What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?

I have had better day's.
I had only four 1/2" welds on each spring perch, apparently that was not enough. I had to hit the brakes harder than I wanted to and broke the welds, spun the rear diff pulling out the rear DS, messing up the new yoke, taking out the cross joint. It was a temp thing until I installed the new leaf-springs. Only the second time it has been on the end of a hook. This was all my fault for cutting corners, I should have it back on the road late today but not before I burn in those perchs.

And I've done that before.... After my accident I didn't realize the hood shouldn't clamp shut, when up the road on a beer run, well the hood flew up, destroyed the hood and hinges, but didn't break the glass
