Went off-roading today over at Hollister Hills, the whole day was fine and I had gone the entire day with out incident. I Saw a mud hole I high centered on last time and decided to try again. Coming up closer to it I saw that it had more water in it from the last time I was out here so I decided to proceed with caution and go around one of the edges to "test" how deep it was. My front driver's side tire fell into a rut or hole and my truck started rolling, it rolled so far that my drivers side mirror was half immersed in the mud/water! I thought my truck was a gonner, some of the "spectators" said that they saw the entire bottom side of my truck and that they had thought that I had rolled completely on my side! As soon as I hit the hole and started rolling I slammed it into reverse and saved myself. I was quite lucky, the only damage was an unseated rear passenger side spring, a broken drivers side rear light (I guess it broke when the truck was going over and was laying on the bumper and it pushed up on the tail light) and a battered ego. Funny thing is right after I attempted that a Unimog with 48's went through the same mud pit and the mud/water didn't even reach the centerline of his wheels. Check out the pics my girlfriend shot.
