First and foremost..I am so glad you are "ok". As far you can be right? Be thankful for the design and strength built into these trucks. This is what,,the third roll over or so I have read about on here,,I am sure there have been more that I have missed. Guys and gals, luck goes along way in most of these things, but be sure you are doing all you can to help yourself along the way. Pre pare yourself and your truck before hand,,make sure things are tied down in the cab, simple things like a sandwich cooler, that nice SLR camera, the helmet left in back seat because we were not going to be doing anything dangerous..ect ect. They can become things that lower your luck level during a rollover. Think about what you are going to do..sounds crazy but you actually have a lot of time during a rollover to think "this sucks,,what's going on", ect ect,,if you think ahead of time about what to do,,even practice it a bit,,your odds in favor of a less terrible ending go up. I am not on a soap box or anything,,just speaking from experience,,had rollovers before,,slow one and an explosively fast one,,heavy on explosively.
Again thank goodness you are ok. If they have to happen, and we all know they will continue as more of us head out to have fun and learn what we can do and what the trucks will let us get away with, I hope they all end up with everyone being ok. Do what you can to increase those odds

Still speechless....Clipping a rock off roading or being surprised by an on coming car heading opposite direction on the freeway such as the tragedy this morning in Diamond Bar are all events that impact all those who witness and go through it, certainly puts things into perspective and makes you appreciate those around you.

I've had the pleasure to have been on a couple runs with some of you and can honestly say that we always have each others back. Someone's always there to lend a helping hand or the act of simply looking in the rear view mirror to make sure all is ok and want to give mad props to all those who helped.

Lane - One tough cookie and surely a new beginning to bigger and better things. Tons of Vicodin and mad spa time....guardian angel was certainly looking out for you and embrace it, Sara needs you around for much longer....we all do.

I just have to say I had an amazing ride with my truck before the accident...

The power, the performance, suspension was just perfect- more than I had imagined.

Happy to hear you are OK.

Just think, your new Raptor will have suspension augmentation, a bumper tuck, a rear end tightening, and boatec.

Now I expect to see you back out on that trail ASAP.

Glad to here your O.K. Met you on the Toy Run. Would probably have been there with you but been sick & had to warranty a HD for my lap so haven't been on the site for a few. Hope everything works out for you & you get back in the saddle soon. Till then I'm sure there will be plenty of co-pilot ops!

I'm glad you're ok and sorry about your truck. I've read your many posts and was amazed at how you jumped into this hobby full bore and went all out building your truck and taking charge of organizing runs. I hope your insurance takes care of you and you bounce back into the Raptor game.
