So I managed to flop my truck on Iron mt rd on Saturday before the M&G. I just wanted to post up and say a big thank you to everyone that helped out including all of the Pollok Pines locals. I couldn't have made it out without your help. I want all of you to know that I managed to drive home after dropping the fiberglass top off at the dump. If I every see any of you on the trail in need of help I definitely help you out. I also helped two other broken down trucks on the way, including one that I strapped off the freeway. Funny the truck that rolled is running just fine and helping others now. So with that, how about some pictures. I know there where other people there with cameras too so post up!

Good to see you made it home.
Beat the 1/4 out and get a new topper for it.

Hard to believe that's the same rig that went wheeling with us yesterday...

We ended up in the same spot yesterday, with a broken yota:D. It was kinda nasty up there...the snow/road was so torn up. Everyone in our group ended up getting stuck at some point, except mine:). Finally made it home at 8pm.

I sold all of the parts trucks. I've already lined up another top from a donor and even a 1/4. Without the top on the truck looks allot better. She'll be ok ;) Also I'm really bad at remembering names but the guy with his son in the gold jeep that stayed back with me and tried to pull me first, I have your shackle I want to get back to you. I'm not sure who wound up with the receiver. If it's lost, let me know so I can take care of it for you.

Funny we spent all afternoon right there yesterday either stuck or working on a broke rig. That is an interesting section of the road right now!

I did the same thing up at Uncle toms Sat.
One the way out we hit a little snag...too much speed in the deep stuff...
