Wow! Thanks to everyone for the concern, sympathy and good wishes; looks like I'm in some very good company. To answer your questions quickly:

1. No, wasn't hurt...I shard from the rear window nicked my forehead but didn't draw blood.
2. Alas, the rollover and the light pole crunched the lower right q. panel and the right-side wheels wheels were half ripped, so no convertible conversion.
3. I believe this will be it for Raiders for now--if I bought one now, my family would kill me if the next rollover didn't. But that doesn't rule out getting one for snowplowing and non-highway driving in future.


The tow company did leave me time to salvage the inclinometer (brown) from the wreck, but not the bouncy seat mechanism. So expect to see me post that, the mini-library) service and shop manuals, owners' manuals and Thule racks (which were in truck at time, not on top, to save gas) in the classifieds.
I also have a new aftermarket wiper motor, three quarts of Mitsu tranny fluid and one OEM and one Bosch premium oil filter left.

PS: Great headline, Peter!
