What a day @.@
A simple day today went really bad today, I was first woken up my a friend of mine and a fellow Z car lover that his dad died today and he needed his Z back right then (I was working on a few repairs it needed) So I got it back to him and that was that was that
A few hours later I start gathering up my shooting stuff and reloaded some shotshells and my Other friend came over and we left to go shooting
Here wheres things get bad, as we left the highway going onto a off ramp style onto EXTREMELY under maintained road as we were going 40MPH, we hit a few bad pot holes and his truck started going side ways he miss corrected (turned with the slide on against it) and hit ANOTHER pot hole!!! We rolled over right into a ditch and came to a dead stop
It impact smashed up the cab badly but it didnt crush on us The drivers side hit the hardest and Mine took the lest, I smashed out my window (amazing the ONLY one that didnt break) and I got out and helps my friend out, No Injury at ALL to either of us
If a single weld more would have failed I would be dead right now as the truck was sitting FULLY on the cab. So Im alive and fine ATM Just shaken up I could go on with the story but its just boring stuff, pics soon to follow didnt get any of the truck sitting on the cab.

40 on an unmaintained road? And I thought I was the only crazy one 
I did a similar on a 2 track dirt road... approaching 40, hit a rut, rear tire blew, sent me flying, jumped a fence (rolling to the drivers at 40, WEEEEE!!!), landed drivers front tire first (again, WEEEE!!) , cranked it HARD to the drivers and came to a stop on all 4's. NEVER doing that again! No real damage to the truck, gotta love Toyota's
Hope the lesson learned is, the next truck he gets, get a long travel kit and a roll cage!
Good time can be had in an LT truck!!

You can just drive on the local freeway here that's all torn up. All that's probably in better shape that the road you were on. Glad to hear you guys came out alright. Overall that truck really doesn't look that bad, looks like it held up fairly well.
