Had an oops moment on Dishpan in Big Bear this past weekend.

 

DANGIT, ...sorry man! I know, 'chicks dig body damage'... but I'm guessing you weren't necessarily 'happy' on this one ..... But, more importantly,... ARE YOU OK? My buddy almost lost his arm hitting the driver side once w/out his belt on.. Just wanna be sure you didn't get hurt, man!

 

It wasn't my proudest moment. But the way I see it is this: it was bound to happen to me eventually. My number was finally up.

I am fine. I was not injured at all. I had my seat belt on. When it started going past the point of no return I just kept both of my hands on the wheel and even started leaning away from the window.

It can be fixed.

 

EXCELLENT to hear! .... about you being safe, of course... not the carnage. And YEP, you'll get'r safe and repaired in no time, I'm sure.

 

X2! Sorry to hear about the flop, but definitely glad to hear that you're ok. Toyota's can be repaired/replaced, people can't. I'm sure you will have your truck back in action in no time!

 

Yeah Buddy!!

So I guess you never camoed it then?

 

Thanks guys. Thats the biggest thing I keep telling myself: trucks can be fixed and brought back, people can't.
It is all gooood.

No. As badass as a camo/ olive drab paint job may be, I just can't really stomach it at this point in the trucks life. Once I get everything fixed I will probably just have my dads friend touch up the paint with the stock color. I really like the color it is. Once I rattle can it, I can never go back.

 

flops suck, but its good to find the limits and not break anything major

 

Are you gonna be out at the Overland Expo this weekend? Their site says All-Pro is an exhibitor this year.

 

Nope. Jon and Sarah will be though.

 

New door is on.
Its going in the body shop tomorrow for A-pillar repair and windshield replacement.

 

Looks good, man! Hope they make quick/reasonable work of the rest

 

Time for a partial exo. Probably cheaper than fixing a raisinized cab

 

I was curious why you'd not made one up for yourself, Scoob.... Just wondering(the exo).... I was scoping out 4xinnovations yesterday and saw some stuff for yours that was exo looking? Seemed to have the doors as a part of it?

Anyway, post up pics when she's done! lol.

 

Just never got to it.
Though, now I am starting to look into it more and more. A friend of mine has a bender. I just need the tube and we can get on it. I will have to re-work the front bumper to tie supports up to it. I will probably end up canning the whole 4XI front bumper at that point, but we'll see.
I've been working on collecting parts for my SAS though. It's more important to me at this point.

 

A pillar is fixed!

 

Looking good man! I'm glad to see that you're getting her back together

 

nice whoever did that did a damn good job on the repair. Mind sharing who?

 

Thanks man! I can't let something like that little flop stop me!


Doesn't look like they have a website, but it was a local guy. They've done paint and body work for my boss Jon.

Haha with the way you wheel your rig, you're about the last person I would expect to let something like that stop you.
