    He is 24 yrs young, that should of told you why he flip it, not to mention it's also a road he's been thru many times.
    Maybe that why on another thread he's trying to sell a 1986 "359" for $80,000. He needs the cash to fix he's truck.

    That still does not explain how someone could flip a truck while driving down a perfectly even road...no curves, no corners..

    How does one flip a truck on a straight away??

    I need an answer...for I may be able to help him...

    its not my truck dave, i posted that earlier its my dad's truck, he wanted me to put it up for sale for him. i may only be 24, but i hauled my first load out of the bush at 14, i have been around trucks my whole life and know what I'm doing.
    gohsty-if you look in teh pic from the front you will see there is a corner about 1/8 mile back, that is where teh trailer went in, it was a right hand corner, i swung too wide, the steers started to sink so i tried to pull it back to the middle and the trailer slid out to the left. it sank deep so i dropped the hammer to try and get it back got it close, but the last bit was just too much and she stopped. that is when it flipped.

    Tell ya what, if you come down my bush roads empty without crying; like some highway guys have before, ill let you "help" me till then, shut it.

    p.s. nice sip pic, but its not from revenge of the sith.

    Ok, fine...i was simply trying to win you a lawsuit against a shottly designed county road...

    A law suit...I thought maybe you hit a sink hole or something...

    Have you hired a lawyer yet??

    I hope you did not confess it was your fault on the accident report...

    Oh...and thanks for the acknowledgement on Star Wars...
    I think 'Revenge of the Sith' was the best over all produced episode of all the installments...(Except for maybe the first one, of course)

    Probably a private road... travel at your own risk and all that.
