well as some of you guys may recall i got into an accident about a week and a half ago. Well after dropping her off at the shop last night they jumped on it today. So here is the damage report, apparently my driverside tie rod is really loose and needs replaced and because of it thee truck was pullin to the right and caused some uneven tire wear. According to the shop the tire wear is not new so the tie rod was probably goin out the door soon and due to the accident it pushed it a little to far. hopefully insurance will coverr the cost for the repair. The new bumper cover got a coat of primer today and as long as everything sticks and doesnt crack it will be painted tomorrow. Guess the shop has had some horror stories of things not sticking to some aftermarket covers so fingers and toes crossed. If all goes well itll be home thursday night looking ******* sweet and driving like normal. I cant take driving this **** pile ford for to much longer!!!

You're telling me, the guy at the rental place was talking about getting a new ram to replace mine with and the guy comes back in a ****. I might be giving them a call later on because the brakes feel like **** and studder to a stop.

Oh well...

Looks like it wont be done til tomorrow morning. The tie rod was a special order and it wont be put on til later this afternoon. The guy says it looks killer with the bumper cover though.

Sucks that it will take another day but it will probably be well worth it when you see it with that cover on.
