Holy sheeet, that looks like it was a hell of a ride! You are a lucky guy to walk away from that.
Man that's rough dude. Looking at your garage pics…that truck must be accident prone. 
Glad you're ok!

no I bought it wrecked an fixed it myself but ya I guess its went for 2 nice rides in its life lol thanks dude
Speedy recovery, I got rear ended sitting still by a f150 do 60 mph. I wasn't hurt at all bit totaled the truck 3 weeks after I bought it. It sucks but I didn't really have any money in it yet either like you.
That thing looks like a transformer

Amazing you definitely had someone keeping an eye on you. I think you should go get a new one
Yes there was!!! I wish I could afford a new one but I'm thinking about the best I could do is a lmm.... maybe early lml if I'm lucky.... I just love the look of the obs gmc tho...
Wow!! That was some wreck....glad to hear you're ok. Those are the worst types of accidents...offset frontal. Because you're basically absorbing the full energy of the crash with just sheet metal and no strong frame there.
Given how fast you were going, and being an offset frontal crash with a tree, the truck/structure/restraints look like they did a pretty decent job, especially since you walked away.
Be glad you were in a crew cab...an extended cab would (with its lack of B-pillar and much weaker cab structure) have been a much worse situation.
JMO, but I would see if you can replace it with an 09+ dmax that has ESC. Even on sheet ice, its pretty amazing what the system is capable of doing as far as preventing scary accidents like this.

Well that is crazy man. But so happy you made it out. The truck can always be replaced you cant be.
Good luck on getting better and take care man.

Wow you did a number on that truck. You're lucky you didn't get hurt any worse. I had a close call on ice @70 that would of ended the same way, but my angel was a little faster and I was able to recover before hitting a bridge.
Screw all that new junk. Get you a LBZ GMC.:thumb:

That's how it all starts
Glad to hear you're doing good.
haha that's how that last one started but each time I did something I had the motor tore apart.. like blown head gaskets one time. broke crank the next.. then bent rods lol
