glad your ok! like has been said several times, the truck can be rebuilt or replaced, your life can't! as you stated in your second post about starting to act more like an adult, i was in my late twenties when a driving( i was on a motorcycle) incident made me realize i was MORTAL. it was truly a life changing moment!

That must have been a 100% pucker factor ride. You obviously know that too fast equals not enough time or room to correct mistakes. We all go too fast at times, it just makes sense to pick your spot.
I am happy that you were not seriously hurt. It could have happened so easily. There is a lesson in here for all of us if we will heed it. Those pics make me want to slow up and take it easier.
Arrive Alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I roled my 70 over a few years back, I did the same thing, I leaned over at the last second and held on to the column, I never got a scratch on me. My cab looked just like yours, not much for strength there.
I still remember getting out of the truck, it was a real sick feeling, I had the smae feeling when I fell through the ice with it too.
Must be a bad week for cummins powered swepts, I blew a head gasket while I was in Arizona, wasnt fun at all.
The desert is no place for me. I was stranded in between Needles and searchlight for a few hours. Nobody would stop and help at all.
Im glad to hear you are ok, looks like it could have been way worse, seems these trucks like to tip easy.
I too need a cage in m y truck, Maybe Ill get around to it one of these years.
Glad to hear your OK. Trucks are easy to rebuild.
