Petersville got the best of my truck yesterday and I am in need of a GOOD body shop to have my truck taken to for estimates. Could be borderline totaled so it is very important to me that this shop knows what they are doing.

Please pass on any info you have.

 

What the heck??? What is Petersville?

You just got this truck running again.... and now it's near TOTALED???

NO EFFEN WAY DUDE. I almost have a tear in my eye. After all you've gone through, I hope it all works out. What happened??

 

I will try to explain this sometime with pictures. I still haven't even caught up since finishing the rebuild.

Peterville is a 50 mile road about 10 miles north of me, which goes to a little town right next to the state park. Its basically a non-maintenance road popular for hunting and snow mobiling in the winter, which fun for general off roading and hiking in the summer.

At the end of the road there are a couple small water crossings. My friend did a couple of them this summer in his Honda Pilot and the water was barely over his hubs. I did it after freeze up and when the truck broke through the ice on the return trip it was almost up to my mirrors.

One thing is for sure, she is one tough son of a bitch. If my friend and I hadn't gotten back through and across the river we would have been stuck on the wrong side with no cell reception, no clothing, no food, and only the heat from the truck which did have plenty of diesel.

 

Well, at least you seem to have a damn good time with it when it's on the road
