This is what I did last Friday night.

It ended up on the pass side; I walked away. I hit the pole right on the centerline of the axle.

this used to be a tie rod. Reinforced with angle iron.

down from above at the main impact point.

here's my finger:

MC sliders saved the door.

Duffil · « **Reply #3 on:** Dec 27, 2005, 06:59:13 PM »

about 12,500. Or, in layman's terms, a loaded Ford Focus.

Did you do that leaving the Whiskey River Saloon before Oakdale?

And...oh yeah.....buggy time!

wa4x4 · « **Reply #9 on:** Dec 27, 2005, 07:30:34 PM »

Dude, that sucks...a little tipsy perhaps? 12,500 for just the pole no DUI fines or anything? Is that with lawyer fees?

you got a DUI?! thats all bad... nothing i hate mroe than people driving drunk... i have nothing against driving, but do not get behind the wheel of a 2 ton chunk of metal and glass

glad you are ok, and hopefully you will eanr from this.....

i can only be such a jerk now about it because although i have never had a dui, i have learned the hard way about where and when to drive and paid the severe consequences of my actions, am still paying for it.....

MiniSimp · « **Reply #13 on:** Dec 27, 2005, 09:39:22 PM »

Easy fellas!
Nowhere in his posts does it say he got a DUI.
Sometimes

just happens.

Seriously Duffil, if you need any help or parts let me know.

You are right Mini, KYOTA brought up the DUI, but Duffil never said he was charged with one.

Duffil · « **Reply #15 on:** Dec 29, 2005, 02:01:15 PM »

Thanks Mini and MWM...rumors, sheesh. Reckless driving, but no DUI.

MiniSimp · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 29, 2005, 02:04:32 PM »

glad to see you're ok

bummer about the truck and the $$ though $I\'m Down$

I've got a hood you can have if you're planning on rebuilding the truck

well, once with the fender, and we think it hit the front of the truck when it snapped and fell over.

Duffil · « **Reply #24 on:** Dec 29, 2005, 06:23:30 PM »

I dunno if ill part it. there's not much good that I don't want, Im keeping the 3rds, and the engine/trans/tcase. the rear axle might go, I'm looking at an IFS rig.

red · « **Reply #25 on:** Dec 30, 2005, 09:19:06 AM »

if ur frame is not bent then u could rebuild the front end for almost nothing. i just ordered the ENTIRE front end for my nissan pickup, fenders, hood, bumper, and radiator for 250 bucks, plus another 260 in shipping. looks like ur damaged parts are the same plus a new oil pan.

Hey Duffil I would like to apologize for helping to spread that DUI thing, I know that rumors can really effect what people think of you and I did not what to be the reason for that, not that anyone thinks any less of you but I have been on the receiving end of a few rumors like this and it sucks but luckily the people on Marlin are way cooler about it.

Duffil · « **Reply #27 on:** Dec 31, 2005, 06:43:01 AM »

no worries, brah! I appreciate that you have the balls to apologize.
