Ugh. Good luck with it. This is a bad month for colorados

 

Thanks guys



No kidding, as soon as it happened, I was like aw shit, I'm now a statistic. :lol:

Shit dude! That's horrendous to flip on the side, and drive away! Is your next thread going to be "The day my truck was a stunt double for the General Lee"

Glad you were able to drive away (not because the truck was working).

Hope you feel well tomorrow dude!

:lmaop: that's great. Yeah I was happy I was able to drive away from it. Hopefully the roads clear up better by tomorrow.

Glad to hear your ok that's all that matters. Tough little truck.

 

More pics added to OP



Thanks, I was more worried about my rider than myself. First time I had a rider with me for that trip, my luck...

It is a tough little truck, I was impressed. I was sure I fucked up the front end under the chassis.

 

Sucks brother! Glad you're ok though

 

Glad you ok buddy

 

Thanks guys.

All I can think about in my head now is that damn 'Jesus take the wheel' song now. :lmaop:

 

Glad your ok. Maybe its time for a SAS while your at it!!

 

Thanks. yeah it would be time for SAS if I would have screwed up the suspension and drivetrain. :lol: but I got to fix the body only instead (fortunately, so I can still drive home)

 

damn, but its still a win...you were able to drive on

Yeah, I told the wrecker I didn't need pulled out, just to help me look over to make sure nothing important broke that I was missing. lol

 

This is a good reminder for all of us-pay attention more often.

I'm heading over the mountain pass tomorrow for Tahoe. I'll be driving through the storm that is here today. The mountains are getting dumped on right now. The highway is closed due to snow (because it's mountain highway and it's easier to close than to let dumbasses drive, not directed at you Wh1pple). Around here, people think they are indestructible while climbing from 500 up to 5,000ft on snow covered roads. Curves and mountains are different than flat and they forget that.

 

No offense taken man. It'll serve as a good lesson for all, and I'm satisfied if just one person takes something away from this.

I gave up my pursuit of making it home tonight. I got a hotel at the bridge (They are running escorts only last I heard, maybe even closed it down since then) and decided to wait until things calm down and it's light out. I just hope it doesn't get too icy downstate when I leave. I couldn't handle driving in that shit anymore for the night.. I learned my lesson.

 

Damn bro... glad your OK Levi. Keep us posted on the truck.

 

Thanks Greg. will do.

 

...it coulda been a whole lot worse...

 

So true... When I felt the truck twist in the air, I expected the worst... When I saw how "well" I came out, I was extremely surprised. Someone was looking out for me today.

 

That reminds me of a few years back. I was in a VW Beetle coming back to CA from Oregon. It was lightly raining/snowing when we stopped to eat. When we finished eating it was dark and the temps dropped a few degrees. At dark, temps at or below freezing and high elevation you never know what to expect. It was a slightly tense driving situation.

Glad to hear you called it a night. A little bit of relaxation will do you good. You were most likely running on adrenaline from earlier.

Take it easy.......rest up. Hopefully you don't have any whiplash or anything else.

EDIT: nice quote. ha!

Yeah, I think I was. My body was tensed up for the remainder of my drive. I had to pull off just about every chance I got to temporarily unwind. I needed to rest more than I would have ever realized. Chances are I would have stopped (or crashed) somewhere south of the bridge anyways from the tension in my body. My rider kinda wanted to keep going, and so did I, but it was in the best interest for the both of us to stop. A $62 room is cheaper than being dead or in a hospital.

Will do, thanks.

 

Glad you're ok. Have a safer trip the rest of the way.

 

Thank you.

 

Glad your ok man! Happy to hear the truck did it's job :thumbup:

 

That sucks man, I've already had my share of damage to my truck so even though I like hot rodding around, I drive like a grandma now when the roads are slick :lol2: at least you were able to drive out and drives fine and you are ok, that's the important part

Thanks guys. I was truly impressed with how the truck handled it as well. All the heavy metal damage on the side was where there were rocks on the side of the hill, and that's what the side of the truck landed on.

I drive like a grandma now when the roads are slick :lol2:

Exactly what I felt like driving the rest of the way across the U.P. :lmao:

now look at it this way u have to dukes of hazard it gitting in and out and off road rash is no longer a problem

I tried that, it's fucking hard w/ a lifted truck and white boy hops. :lmaop:

Bet it was a hell of a ride.

Yeah it was. To look out my driver's window and see the ground parallel to it was quite the sight. One I'd prefer not to happen again at 50mph and no roll cage...

I know exactly where that is. Really miss Michigan, especially the northern parts. Do not miss the black ice, though, shit is scary.

Yeah, it's definitely a common place for spin outs. I was finding chunks of other vehicles along with mine. I guess it makes me "feel better" that I'm not the only person to ever wreck there, granted, I should have never let it happen in the first place. :shrug:

 

Damn glad you're okay. The truck looks like it faired pretty well considering what it went through.

 

damm levi sucks to here. gald ur ok


now look at it this way u have to dukes of hazard it gitting in and out and off road rash is no longer a problem

 

Glad you're ok. It could have been alot worse. Bet it was a hell of a ride.

 

Yeah, glad you're ok man. Glad your truck is "ok" too. It definately could have been a lot worse. It's awesome you were able to just jump in and drive off.

You're a lucky man.

Glad you came through OK, hope the rest of the trip is uneventful.
