Default Damn Dent

Today we got hit with our first big snow storm of the season here in Maine, so me, my brother and friend (who owns my previous 2nd generation Ram) went out to go play in the snow. After about an hour of toying around in 4-Low I was getting ready to leave and all of a sudden my truck dropped down literally three feet into a big ditch. Felt my whole driver side tire slam down and my front end hit. Fortunately I had a chain on my bed and my brother pulled me out, but ****, I found I have two big dents in my low valence. I don't know if they will be able to be pulled out. I have officially exhausted my desire to go off roading with the truck in the snow...

That's why you should drive somewhere you know the landscape lol. So the snow doesn't hide potential tragedy like this.


Not trying to parent you and preach, just making an observation lol. Nice looking truck man

Warranty covers things that were completely your fault?

I thought it was just for stuff that [uncontrollably] goes wrong?

I was going a good 5mph. I'm actually pretty familiar with that particular area because I usually do most of my playing around there but obviously not enough to anticipate that. I guess it's just one of those things you miss about having a truck lifted up high, had I had a 5" lift with some 35" tires my beak would have probably just missed hitting the ground. My driver side fell down so deep I could hardly open my own door. If I end up keeping this truck longer than I anticipate I would definitely love to give this truck a lift comparable to the lift that was on my 2nd generation Ram because I really enjoy playing around off road every now and then.
