Well I made. Mostly in one piece. Some hair is missing but pretty much grown back by now. One truck is amiss: a total loss. On the morning of the day we left some guy in utility truck decided to take my lane (I was passing him on the left) on freeway without looking. Some fishtailing ensue. Rolled 3 times they said after meeting guard rail on overpass. God bless seat belts and good deal of head room (there actually was enough left for me to seat comfortably after it was over). Only apparent damage was sorta like somebody took cheese grater to my had and rubbed not ever so gently. I'm guessing I'm pretty lucky on outcome. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/patriot.gif" alt="" /> Monty proved to be one tough nut to crack. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/mrt.gif" alt="" />

ouch. where did that happen?

kind of late to the thread...just joined...but im about 10 miles north of portland. still trying to get out and find places to wheel. moved here last year and picked up my first 4x4 about 9 months ago.

It happened in KC, MO. Guess it just didn't want me go. Now we are settled in Beaverton just north of hwy 26 for now. Walking distance to work (about 1 mile). Healthy change in lifestyle I guess.

wow. didnt even make it out before crap happened. that sucks.

im down in beaverton quite a bit. friend lives off murray near haagens. that wasnt my montero you saw down there. my engine is still sitting here on my engine stand.

Wow that sucks man. I am sorry to hear about the wreck, but glad to hear you are OK. I take it the monty is totaled now? and what are you plans to replace it if it is??

hey i just moved back to portland sunday.moved away for 4 months and moved back.i have been to most of the wheeling places around here.browns is awsome....you can get the class 2 atv permit at gi joes,the shell 10 miles before browns,most atv shops,ect.it is 10.50 and is good for 2 years.there is some wheeling near vanc by battleground.there are some other area's talked about on the forum at gitout.com.

Dang Alex, glad your OK.

That Montero held up very well. I dont know if you remember Joel from here but his family rolled his SR like a pencil doing about 70MPH down the interstate and everyone was fine.

Monteros are tanks for sure. I'm glad yours protected you well. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Thanks guys.
So anyone up to some local wheeling? I can try to carve out some time.
