Extremely bad news!!

If you havn't already, check out my post in the General forum. My truck has been totalled tonight. I just wanted to thank everyone on here who has helped me with any kinds of things i had to ask. In particular, I wanted to thank all the guys who helped me with my 4x4 conversion on that truck, but looks like i dont need that information anymore sad to say. Anyone have a nice truck they want to sell me? THIS TIME I AM GETTING ONE WITH 4x4!!!



Primary rig is GOONE:
95' F-150 EB 300/6 5 spd with 4" Superlift, MSD, Ram Air, Gibson Exhaust, 32" BFG Muds
THERE ARE SOME PICS IN MY GALLERY!! :-)


Then theres:
88' F-250 Superduty 351 + c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 and a
3 spd column shifter. Top speed, 65mph, Go Baby Go!

The newest addition to the Ford family is a 99' Mustang GT 4.6L

Bummer dude, I hope no one was hurt. Trucks can be replaced, people can't.

Jee, that sure is a bad deal, I know I would freak if my truck was totaled. I wonder, do you get to keep any of the mods off the wrecked truck? I think some insurance companies are different than others on that.

The post i made in the General Forum is "a sad sad night. Time to say goodbye." That one explains everything that happened.

if the lift and tires are all still good i would take those off your truck to put on the one you get next, if its the same body style and year and all that. i know the 4x2 lift wont work on the 4x4 but some of it will.

Yeah, i am gonna try to get as much off of it as i can. I still have my old coil springs..and parts. I think they will give me money for the kit though, because i have the receipts of everything i put on it. If they give me a few hundred bucks for it...i'll be happy.

Sorry to hear that Mustang but glad that apparently no one was injured. Your truck was really sharp, but you can fix up another!

i know how you feel ,


i am sorry to hear about youre truck. i know that you were probably crushed when something that you worked so hard on was suddenly practically destroyed , with you in it no less.but the most important thing is that everyone was alright .it doesnt matter what you have (rusty old truck with all stock parts and high mileage,or a well cared for truck with extras like youres ) in my opinion all that matters is the value to you


p.s. can you leave a link on here to get to youre truck pics


owner/driver 86 f-150 efi v8 302 aod tranny 2wd (a little rusty but runs good ,the only part on here that is not stock is the glasspack muffler )
also 85 ranger carb 2.8 v6 2wd auto 150,000 miles and still going

Yeah, some of the pictures in my gallery, had to be brightened, so the color looks pink in some of them. There is one picture there, taken when i first got it, which shows the real color. I mention it in the description. It is red with the tan eddie bauer two tone.

I'm just glad to hear you're both alright.

Hope you get what it was worth from his insurance company. You could always argue that every piece of aftermarket equipment you put on the truck was one more piece that saved you guys from further injuries due to that idget car driver.
