had an accident today...

well had a bad day, last night was a late night, got 2 used tires for the wife's car until the new ones get ordered (cords showing...oops) manually put them on with a little help from the super c, got done late and was tired as crap after a long day at work. long story short i forgot to close my tailgate last night and didnt realize that when i left for work this morning. also didnt realize it was open till i got to work and saw my bed was now empty.. uh oh... all of my stacks supplies were in there. CRAP! called the wife who was generous enough to go on a recon mission for me and was able to covertly recover all of my mia parts without being detected. the debris field was spread for miles....lol the only casualty was my most prized peice..... dont know if i can save her but we are going to try.

somebody got a flat today......

Not all is bad. The outlet looks as if it's yawning. The little Jap gassers will think your falling asleep just before ya clean there clock. Think Positive.

Glad that ya got everything else back with minimal damage.

everything else is spotless, the tipipe is the only damaged piece, i think i can heat it up and bend it back to shape but it did bust the weld on the one side pretty good, i am impressed it held together after being run over.

I did the same thing back in the day with my dads truck, he had a tonneau cover and I left it in the back rolled up with all the support bars, lost all the bars on the way to school, forget the tail gate was down.

At least you got everthing back.
You think heatin it up you'll be able to get it back to a perfect circle??

Bummer man!! atleast you got everything back. If you can't get it back in perfect shape get it close then cut it short and weld a new piece of pipe onto it.
