Unhappy My EC4RJ'03 damage....

Ok, well the first photo don't really show what happened, but I took one hell of a hit on my slider that bent my frame rail where the front mount is welded on and banged it into my rocker crushing it up and even under the door edge, you can see the fender is out of alingment and it moved the "A" pillar forward slightly to enlarge the door gap.. Oh, and I trashed another dang flare! (But, WooHooI have a spare one for that side!) You can also just barely see the crack neat the top of the flare, it cracked and broke in 2 places leaving 2 splits about 8" long.

Oh yea.. a water hole took out my alternator as well.. :pat:

Man that sucks, but you should tell the truth on how you got it.

Trying to make people think you did that wheeling just is not right. We all know you did that trying to power out of the campsite!!!!

That sucks Lee, but I bet with your expertise, you will have it back to like primo shape before to long.

At least the sliderz were doing their job though for the most part.

Bwahaa.. Do you know the roof of my camper is still covered with that mud that was kicked up trying to pull my camper out of that dang mud hole... For those of you not there, I had to make a running start in 4lo to get my camper back onto the road! Sad part is that was the most mud I got on the truck all weekend seeing as how the Friday rain washer her clean and I had to wait for my new alternator all day Saturday!

You know, I had no idea about the commotion I caused with everyone around untill my wife told me you all were like cheering and such.. LOL.. I was embarassed the truck didn't pull right out.. I didn't think it was all that deep or gooey

Yea, it was even better then that trailer trash lady raising hell with Cornbread the night before. The line that summed it all up was when someone said, "hey, do you kiss your brother with that mouth?"

I am really looking forward to wheeling with all you folks real soon! I do vote for less rain. I can't believe I traveled all that way and missed out on the Bunny Dave camp fire stories.

Just how much wood did the Russians steal anyway??

I don't know how much wood they stole or really for that matter where the heck it came from, but I think there is a barn missing a wall somewhere now.. You think that is funnny, you should hear them spotting each other in Russian.. Now that is a sight...
