Well hey guys!
Got the white truck back on the road after a long winter. First day driving it was yesterday..Sunny and warm out. Driving along minding my own business. And out of no where a mini van rear ends a Subaru suv and plows him into my lane. at about 45-50mph. I tried and tried to get around it. Didn't happen. I ended up going over the hood of the suv. No one was hurt except my emotions lol. My baby was sitting in the middle of the road hurt. I jumped in and fired it up to move it and she ran and moved. Not very well but she moved. Both the mini van and Subaru were totaled, junk. On impact my iced coffee fell onto the floor, and my iphone landed perfectly in the damn cup. Ruined that also. Just my luck. So day one of insurance bull crap, I am going to redo the truck, no if ands buts about it. IF they want to try and get me to use cheap aftermarket parts I will fight till the end. So far this has cost me over 500 out of pocket i.e tow, and iphone. So heres a few pictures.
P.s ,y arm was through the steering wheel resting on the dash...Take a look at my drag link! Am I crazy for fixing it? Or buy a Superduty?

 

well that just sucks!!!


but it also goes to show what the difference is between a "big gas guzzling pickup" and a jap crapbox.

 

If it was mine i would fix it. Looks like you put alot of work in it. Unless you want to use this as an excuse to get a new truck?

 

Funny you mention that...I test drove a few 6.7s today...Cannot bring myself to have a 600+$ payment lol

 

Fix it!!! Doesn't look that bad. Use it to get some new parts!

 

Kind of ironic cuz I went to the local yard today because they had a CCLB 4x4 white 97 that just came in.
Went to see if the doors/box were worth getting.

The two rears were pretty good, very minor rust starting on the inside underneath. The box was bent up pretty good, but rust free.

Shoulda got pics while i was there...


Edit: I found the link... Im not sure where you are located, but they want $115 a door and $225 for the truck box.

Our trucks don't guzzle gas Tom, they guzzle diesel fuel.........just sayin..........

Sucks about your truck bud. At least you weren't hurt.

 

That's to bad Kris, I would shred a few tears!! Fix it!!

 

not my words Bill, that is why there were quotation marks.














































and you call me senile!!

 

LOL! I was just pickin at ya anyway! And I've never called you senile.........I call you way worse stuff than that!

 

That's terrible news Kris. You've got a real clean truck and on the first day back driving it to boot!

 

Its very sad to see those accidents. Fix it.

 

Sorry to hear about the truck Kris. It was one of the cleaner trucks on FTE. I can't see the pics from my work computer, but good luck putting it back together.
