Just outta curiosity, did any of the airbags deploy? Not sure that they would given the way things happened, but it seems like most of the accidents I have read about on here had no airbags going off for some reason..
R.I.P. #2588

The impacts really weren't that bad. I can remember a few lease roads that I've taken harder hits in the KW at work.

Things are looking good, still haven't gotten a final offer.

No, I was going about 55. I just shifted into 4th under easy acceleration and it let loose into a spin.
Glad you're OK man. Atleast you still have one truck:dontknow:

Haven't got an answer from Ins. agent yet.
The engine was replaced just before I bought it @ 11,802 mi with an 05 from the factory.
I had the tranny replaced with an '05 (warranty) @ 22,539. It has 25,344 now.
Regular fluid changes with Royal Purple. (usually sooner than 3,000)
If you look at it this way at least insurance will pay for yours
If you do buy it back and part it out I want first shot at the motor
:rock:

Wow glad you are ok. I had a similar incident happen when I was driving a much slower Blazer Xtreme. Was not a fun ride on the side of the truck. Only had that truck a month. Anyway glad to see you are still with us and don't forget like unlike most of us, you still have another!!!
Did you install the roll bar or did the previous owner?
Was it a NHRA approved bar or just an after-market one?

I couldn't find what I needed to meet the requirements for the open road races, So I ordered the bender & tube and built it my self.
It is schedule-40 1.90 dia., 145 wall thickness (overkill & worth it).
All I had in at this time was the rear hoop, I hadn't finished the halo, down, & cross bars yet.

Yeah, She's on full time now. They were both part timers. When one tank got empty I'd fill the other one and drive it.
Inspired installation...the roll bar...
Someone needs to create an after market bolt in...not to meet NHRA specs but to serve as a brain bucket!

SAFETY FIRST.......WHERE INSANITY REIGNS!!!:rock: :rock: :rock:
The next one will have a "HANS" device, arm, & (possibly) leg restraints built in to compliment the racing seat & 6 point harness.

Just out of curiosity...
How were you planning on running the A-pillar bars? Where you going to try to run them through the dash or in front of the dash?

That would be great. Thanks!
Wow those pics are gnarly. Glad your ok. Did you put the roll bar in just for street safety or was it a track thing?

glad you are ok, Wolfram!
I'm looking for a roll bar like yours, since i've seen the first pics of wrecked RAMs, but I only found bars to mount in the bed.
My English is not the best, but I understood, you made the roll bar yourself. Do you have pics from inside the cab, especially how you mounted the bar? which dimension had the tube?
best regards
