What did u do to your raptor today?

Rolled it about 3-4 times. Going around a corner and the rear slipped out and within seconds I went into the ditch and the rolling started. As we were rolling, I just kept thinking I am alive and when will it stop. My wife was screaming the entire time. We stopped right-side up on rubber which was amazing. She looked at me crying with blood running down her face and asked why did I do that. All I could say was I was sorry.

We both stepped out on our own. Went to the hospital to get checked out and other than being somewhat sore we thought we were alright. My right chest hurt and they said to keep an eye on it.

During the night, I was having difficulty breathing and my neck was getting puffy with air. Went to the near by hospital and after a cat scan, found that my lung was collapsing. They put a tube in my chest so I could breath. Was there for several days and it wouldn’t seal on its own so the med air lifted me out to a Denver area trauma hospital.

I am still in the hospital, going on over a week now and not close to home.

Don’t think so on another GEN1. My wife is so touched on the raptor community and how they have helped so much so far that she wants me to build up my GEN2 and keep off-roading and she said she will still ride with me. But that will be awhile as we are dealing with all the medical cost and being out of work right now. I just want to get home.

Weekend project complete. Installed a Badlands Apex 12k winch on the SDHQ hidden winch mount. Everything fit perfectly once I relocated the winch control box onto the skid plate

Whats the thing on the passenger side that you cut out the wind dam for? Also I'd recommend one of those flat link winch attachments like what Factor 55 does. I think it looks really clean. Does that winch have wireless capability?

Also holy **** I saw the picture of @RDFTS and I didn't put it together that it was you but then I saw it a second time.... but damnnnn glad you're alive. I donated to your GoFundMe

The thing on the passenger side is a battery disconnect for the winch. The Apex 12k does have a wireless remote but also has the option for wired. I will take a look at the flat links. Thanks for the tip.
