Apparently, more money than brains. I don't care if it was a 500$ rig...you best believe i'd be back within HOURS of abandoning it.

a couple hundred???
if you dont take it i will! im not joking.

my neighbor was going to swap cabs and cage his truck, it can be done and isnt too hard. he didnt because he found a deal on a formula toyota chassis...

I know the whole story why it wasnt picked up right away.... First of all the owner broke his back.and had to be air vacd. There were two other rigs left behind that were picked a few days later. And this is why. 1 it was a remote trail that wasnt traveled often at all. 2 it was a tough trail that required a lift, tires, and most likely a winch. And more reasons for the yota? Insurance company. Wife of the injured guy. Tankerblade tried to go out there to see the comdition of it and ended up smashing his bumper. (tanker if I left anything out, let them know)

Ya so basicly it wasnt money before brains it was brains before stupidity. The guy was in icu for a week or two.

x2 on the leaving it out there...i was getting ready to organize a recovery team on the sunday after it happened, but the wife didnt want anything to happen, not only that i wasnt sure where it was or how bad the trail was, and when i was going there, it was insane...on top of that the gear needed wasnt available to me. we had to use 175ft of cable, about 60ft of strap, and anonother 15ft of chain, on top of the 150ft of winch cable...

Not only that the family doesnt really care...the owner was going to just get rid of everything and send it to the scrap yard

My main concern is to see if the frame is straight...i mean im almost positive it is, but others involved think otherwise...i just need to drive an hour to the other side of the valley and get under it.

But with the aftermarket bumpers, stronger crossmembers, im thinking the frame is fine

Here is a decent truck with no motor. You could build a decent truck out of this.

why would u let it sit for a month? who evr stole the winch and stuff made out, a guy from around here got his wrangler stuck in the mud and had to leave it there for 2 days. he came back to find all his glass broken, stinger bumpr gone, flats, and body damage. if there ever is a time were i cant get my rig home, id sleep in it (preferably with somekind of protection)

Are you serious? Dude, read before you post.... Have fun sleeping in your rolled yota with a broken back....


God some people.....

Tankerblade

read before you post. We got lucky because if that was anywhere else, everything would have been gone and it would have been torched...but due to the shear isolation of it, no one could really get to it.
