Wish I had a picture of the ford escape it ripped in half. It was totaled. Only reason I didn't drive mine was it ruptured belts on my NEW tires.

Lady pulled right out in front of me...locked them up and avoided a complete head on. Lady states "I thought I had plenty of time"... considering I locked up the brakes, swerved, and still got a piece of you...im gonna say you didn't.

Ugh people are so dumb. One thing I will say, every wreck I've seen a Ram in, they always destroy the other car, and aren't too bad themselves

welp...sitting at the body shop awaiting an insurance adjuster...guess i'll be getting cozy with my crew cab f150 from enterprise for a few weeks.

Shop is willing to take the insurance $ and then fix it however i see fit...we'll see how it shakes out....kinda excited about the fiberwerxs install, and maybe even an nfab bumper.
thank god i wasn't at fault...lol

Makes sense, didn't see that. Had the same thing happen on the passenger, drove it an hour and a half back to house so I feel your pain on the truck getting boogered up.

Get that lift if there's enough :naughty:
Click to expand...

Already crossed my mind.lol the fiberwerx allow 35's with no lift. 37 with only a level. I dont want some 6 inch monster lift, but something with some capability would be nice. Total bill will dictate if its a total clone runner or not. I guess if it tweaked the knuckle or A arm there would be no reason not to try and find an arm kit.

Careful, you hang around Derek to long you'll have an LED pod anywhere you can get a solid mounting point, and still, you'll be fabbing mounts to get lights in the not so solid area.
