    thats nuts Tom! wonder if any traffic cams in the area picked up a video

    also from your description, I wonder if the trailer helped to bring the VX back down onto all 4s instead of rolling after you ramped the escape. maybe the trailer was actrually a good thing! (although i suppose you may have been able to stop in time without it.. who knows, glad your ok though

    They do, just pull the fuse under the hood

    If you had the spare tire on the back, it might have helped your truck maintain its balance better!!!

    As for parts, almost all of the 02 trooper front end parts are the same, don't let a mechanic rip you off for special "VX" parts there is a whole steering assembly for sale on Ebay right now, 67 bucks plus shipping, I already emailed him about it, has everything from tie rod end to tie rod end. That will help.
