Boys, Girls, Ladies and Gents,


I know that many of you already know what happened to my beloved FJ .. :TT TT::TT TT:.

Sweihan is a place of awesome dunes great views and is one of my favorite stomping grounds. It is also the place of many accidents rollovers, broken diffs, axles, rims and so forth the list goes on.

I decided to not share my story right away for personal reasons. Then work piled on, running around sorting my insurance out, bank stuff, etc etc ... sweet cheezus what a hassle.

The important part i suffered no serious injuries.

The main reason i believe is due to everything i learned at the beginning of my time with almost.


STRAP EVERYTHING IN
WEAR YOUR SEATBELT. (which is surprising how many people don't)

What happened i believe with a slightly hyperactive attitude i take towards offroading coupled with being tired from sleeping in my car the night before, testing the water with the limits on gravity :hororr: and a miscalculation (which takes a mere second) with regards to speed vs crest type and my entry angle.

I tried to attach the images to this blog but i was not able to due to size so follow the link below to view the carnage of what could happen if you do not pay attention.

My only aim here is for others to see learn and god for bid never repeat.

As for the next vehicle ... we will have to wait and see.

Warm regards everyone

Big Red ...

i guess i have to change my signature huh!!?!?
