame (somehow it didn't brake the glass), and I need new fenders (wanted to put tube fenders on anyway). Now the pics...
I hope you have enjoyed this story! enjoy the pics! The Cruiser is still alive and running, and is still my daily driver.
