Thats my truck. Lots of mistakes made but no one got injured thank god. Not to much damage either. I was able to drive it home.
his truck is only 2wd jakey boy
Ahh shit forgot his was 2wd :doh: still I would have just got out of it before it kicked the second time.
Make it a 4x4. Usually when it gets going it grabs. I did let off. That's why dust flew up a little bit before the spin out. Yes I should have let off right away but better yet I should not have raced on that road anyways. People warned me about the short wheel base but I did not listen. Leason learned
thats good to hear, were you just trying to drive out of it and it come around on ya too quick?
EDIT: seen you just posted what happened
its hard to do on a reg sb truck with slow stock steering. that ass end will feel good, then whip right around and bite you. my old 2000 NBS 1500 reg sb prerunner did that to me a few times on and off the road. even with the little quicker rack and pinion steering, only so much you can do. never had it end like that though, usually just with me facing the wrong direction or goin a full 360

When I let off it took me to the shoulder. Then went back onto the road. I was off the power at that point. Hit the brakes and that's what spun me around. It was slowed down a lot but the rim caught the dirt and that's what turned me over.
You are 100% right. I have been trying to work on it at the track. Slicks helped a lot. But after this I want to go to 4wd
Not Much. Found a fender and door for 150. Just need a bumper and a box. The Box was already junk. Will be a easy fix. No injuries at all. It coasted me more when I twisted a driveshaft then this.
Your telling me. I was going to take it to the track in a couple weeks and get her into the 11s finally. Will have to wait a couple months now.
Nooo, don't do it. 4wd is so f'ing boring, stick with 2wd and just working on your skillz. 2wd is a blast on the street with the right tires and lots of practice.
I third that my sclb twins dual cp3 big inj. Was the most fun I ever had driving anything and boy does it bring the stupid out of you when you drive them ! But all it takes is one mistake and something like this happens many of times I said to myself afterwards boy that was dumb! But anywho again glad your ok and the trucks not to bad. Defiantly be a story for the grand kids someday
