The gay truck got AIDS

[dd113]

I am not sure if it will kill it though. I had it on the road for about 1.5 weeks. Just bought new tires, installed the Sirrus radio, was about to put the fridge in and then.....................




Horrible rainstorm, driving a bit too fast and slid off the road into the guy wire for a phone pole. It hit the PS fender right where it meets the lower valence. I did not think it was a very hard hit and I thought it just blew a tire. Called a tow and hauled it back to the shop. I took a look the next morning. Oh s***.

Tire blown
Wheel caved
New J spring bent
New L shock bent
Inner fender, outer fender, flair and valence all trash
Core support trash
Ft bumper trash
Front axle bent about 20' to the rear
PS trailing arm bent
Ft drive shaft bent
Punched a hole in the oil pan with the driveshaft
Punched a hole in the tranny pan with the driveshaft

I guess it is totaled a second time in 2 months.

If I can screw this thing up this bad on pavement I doubt it will do well with me driving it off road.

I bought a wrecked LX450 for parts so it will be back in a week or so.


Almost forgot, the new ARB bar, which would have prevented all of this damage, arrived the following afternoon.

Obviously bad Karma for you to drive anything with straight sheetmetal sir.

Is the phone pole guy wire O.K.?

 

[dd113]

Of course your mind went directly to the pole and yes; it is fine.

That sucks. Glad you and your pole (or somthing like that) are OK. However, as a professional in the medical field (many would argue that point), I think your gay truck already had AIDS to get that much damage in a small wreck - especially bending the front axle 20 feet! Sounds like you mighta bought "damaged goods"
Not to fret - treatment options are getting better all the time.
