Sarah rolled her truck on what is a very steep and curvy offramp coming off the highway in Colorado Springs.
She is fine, a bit shaken up, but no breaks or bruises.
I went down asap and her truck wasn't in bad shape. Drivers mirror and glass broken, a few dents, but nothing major. I would have driven it home if it wasn't locked up from being on its side.
So I was thinking who I knew in the Springs and called Justin at Redline. Justin grabbed a trailer and was there within the hour and trailered her truck back to his shop. He called later to tell me the plugs where fouled and he removed a lot of oil from the cylinders. I am hoping I didn't damage it when I tried to start it twice. We should know tomorrow when he puts plugs in.
I left Sarah my 80 and had my wife come get me
I was very impressed that Justin from Red Line (Mud Vendor!
) dropped what he was doing to take care of me. What a great guy and company.
Sarah said if it was any other vehicle, she could have been dead. I am thinking the front and rear bumpers in addition to the sliders limited the damage as well.
I'll post up after Justin gives it a try with new plugs
I bought a white 80 series door complete and have it sitting in my garage waiting to get the LX450 home. I plan an swapping the lock, handles and interior trim. Is there any cabling or other differences? Do I need to swap the electronic modules for compatibility?
I may or may not drill holes to install the cladding ( I know, leave it off)
I know, I forgot to take pictures.

Remind Sarah that, in the end, the experience will be good for her.
