Rolled my 60. Very sad. No injuries but lots of damage. A few questions.....

LOL! Not sleep driving...Everything's easy sitting at your keyboard....~45 minutes 2 trucks with winches, truck is rubber side down and resting back near civilization. Tomorrow or Tuesday I'll go sort out the fluids and drive it home.

And I was guessing 30 minutes. You must have stopped for a soda or pics. 45 minutes still gets the merit badge
 
Glad you got it righted rubber side down. Should have taken a couple of pics all wired up, I would have liked
to see how you did it. Since I've not had to recover something like that, god willing I don't it would have
been nice to see how it was done. Good luck with the truck. J
 
Not knowing how bad it's really damaged, there's a complete roof section for sale now in parts.

Good job on the recovery and hopefully you can make the repairs.
 
Got it out & home....I'll post up pics or a link when I get them but some locals stepped up huge and helped me out. Pulled the plugs/disconnected electrric fuel pump this morning to expel oil from cylinders, put the plugs back in and fired it up....A bit smokey at first but I was expecting that...Now to see what the damage is and figure out a course of action.....
 
might be a time to rethink your mud handle........;)
 
you tube video of recovery.

my flopped white truck and my grey BJ74....other guys showed up to help on minutes notice....Pretty awesome....
 
Nice to have people that know what they are doing and willing to help. I hope the damage is not to bad. You have a really nice Cruiser.

Indeed about people willing to lend a hand.... I put out the email in that video and like 5 minutes later my phone rang and Peter said "I'm sitting next to two friends, their trucks are in the driveway, and we can meet you at (near the rollover) in 20 minutes"......I was stunned. Thanks for the kind words, my cruiser is dinged up pretty good but I'm going to have a go at returning it to full service.
 
Hoping you can get yours rebuilt, bummer since its a nice rig! good luck!
Yeah thanks....Not quite the hit yours took:eek: I was going about 5MPH....
 
Im glad to see that you and your truck are ok. That must have been a real scare. The fact that people came to your rescue so quickly is awesome.
I hope your truck makes it back on the road soon.
I would give a call to Poor Wally"s in VT. He does really nice work.
 
Glad you got it out, good to see how fast the good comes out in people to help.
Best of luck getting it back on the road.
 
I would fix it! High lift jack and some bondo;)
