Why you need a parking brake.

It was sort of fun driving around a couple days later with the door completly off though. I never thought I would say this but I miss my side step.

I missed the door, it has been since replaced (I will post pics)
I did post about the whole thing right after it happened but it was a novel and i don't think many people read it. Basically I got stupid on this hill i was trying to winch up. I thought i winched far enough to make another run so we pulled in the cable and tried for the rest of the hill, made it about 5 feet forward then about 10 back and hung up pretty well on a rock. I had been winching and it was late so i didn't think twice and left it in neutral as i got out to look under the truck, leaving the door open. I got out looked under the truck didin't see much, started to walk away to kinda think it through and turned around just in time to see the truck start rolling down the hill backwards. You can guess what i was yelling at that point. Luckily my winch man was still in the pass side (his son and my roommate were in the back) and he got his foot over and on the brake but the nearest tree had all ready introduced the door to the fender, and the window glass to the forest floor. It was a monday night and we got out of the woods at around 11:30... it was a long week that week.
