some pretty serious catastrophic damage for a 30-35mph crash.

Thanks guys .

It looked better upside down.

Where it went off the road, they just finished repaving it, and it dropped about a foot off the road surface, and when it went over, it landed square on a pile of waste asphalt. From inside, it was actually a fairly gentle event, no airbag deployment even. I was really surprised it stayed on its roof. It was actually balanced on it. The front end is still in prefect shape sheetmetal wise, and the bed is only banged up on the pass. side. Vehicles in rollovers rarely stay on their lid unless they're being supported by the hood or bed. There's just too much weight rotating for it to stop with the weight up top.
