That sucks dude
Heres a post from the local newspaper a couple days ago just to show how the much truck drivers get a bad rap from numb nuts like this below :rolleyes:


"A Brooklyn trucker looking for Route 95 found himself thwarted by the same low railroad underpass twice, backing his big rig onto the same lawn twice, police said.

At 8:15 a.m. on June 4, Patrolman Elliot Gray was dispatched to Sandy Ridge-Mount Airy Road on a report of a tractor-trailer on a lawn. He found that Victor A. Sheppard, 33, had apparently disregarded the height-restriction sign and, when confronted with a railroad underpass, backed onto the lawns of 219 and 217 Sandy Ridge-Mount Airy Road, putting ruts in the lawn and taking out a mailbox, police said.

He was charged with careless driving and failure to exhibit his registration. Because he had to deal with a $250 Phillipsburg warrant, Sheppard followed the police car to headquarters.

Gray allegedly told him how to get onto Route 29 from there, so he could proceed south to find the interstate.

But at 10:30 a.m. Gray relived the 8:15 episode, finding Sheppard in the same fix in the same place. Sheppard told police that his GPS had led him astray. This time Gray charged him with failure to observe a height restriction."

Any dangers of driving on the highway in that condition? Probably a decrease in MPG since the loss of aerodynamics. It's thankfully not leaking any gasoline at the neck. (I think because I replaced parts of the neck with rubber hose so it flexes a little better)
 
It The LC drivable? can the driver's door open?

How is it that no one has mentioned the option of making this a dedicated trail rig?

Insurance will give you little for it, that I know, but it's not to say it's not worth hanging on to, right?

Depending on what sort of shape it is in, it is likely work more for parts than insurance will offer you for it.

I bet it looks fine on the other side. https://forum.ih8mud.com/images/smilies/clap.gif

best of luck.
