    Default done with wheeling for a bit



    like it said im done with wheeling for a while because i was up wheeling on some trails on the 4th, we had a good day and when we got down we hit some standing water and rolled my new blazer, everyone walked away with some bumps and no broken bones but the blazer is done for and the only thing that happened to my was a stiff back. pics are soon to come

    Sorry to hear this but glad nobody was hurt. You should probably get your back checked though Keith.

    The start of my backs downward spiral was the result of a rollover when I was 20.

    What happened? Did you roll on the trail, or was it on the way home? Good to hear everyone is OK. How bad did the truck get tore up?

    Good to hear everyone's mostly OK, Keith.

    No chance of getting the Blazer trailworthy again?

    i was on my way home and we hit that standing water under pena blvd and startedfish tailing and spun sideways and when we hot the dirt we were done for, i am not sure how many times we rolled but the body took most of the damage and the enging and everything still works good so i started to look for a new k5 and found 1 that i am going to put my good 350 in the place of its 305so i got some work ahead of me.

    On the good side is everyone made it out for sure that is what is most important, Make sure you get your back checked out good, after getting rear ended last year I am just now finding out that I have permanent damage to my neck from that one accident. Good luck and heal up fast as possible.

    Glad that you are OK Kieth! Rollovers and accidents of any kind are no fun. Definitely get the back checked out!

    No I was not, I would have went with him in my rig if I didn't have to work. I did go help and check on him as soon as he called me and told me where he was and what had happened. But seeing as he lives across the street I have seen the truck already.
