well. . .good news on the yoda. . .I got the trans in last night, put her on the ground, but left the back tires in the air to run her through the gears to make sure all is good. . .droped her fully on the ground and took her around the block. . .all is well. except for a dead battery[:@]

anyway, on to the one I screwed up BIG TIME. like a dummy I accidently grabbed the brake release on beasty while in the drive way. my drive has a diecent grade to it and well. . .this is what happened, pictures will speak for themselves, also Lorie took picks of the smoke cloud I made digging out. . .this is a good case to get new tires. also, the drag link is bent up pretty good from what I can tell, hopefully no other dammage.

David, check your PM if you didnt get notified. . .I desperately need your help.

dddaaaammmmnnnn dood ! sorry to see that. Safety is always important. I bet you'll use some blocks next time ! At least it's not the engine that got hurt :-) You can still sled pull with a scratch.

 

yea, it isnt a beauty contest

I tried 3rd 4lo and that didnt work, not enough wheel speed/traction. . .3rd 4hi and gunning it did the job.

I just hope david has the parts I need to get beasty back on the road. not only that I'll probably get them to go ahead and get my leveling kit and bilstien's in while it is there.

BTW, the drivers side step bumper is pushed down a bit as well. . .I just noticed that when I moved it out of the drive way just now

 

That Bites pretty hard man, On the brite side, We can use it in the woods now this fall to scout out innocent little deer or whatever else runs out in front of us .

 

that sucks and i thought my truck had it rought.

 

Sorry to see that man, I don't what to say... ouch

 

Man that suuuuckks drew. I'll be the first to say it, that'll buff right out. It looks like your truck gave as good as it got--was that wall cracked before?

 

Don. . .there are plenty of Deer that run behind my house. . .Ive been thinking about getting a cross bow so i can have some bambi burgers

also, I just got of the phone with David 'parts/service' and he's hookin me up with the steering. as far as the door, I'm pretty sure an orbital buffer will work good. . .[8D]

anyway, that wall was rather stout, after I hit it lorie was able to pull it down with just her bare hands. but Ive had plans on reworking that area for a while. . .guess it gives me a good reason to now.

 

It'd be a shame if a couple of those bricks accidently fell on your hood and the insurance had to buy you an srt 10 hood for it.

 

Damn bro, sorry to see the damage.
