Ouch
How'd he get it back upright? At least all that spare change from the seat was now within reach.

at least the cooler was strapped in because i think steve will need a cold one after that. (LOL) how did he manage that ? the trail doesnt look that bad ?
Steve are you alright?
Your misfortune pic has convinced me to get a "real cage".
I also have now have a reference photo of how to "tie it" to the frame.
I hope no one was injured. It is all fun 'til someone gets hurt.

On the way there
Poser-Hope you are OK. THe truck looks surprisingly good, considering.
Dang, Steve. Did extraction involve chain saws?
He always carries a chainsaw. I talked to him yesterday and they were getting ready to cut some trails at his buddies place. I think he was just cleaning out the truck....too busy to use the shopvac
Poser looks to be OK.
I would like to know how it happened

Thankfully Steve made it through with only minor bumps and bruises.
The situation could have been thousands of times worse. If you look at the pictures you’ll notice his rear tire against a tree. This tree stopped his truck from rolling down a steep, cliff-like hill about another 30+ feet.
The Red Truck made it through with a bent windshield frame, broken windshield, bent brush guard, and is drenched in gear oil. The roll cage and hood appear OK. I think we’ve tweaked the windshield back enough to get glass in it.
We winched it upright and it sat while we cleaned everything else up. After systems check it started right up and he drove it out of the woods. It didn’t lose any engine oil or brake and PS fluid.

No, we got into this position by using an 025 and 026 Stihl...
Well I am glad to hear that rider and rig both came out ok for the most part! Specially the rider!

Kinda dispels the myth about sprung under rigs not rolling
Poser looks like a cartoon character in the first pic......

Steve, glad your ok!
We bikers have a slogan that's common, "Keep the shiney side up"
BTY, those body mounts that are bent tubing look really cool, I may have to fab up a set of those.

Stihl 088 might've prevented this......
big enough, heavy enough, and loud enough, etc. to keep the roll from happening, maybe, if you had it on one side. Just kidding.
I see that underside is heavily fortified....Danas and some armor too are under there, but what are the frame to body supports I see sprouting?
Interesting view nevertheless.........go Mavs.
