P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[Delton]

Anyone in area of East TN I HIGHLY recommend Thompson's in Huntsville,TN. They couldn't care less mine has a "couple" modifications lol. Service manager cool as hell and tech Adam knew his stuff. He had hell getting my skidplate off though. Bringing him a set of tube doors next weekend for his troubles lol

I joined the "rollover club" this weekend. And since i hate doing anything half azz, i did it right. She barrel rolled 3 times and slammed into couple of trees. No injuries except a bruise on Riverrat Cadillacs butt. Damage to passenger door. Cage performed flawlessly with only some rubbed paint.

You can tell from the grade we were lucky those trees were there.

Factory tubing that holds striker got bent bad along with latch. Only damage to door was hinges bending. But door never came open. Some pretty tough doors lol.

 

[GlockMeister]

Damn bud! Glad yall are alright.

 

[JTW]

No, no, no... you were just product testing! That’s what I do!

 

[BigOL3]

Dang, looks you 'you did it right' for sure. That cage sure held up well and you are right about being glad those tree stopped you on that steep hill ....... lol

I hear all these stories about a roll feeling like slow motion. There was nothing slow about it. It was fast and violent. Aluminum roof was deafening loud lol. Harnesses did their job (for the one smart enough to be strapped in). Rat wasn't strapped and ended up with nasty bruise.
Rest of the day we had to crawl in over door on passenger side. Machine cranked right up. We winches at 90 degrees to get front swung around and it crawled right out. No other problems rest of day. Put a little over 50 miles in it (which is equal to 150 at Royal blue lol)

I know what you mean by being fast. I rolled a JD Telehandler (like this) over with boom extended on the side of a hill in Meridian, MS, while doing hurricane clean up after Katrina. Wasn't scared during the deal, but could hardly stand up 5 minutes later after crawling out and see the results.

They are awesome, they took a starter off a foreman to get my buddies P500 going at the TO last year. Super nice people.

Do doubt about it. The good Lord was watching over me!

Glad to hear every one was in one piece. Obviously your cage mod did well.

 

[Delton]

Where were you riding, Coalmont?

Tackett Creek.

 

[Smitty335]

Tackett Creek.

I have never had anything like that happen to me, I always keep the skids down! HA! Glad your good!

Just one of them things. Squeezed in between a stob and a root sticking out. Should've hit the stob i guess lol. Before i could even get out an "Oh sh*t" we was launched sideways down the hill. Alot of tight trails at Tackett.

The good news is I have 2 new cage builds coming up within next couple of weeks lmao. I guess safe crashes are good for business.

 

[Delton]

Totally impressed with those doors! Rat is a solid 300lbs and if he couldn't break it slamming into it, that's saying something.

Tackett Creek.

What trail was you on in tackett creek?
