Major roll

That is good news Kevin. I'm glad you were able to find a good donor truck for a great price! What color is your "mistress" going to be this time??

Well, that is still up in the air. The donor is black, however, my rear hatch is unscathed from the roll. Therefore, as a good luck piece, it's going on the donor, as well as the trim between the grill and bumper. Will it stay that color? Come tax return, I am thinking red, to match the F-350 and trailer.
 






Dayum Kevin, you definitely are the rollover king!! Glad to hear you're ok and that you have another vehicle lined up to go.
 






Well I don't feel nearly as bad as I did about my hatch.

Glad it's coming together well.
 






Kevin, you havent told the whole story......

what happened when you hooked up the trailer to Titans truck when we went to get my dads jeep with the PTO?
 






Holy crap!! Where have you been Arsoul????? :eek:
 






I've been around....winching kevins rolled rig up a mountain side....
 






Great to know you're still hanging around, I want to meet you someday. Long ago you made the most hilarious post I've ever read on this site and made me spit beer all over my keyboard and monitor :D
 






That roof looks like someone chewed it up and spit it out.
Have fun with the switchout, you would be well advised to put a cage in it or wheels on the roof ;)
 






aw man, it sucks to see a 1st gen that was nice look like that.


well fix the main parts, pull the doors and cut the roof off :D then weld in a cage :D
 






holy crap Arsoul, that is a sweet ride you got
 






I had to!

Note the make of the tractor ;)

So off we go to go get more winch power to get the X out of the 30 ft ravine. My F350 and trailer are on their way to pick up an International with a 15,000 lb winch in the bed. Ryan and I head off to his Dad's house to fix the track bar and pick up the 58 Willy's with the 20,000 lb PTO winch(I don't want to hear any jeep jokes). We hook up the trailer and get ready to load the vintange jeep, but apparently, the spring in the trailer hitch mechanism is old and no longer self retracts. Off comes the trailer from the ball and in slow motion strikes the tail gate of Titan's F150 as Ryan screams, "what the F*%k". After that mes is all over, we head back and end up using 3 winches to pull it out.

If it wasn't for the fact that I had a donor X and it was anything but a FORD tractor, than I agree.
 






You got PM's =)... Why didnt you save the hatch? Those pictures are worth a thousand words :thumbsup:
 






Time to start putting it back together. I actually pulled the entire motor, tranny and t-case out together. It's amazing the help a plasma cutter can be.
 






You move fast sir.......

Rick, did you want that door back?

It's a unlucky door! :nono:

Rick, did you ever roll anything with that door in? Might explain something! :p

Glad everyone is okay.

Look for a post from me soon concerning vin numbers. I have a question for you guys about them!

I hope you have a picture of your vin sticker Diff Whack Daddy! Go take one if you can, and then await for my thread I will post. I'm not doing it right now, because I have to go home soon.
