That'll buff right out, then spray it with plasti dip, good as new.

That really sucks, good luck on the new ride search.

Was that a storm or an amateur tree trimmer?

It happened at work. I was walking outside and the while d*** place started shaking. I opened the door and it there was a 4' trunk oak tree on the truck. No storm, wind or anything it just decided it wanted to lay down. Insurance is going to cover it and my boss is going to pay the deductible. Not sure what I'm going to get yet but definitely full sized if a truck. I out grew the Dak with so many tool cases in the back seat. I might go car-less for a while though and save up.. I'm in college and the bus system here is amazing so getting to class in easy and everywhere that's somewhere has a bus stop.

Pierrejoly, the switch was just to turn on the wireless receiver for my winch. Nothing fancy.






The thing started up fine believe it or not. Put it in 4LO, threw it in reverse, and drove it up onto a trailer. From the passenger seat of course. And the front drivers side wheel doesn't really turn.

If anyone wants to buy some tow hooks (the nice Mopar ones), a Bluetooth Kenwood receiver, Superchips Flashpaq, or BFG AT KO2's 275/70/17s that are less than a month old hit me up lol the insurance company won't pay for those.
