Good Morning All,

I may have started a sensitive topic for some(due to injury or worst)

but as this is a site for sharing, I thought it good in starting a poll where fellow Hilux'ers can share their experiences with other.

I have seen and heard of allot of SFA Hilux's that has rolled or overturned.
Please share your "roll"

with us in the following:

Yes.

Vehicle: 1991 Toyota Hilux 2.4D Single Cab
Location: Between Dargle and Lions River in the Natal Midlands
Event: Pumping it at 120 round a corner (sideways rally style) Truck coming round the corner on the wrong side of the road. The only way to avoid the truck was to go off road, which I did, but coming back on the road (Still sideways and in control) the vehicle caught on the corrugations (That the truck was avoiding) and flipped on the road. Then it rolled down a "Cliff" which was more like a really steep bank into a stream. Landed on the wheels, and with the help of a winch drove out of there and onto a flat bed. Only went on flat bed because the roof was flat and not really driveable on the road anyway.

Lessons learned:
1. Don't trust a proffesional truck driver
2. Doesn't matter how in control you are, some other idiot will stuff up your day
3. Rolling doesn't hurt, you only feel sore the next day
4. Bug weed stinks

Yes, long time ago but as a passenger and not in a Hilux (Datsun 120Y).

This was probably as close as I've been to rolling the Lux ......

I would like to add "touch wood" as I voted No and would like to keep it that way.

Frank, het jou kar darem baie skade gehad of was dit gelukkig nie te erg nie?

Ek het in 2006 my 2.7 gerol nadat my tyre (Cooper STT) gebars het, het beheer verloor en dadelik n bos getref in die middel mannetjie... blykbaar so 5 keer gerol. Gelukkig het ek nie foto's gehou van die wrak nie... was n baie sad dag gewees... Bakkie heeltemal afgeskryf!

Ek probeer hard, maar ek is nie so goed soos julle nie!

Nog nie die Hilux. Maar in my jonger dae net my Golf 1 gerol op 'n informele rally, voorste shock het gebreek. Alles gebeur so in stadige tyd vir my gevoel.

Darm nogie my Hilux nie. Het paar jaar terug toe die eerste Ford Supercabs uit gekom het,my pa sin gerol. Was op n grondpad opad plaas toe in die middel van niks en nerens toe n band bars in n draai. Die ergste van als was die bakkie het maar 1500km op gehand. Moes toe 28km loop om by die eerste plaas te kom om te sien daars nie mense nie en moes toe nog 8km loop na die volgende plaas en darm daar mense gekry.

The thread's title is "Have you rolled your HILUX" The correct answer for you will be NO!

Ek het my 2002 IFS 2.7 S/C begin van die jaar gerol. Was oppad Moz toe op n' grondpad.

Daar was n' knik in die pad, ek het spoed verminder en toe ek op veertig kom en nog aanhou briek toe begin die bakkie gly op n' moder stuk in die pad.
My trok het aanhou gly tot ek dog dis nou kla toe vang die neus die oorkantste sandwal en sy gaan lê heel rustig op haar sy.

Ons het haar weer op haar voete getrek. Die canopy weer opgesit, vasgemaak met tou, die naweek se voorraad terug gepak en die enjin gestart. Sy het vir die volgende 50km so bietjie gerook, olie op die exhaust. Maar ons het die naweek gaan geniet.

Terug by die huis is sy paneelkloppers toe, R44 000.00 se skade, ma sy was weer splinter niet
