Well, my bud rolled his 86 pickup when backing down a rock face. Got tippy, then on it's side, then roof.
The recovery was fun. Our theme of the day was SAFETY FIRST.
Gear used:
m8000 winch, 3/8 amsteel rope
ebay 20k snatchblock
some 2x6 for the actual rollover manoeuver
and a turfer jack to keep the truck from sliding further down the hill while we slid it backwards
Also brought the mall crawler along for fits and shiggles, and as an anchor vehicle.
On the way there to get it. Gotta get out to self-spot
EZ does 'er
The Mall Crawler on the same rock
Rigging a roll-over stick for a safer continuous pull.
Special thanks to Billavista for this handy trick
Re-rigging to set it on it's feet. Tires are chocked to keep the truck from rolling away while rolling over
The roof. Not enough headroom to drive back yet.
Have Hi-Lift, will do ghettofab bodywork and window frame repairs
Not bad eh
Checking fluids, using compressed air to help clear out the chambers
Anybody want to buy some parts? Haha.
