45 mph rollover today.

We walked away thanks to the side curtin airbags

Couple cuts from flying glass and my 9yo is gonna have a black eye but could have been a lot worse.

Glad you guys are OK.

Front and Rear bumpers held up amazingly well.
 
So sorry to see this but glad you are both OK.
 
Glad you are ok. Looks like a nicely built truck. Really curious to hear what caused the roll over.
 
Damn. Really glad you guys are okay. The 9yo will have a great story at school this week!
 
Glad you all are going to be ok.

I was clipped on the rear drivers wheel going through an intersection. I saw her but didn't realize she wasn't stopping until it was to late. I tried to counter steer but we spun around so fast I'm not even sure the front wheels were in the ground. We flipped onto the passanger side roof then kept flipping onto the driver's side where we slid for what seamed like 5 seconds while my head was bouncing off the side curtain airbag. Crazy thing there are no scratches on the roof so it must have continued flipping in the air.

I'm planning on buying it back from insurance and looking for a 200 series to replace her. It's possible I'll part it out. It was still running and I known besides the body damage and busted windows the rear axle is trash but depending on the how the frame and rear axle attachment points held up will determine if I keep it as a trail rig and sell the 80 or part her out.

I really can't believe how little pain we are in the morning. We're all a little sore and have some bruises but this wreck just shows how well built and safe these trucks really are. It only takes a second for things to change - please if you don't wear a seatbelt re-read my story above and be safe
 
Split second.I was cruising I-24 @70mph ,left lane,music jamming when I met a car head on being pursued by law enforcement.It happened so fast that all I remember is a blue blur. I swerved,he swerved and it turned out as a near collision but I still have “what if” moments….

I'd say probably a couple of grand in parts (mostly the interior parts) and then another $700 to $1000 for engine/transmission. $700 for the catalytic converter and then perhaps another $500 in electrical components, small parts etc. So I'd say about $3000 to $4000 in parts as best case scenario.
