So last night I got a call from the (genral) Rick that there was a brother in need of some help and with everybodys busy schedules and broke down rigs I was called to duty so I grabbed a buddy and we went to the mountian where a guy had rolled his truck in a little stream crossing. Using a snatch block to the tree accross the creek we hooked to his newly installed sliders witch did not even have paint on them yet, the truck came right over like text book recovery, than my partner jumped in the truck and after sitting on its side for about 3 hrs it started right up, backed it up out of its bad way that it was in and drove it out like nothing here are some pics of how it was and some of the damage that had accured from the roll.

Wow, it may just be that I am only looking at pictures on a computer monitor, but the damage doesn't look as bad as I expected. Glad everyone was ok! :beerchug:

X2 I would have expected that to do way more damage. What's he going to do to fix it?
