It sounds to me that beno doesn't have comprehensive so he is on his on for the repairs.

Exactumundo....

Anyway, I don't do windows, I don't do dishes and I don't deal with insurance people if I don't have to.

Besides, I have good access to tons of good scrap metal and fabrication tools to re-make this rig as I see fit.
 
Onur, I am very happy to see you alive and well. Love your plans with the truck, looking forward to it. I have flipped before I got the 80 but not on the highway and certainly not on that speed. Hope every thing works out as planned.

Best Wishes..

:cheers:
 
Glad your ok, can't wait to see the rebuild if you do it.
 
Onur, glad to see you still breathin'. And your puppy dog too.

Every day is a ******* blessing, man.

That may be true for you, being the supreme being of your religion you can bless what or whoever you wish...


Get that head checked out even if you don't feel bad now, it's a good idea...

Well, even though it is a loss..you gained a lot now that you can pretty much wheel the heck out of that rig and not care about body panels at all. Once you get started, things should all come together great.
 
Glad you're alright... the human body is an amazing thing and so is a dog!;~)
I'm with the rest of the gang, make sure you're alright...
We Love our TLC's but they can be fixed/replaced...

Onur, Just saw the post and glad to hear your doin' well. I really can't imagine rolling a rig like this. I'd s*** myself and then cry. Good luck buddy.
 
I know it is not too late lend some more support. I am glad to hear you and the pup are fine. I guess with all the pics of other rigs it should read ih8snow...
Take care.
 
Good to hear you and your dog are alright. I remember the first time at a Columbus Cruiser meet on July 9th 2005 (while attending school in Dayton) that I saw your rig. So i figured I'd post up this picture for you that I took, way back before all your mods. She's come a long way.. but still has more to go. Good Luck :cheers:

Onur,

Never met ya, but always look forward to your insights and comments. Glad you're with us, and, to echo the other 50 or so posts...make sure the head gets a good check up...just go to your general practitioner.

And let us all know what he finds, and how he did it...so we can weigh in and second guess his methods and diagnosis! :grinpimp:

So to add some levity:

What's yellow and sleeps three?

An ODOT pick-up truck!

(One of my favorite 'clean' jokes while living in that god-forsaken land known as Ohio!)

Good luck, take it easy and don't go takin' a leave of absence from MUD!
 
Glad ya dint hurt your noodle too bad. The rig doesnt look all that bad for flipping it. Hell It looks about 4-5 times straighter than my DD/trail rig and I still log in at 350 miles a week on it....Glad your doing good. I'd check the internals and keep on driving.

You'll grow to love the dents...You think im kiddin? it will happen...

Ride On man....

Don't know how much help ill be but if ya need some Im here...Got an 80 series hood if ya need it.

Did you go see doctor yet? You should...

Is your black or dark green? Can't really tell.
 
Hope you're alright, it might take a few days for some of the soreness to set in. Much as we love our 80s, most of them will be replaced eventually. Of course, so will we, but hopefully our trucks won't be the most significant memories we have by then.
Onur,
Now you get to go through life thinking
"I'm already dead" White Zombie thoughts.
When I returned from the hospital after totalling my 80, I kept wondering if this was maybe some kind of afterlife, or a second chance that would only last a short time, all kind of crazy thoughts. I don't remember my accident, and wonder what thoughts I might have had, decisions I might have made in those moments. I still have wierd feelings about it all when I think about it. I've totalled a few other cars, been in some severe accidents, none of those left me feeling odd.

Sorry to hear what happened, now just try to relax and calm your nervs because thats the hardest part. Get better!
 
Glad you're O.K. man!
 
My man Beno. I've been out working and did not see this earlier, word of mouth by Clint. I am glad to hear you are okay, the puppy dog also. If there is anything I can do, ANYthing, by all means give a call.

Craptacular!

Good to hear you and the woof are doin' well. That might convince me to put my sway bars back on. Especially with all this Colorado snow!
