So what happens when you get ready to take your truck out on its maiden run down the road and you go over it with a fine tooth comb to make sure everything is where it is supposed to be....well you miss one very important bolt and hit a tree. I forgot the bolt that holds the steering shaft on the steering box. I dont think ive ever felt so dumb for something in my life. The aftermath was I bent the front right part of the frame down and broke a wheel. The good news is its all fixed straightened and plated and I have new rims and stauns that I had just got. So all in all it wasnt the end of the world and my pride got hurt more than anything. Here are a few pics. I need to take some  of the plating and new front crossmember.

You can see where it bent the front down and cracked the frame and also where it caved a little.







Here is the new bling and I got the broken rims changed out for the new 15x12 and staun. The tire mounted on a 15x10 is on the left and the 15x12 on the right.
