x2!!!

 

Great build and awesome wheeling pics!

 

After a good day of wheelin yesterday, on the drive home this happened.




Long story short, narrow dirt road, heavy dust, blind turn, vehicles coming up, I was hugging the right when I hit a hole which launched my truck off the road and into a tree. Drove it out and home. Body is ˟˟˟˟ed, but everything else is ok.



Looks like I'll be swapping my extra cab body onto this frame this winter. Maybe link it in the process.

 

That sucks. Glad no one was hurt.

 

Time to toob it out!

Oh. Yeah. Glad your ok!

 

That ain't buffing out.
Bummer deal , adds character.

 

Yeah, it could've been a lot worse. Glad the tree saved it from rolling.

 

So whats the game plan? Is the cab fixable?

 

I really haven't had much time to do anything. I'm thinking about trying to fix the cab the best I can and throw a windshield in. But I'm also thinking of just tearing it all down and swap the drive train over to the extra cab. That'll be a good winter project. I just wish there were more hours in a day!

 

I have my old truck in the garage. I'll see if I can link it in the process of swapping parts over. Nothing fancy, 3 link front and 3 link rear. I don't really want to move the tank and I still want to have a bed. Hopefully I can have it done by next spring!

 

I'll have to keep an eye on this. Sounds like some more cool stuff in the future ...

 

That busted A-pillar looks like mine did after my wreck..

Keep her going, man! She'll always take care of you

 

Did you repair it?

At this point I'm pretty dead set on building up the extra cab. If it wasn't almost winter, I'd just remove the windshield and wheel it.

 

Gotta love finding deals on craigslist. 40" mtr's for $100
They're in really good condition for being the older style mtrs.

 

100 bones! daaauuummmm

 

I know, they were on CL for a week too! I can't believe they lasted that long.

 

Jeez, man! $100 is a STEAL!

I took a forklift to the A-pillar and bent it out far enough to put a new windshield in.. I'll try and find a picture

 

Here she is with the door off after the wreck

 

And forklift action bending it out

 

Hell yeah, that's a good idea. I do have a forklift at work. hmm
