    Yeah, and how many people walk away from those rollovers unscathed?

    I like it, good advice. I don't use a roll cage or seatbelts because I figure with my cat like reflexes I'll just jump out of the truck before it rolls over. I saw this in a looney tunes cartoon where the roadrunner jumped out of a falling elevator just before it crashed to the ground and survived. I figure the roadrunner and I have similar speed so it should work.

    I like how the example you use is on a hill called The Widow Maker and there is a huge cross on the hill commemorating the people who have died there. :rofl: I've seen three rollovers on that hill and have climbed it myself in various vehicles including the Tundra.

    I've wheeled with you and have no doubt you know how to handle the truck. But I also know after wheeling almost my entire life, that shit outside our own control comes into play when we least expect it. At some point, I'd like a simple 4 point hoop inside that doesn't force Lisa and I to wear a helmet, but could help in the case of a simple rollover. It may never happen, but I'd consider it.

    But first I need to install the ABS fuse interrupt so I can fully disable the antilock brakes and traction control. ABS has almost killed me more times than a lack of roll cage.

    Alex makes my butthole clinch while I’m in his truck. But I’d rather be in his passenger seat on a technical trail or gnarly climb than the drivers seat of my truck... so that says something

    And he’s like Romainian if I’m not mistaken

    You're so full of it Kevin. If you thought a cage or roll bar or whatever was so important than you would have installed one instead of some weird nitrogen system or a slide system that falls apart or ten thousand dollars on icons :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Definitely would. Love a good E ticket ride.

    All true. If it was that important, we’d have one already, but same with sliders. You don’t need them till you do. Like I said, I gotta make it more dangerous first, then add the safety stuff.
