Just an fyi this is going to be pretty chopped up worst than my other post.

So I went out wheelin almost got stuck in a HUGE hole that my buddy flooded his 04 hemi in. So I yanked him up the bank and than trying to leave on they way out, He was yelling tree tree. It has been ranning all day and the snow made HEAVY FOG! I didn't see the tree at all and plowed right into it. It was the end so it was shaped like a Y. Half of the tree when across the front of my truck than the other half went right for my steering. Took out the drivers side say bar. Uhhh its bad. He has pics. It took a shot at the tranny pan and the y pipe that is down there. No leaks in the tranny yet. No cel's. We called another guy went to my house and got a chain saw and cut the tree off. It drives but the wheel is off a good bit. Oh forgot to add it half unseated my drivers side coil spring. Good thing I don't use spacers.

My buddies hemi had a soak filter water in the box and up the tube. So his motor is done. I left him and 3 other guys trying to fix it. He got all pissed that I was leaving. But you know sorry dude there aint a thing I can do. You know. Its 200 ft from the road and up a hill that I would have to pull him up. With 3.55 no chance. Event with 4.56 and locker's it would be a fight.

I'm sure there is more but I just can't think of it.

There will be pics but not now. At like 4pm ill be home from work.

So I need a list off all steering parts that are under our truck's or should I try the 1 ton steering?

Lesson learned from this. Don't go off roading in fog so thick its hard to see the bumper.

 

time to upgrade

 

that really sucks man! sorry to hear. maybe you can find a donor 1ton to steal the parts from. im not familiar enough with the front end at this time to help you out. maybe it wont be as bad as you think....

 

^dude it took the aint say bar that goes to the axle and cut it clean. I hit it doing 20 trying to get a run on this hill.

 

your truck really likes trees

sorry to hear that , i never really do much offroading just because im afraid of doing that kinda stuff , just light duty just because of i have no lift and 3.55 gearing ,but i do have mud tires though

 

I can't even see my bumpers on a clear day.............

 

well if you were driving on a mirror...or a giant piece of stainless

 

That's kinda what I was thinking.
