Cause you've never made ANY mistakes or did anything stupid when you were young. Your comment is plain retarded.
 
Glad you are OK. Health first, truck second.

I bet there are a lot of folks on this forum who have drifted their truck in the soft stuff but won't readily admit it now. I have done it. I bet a lot of people at surf and turf have done it as well. After reading this though I don't believe I'll do it again. Chalk it up to a lesson learned.

Nice attitude motoloco. Is that what you would say if your wife, child, parent made a mistake and ended up in the morgue? It is heartwarming to know you value the metal that is a land cruiser over the life of a fellow mudder.

Like has been said, lesson learned.

Jason: "Uhhh Mom, I've been in an accident."

Mom: "Oh my god, are you ok?" What happened?"

Jason: "I wasn't may fault, and I've only damaged one kidney. No one died, so it's OK"

Mom: "oh my god, what happened?"

Jason: "It wasn't my fault. Billy Bob, me, Ricky and Joey were at the lake having a picnic, and this dude in a Suzuki challenged me to do do some drifter turns on the lake bed in dad's car."

Mom: "I told you hanging out with those losers would get you in trouble. You've been drinking again, haven't you?"

Jason: "No mom, I only had a couple. We did some sweet drifts and a couple of sweet jumps, and suddenly I was rolled over! It wasn't my fault."

Dad: "Jason, get your a$$ home. I'm not buying you another car. I'll have the Marine recruiter dude at home when you get here. You may as well stop and get your hair cut on the way."




Dude---Glad you are OK. How do you tell someone you rolled over on perfectly flat ground with no obstacle bigger than a quarter in sight? This remeinds me a bit of the guy who rolled his 60 in a Lake bed because the "tide" came in or what ever. That could have been ugly, so now you're down to 8 lives.

:lol:
 
1. glad no one was hurt. bruised kidney sucks, been there, done that.

2. the damage pic makes me a little mad, i'm on the hunt for a 80 and that pic makes me want to murder someone.

3. dirt drifting is best reserved for beater rally cars. you and your buddies should all chip in, buy a clunker suburu or bmw 2002, weld the struts solid, weld in a solid rollcage, get some 5 points and have at it. also invest in some helmets or your kidney wont be the only bruised organ.

p.s. if you fxxx it up again, tell your parents i'll come get it. :flipoff2:
 
Jason!

That's too bad man.
Drifting is done on vehicles that are close to the ground...
If it can be fixed do it.

Regards

Just disregard this A-hole. :mad: I forgot he has never made a mistake and also walks on water.

Drift turns in a Cruiser?
I was wondering what kind of still-birth would try something like that, and then I saw your picture.
Look into a Chrysler Sirrus, or something you can't further 'Darwin' yourself with.

Take your s***-talking back to NAXJA. I heard they locked that place down so it can only inbreed now, no new blood. Guess you're trying to escape the inevitable retardation factor. :flipoff2:

I'm sure a lot of people here have drifted an 80. I know I have for sure. Then again my 80 isn't lifted.

Glad to hear you're ok Jason.
 
alright, so I get that a lifted 80 isn't the most ideal vehicle for drifting. high COG yadda yadda yadda. But give the kid a break! he was out having fun with his cruiser in a relatively safe environment. It's not like he was trying to drift it on public streets. He was on a dry lake bed with basically no one around. Pretty controlled risk if you ask me.

What's the difference with what he did and someone trying to climb Potato Salad Hill in Moab with their 80? I mean c'mon, something unexpected could go wrong in either case resulting in a truck on its lid. Had he rolled it on a trail somewhere, all of you knuckleheads would be patting him on the back telling him too bad but at least he rolled it using the truck the way it should be used.:rolleyes:

All of you f-tards talking about Darwinism and that he totalled "yet another" clean 80 series (that for the record are a dime a dozen compared to the cost of a 40 these days) need to have your nuts permanently removed because you're not using them anyway. If anyone of you can show me that you've never tried something in your youth (or even in adulthood) that in hindsight was probably pretty stupid, then we'll talk, but in the meantime go get some more handlotion and get back in the padded cell.

Jason, sorry you rolled your truck, but should be fun to see what you can do with it now.

When you guys get some help for your superiority complex, let us know.

In the meantime, the acronym STFU comes to mind.

oh yeah and drifting a lifted 80 on a lakebed is much easier/safer if there's a little mud.

glad you're OK.
no comment on the stunt.

One thing I found interesting in the recovery is when they put it back on all 4 with the cable. After he tilted it under tension, he let the clutch go and it fell to the ground. Good thing, I guess because if he had lowered it slowly under tension, the cable would have creased up the rocker panel. Probably could not do that release with a wheeling winch, would have to lower slowly all the way? Then additional damage for sure?

Well yes, and that too....I'm just jealous because I'm bald...Vin Diesel bald to be more precise :lol::grinpimp:
 
Sorry about the Cruiser, but good to see you guys all made it out safely. Hopefully I've learned from your experience. in true mud form, you were still able to take pics.:D

The proper way to right an overturned vehicle with a self recovery winch is:

Place recovery vehicle at 90 degrees to vehicle to be recovered. Back about 30 feet. Use a long log chain to loop around the front and rear axle of the overturned truck, on the opposite side of the vehicle from the recovery vehicle. Put a large branch or 2x4 with a notch cut in it in the middle of the chain, lifting it up by 5-6 feet making an inverted V. Attach winch hook to the upper most point of the inverted V. Pull. Vehicle will roll over and drop when past vertical. You may need to strap the axle to the body to encourage the pull.



If I had done that when I was your age I would not have bothered to go home. Seriously. My dad would have beat the sh!t out of me for that.
