The story behind my bent frame and broken coilovers

Sorry to hear about the carnage. I had a similar thing happen to me two weekends ago, but happened at much lower speed. I lucked out and the impact only pushed my tire up into the corner of my steel bumper and cut up some of the tread blocks at the corners. Good luck with the repairs!

 

Here's a link to the 2nd Gen frame reinforcement kit. Awesome story!! Hope everything gets worked out.

key areas:

inspect your core support and upper radiator support. And inspect where the lower arms mount to the frame to make sure there are no cracks or tearing like what I had going on years ago..

this sums up both driver and passenger sides, front and rear mounts

 

@jvill4 this is what happens when you jump your truck. I am really sorry @ProForce .... if I can help out let me know.

 

@ProForce wow... I'm glad to hear no one got hurt. (except for the truck).

 

Thanks Oscar. We all thought it was hilarious and laughed all the way home. It stopped being so funny the next morning when i realized i could see from driver side to passenger side through a 3" gap between cab and bed. I can fit my arm in between the bed and cab lol. But ill recover. Accidents happen. The hardest part is that im trying to save every penny for a wedding and this just sets everything back.

 

Will insurance cover the damages?

 

I think they would total the truck.

 

Unless i lied, probably not since i was offroad. Idk if they would total it or not, but considering im getting the frame straightened back, boxed and reinforced, and repaired my coilovers all for 1 grand so far, id rather not report it anyways with a $500 deductible it wouldnt make sense. Now if the axle is bent im screwed. Upgrades are easily 2k and im sure id want to regear and lock it while im in there haha so that will kill me. I wont know for another week and a half though on that until after the frame is fixed

 

Haha even know this shit sucks really really really bad, its things like this that make you laugh again

 

As long as you can keep your sense of humor...

 

I survived $12,545 in damage to my 06 caused by a tire on the interstate, so this too shall pass...

 

Damn dude, that really sucks but thank God no one got hurt.

Keep us posted!

I was expecting to see a much harder impact than that. Sorry for you and your truck. Seems like everything needs reinforced on these trucks.

 

OP. have you tried to buff it out?

 

Coulda been worse...
