Mistakes Were Made

By: David 04/27/2023

So....... a couple of miscalculation happened, 1 - The coefficient of friction and, 2 - My driving ability LOL. Actually, my front drive shaft was loose so I didn't have it in 4wd like I usually do and I might have been having fun with the back end breaking loose in turns. Well, in one turn, coming down hill that had just been freshly graded (which causes all the little stones be nice and evenly spaced and turn into freaking marbles!) I gave it a little gas and the next thing I know my back end has whipped around 180 deg, But I thought, ok I can handle this, but then the truck decided to suddenly grip and the momentum of the truck started tilting it over. So about this time I'm saying some quick prayers but apparently I didn't say them fast enough because the truck went all the way over on its side and almost kept going down a slight slope but my prayers must have finally reached and the truck stopped from rolling anymore.

I was able to call my Son and have him bring my Ford Expedition which I hooked up a strap and rolled it back over. It took a few tries. I have some video I'll try and upload. I was able to start it right up and drive it home.

It took some decent damage but could have been worse.

It didn't touch the hood amazingly and it would still open and close ok.

But I'm working on it and it's almost back to normal :-) which I'll show next.
