Unfortunately, 6 months later, he fell asleep on his way home from work and totaled the truck. LOTS of work down the tubes on that one.
I had that happen to me with my first Ranger a 1996 4x4. I was working nights & I was a couple miles from home when I fell asleep & went off the road & hit a tree. Fortunately I was not injured.
Cameron was working 3rd shift at the time... about 3 miles from home. Didn't hit a tree, instead, he chose a metal street light pole. Snapped it right off (although I have heard these are designed to do just that). Police on the scene said the marks in the ground indicated the truck rolled 6 times before coming to rest. And like you, luckily, he was not injured other than some minor cuts and bruises. That Ranger held together VERY well to protect him.
