Yesterday blew.

Guy came into my lane and hit me head-on. I just hope this all get's sorted out. It's in the shop now, going to be quite the fix...

So hopefully this will give me a chance to get some bigger tires, flared fiberglass fenders, and a tube bumper... Anybody got any sites to find some good stuff?

Here she is...

Also, I'm digging Pat's stinger. So maybe something like this?

well one good thing is that first wheeling dent wont hurt so bad now!

wslytoy · « **Reply #2 on:** Apr 06, 2007, 08:44:39 PM »

hell, that ain't that bad..... it coulda been a lot worse. I'm guessing new radiator, core support, some frame work, new hood and possibly fenders, and a new bumper and grill? that's a light crash at best..... glad you're ok though.

The irony of the word "taco" after seeing the front of your truck amuses me. Accident are never any fun.

Could have certainly been worse...

Light crash yeah, but nearly a total. Truck is valued around 10K and the fix will be about 8K.

does $8000 include new fenders,hood, core support ,radiator,new frame, new grill, new headlights, and not to mention that weirdo in the spotted shorts

slabcs · « **Reply #6 on:** Apr 07, 2007, 01:19:11 AM »

Sure does, and that weirdo in the plaid shorts is yours truly.

Have you got anymore holes in that belt for you to use?

I know more about what type of underoos the guys at work wear than I care to know! At least your fenders are already flared! That'll save ya some $

did the airbags go ofF???

slabcs · « **Reply #9 on:** Apr 07, 2007, 04:44:43 PM »

Airbags didn't go off, I'm glad too because that would have hurt. Also it would have been a total if they had.

Good GOD! What a rip... How bad was the frame?

the worst day of my life.. God i will never forget when that happened.

THK Matt · « **Reply #12 on:** Sep 27, 2007, 01:41:18 AM »

definately take the insurance money and make into a serious truck.
fiberglass, TC front susp., stinger front, and some tight other mods... and 8K to fix that... is a TOTAL RIP OFF!

slabcs · « **Reply #13 on:** Sep 27, 2007, 02:14:05 PM »

I didn't go TC, it got wrecked right after new coilovers and upper a-arms and they didn't get messed up so I reused them. Ended up buying a new frame, did a frame swap and fixed it. Got new rims and tires, and blacked out everything that wasn't green. It's got allpro bumpers f&r now too.

fatt_matt · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 27, 2007, 06:42:47 PM »
