    Parts and great instructional videos.

    There's also how FAST you can get help, too. I was chatting with someone from Mobtown when I was having a little difficulty with their clamp system. That was one job I'm REALLY glad I did myself, I don't think a shop would have taken the time to do it right.

    It would be fixed.

    My '08 Tundra was wrecked very similar. Its got 100k on it now, so I've been shopping for my next project.

    There really is only one way for the vehicles to go back together.

    Nothing I don't think.

    I made a comment in another thread about hitting 60 following a tricked out JK in Moab, I found the video clip and was going to post it - but didn't know where to.

    Stock TRDORs do just fine in the sand!
    :burnrubber:

    ...and ya know, for ALL the bitching I see on this forum about the "Turd Gens", I freakin' LOVE my truck. It goes everywhere, the tech package is absolutely sick, it's powerful enough and gets decent mileage - what's NOT to like?

    Up at 430 again on a day off. Had to spend 5 hours in the hospital last night because some little punk bitch decided to smash into the back of our Venza with my 19 month old and wife who’s due Thursday in the car.

    After the required 4 hours of observation on unborn, he’s still happy as a pig in shit; got a bit of cushioning in there. My year and a half Old was yuking it up with the emt’s so they decided he was good on scene. Car is likely toast.
    I got out of the car after checking on wife and lil man and went toward the offender like a WTF are you doing only to find it was some little 20yo punk girl caked in makeup scared shitless so I retreated to be with wife and my boy. There was a witness that really laid into her because she was driving like a fucking moron for a while and we just happened to be endgame for that.

    I wanted her to be transported by ambulance from the scene and she insisted on going home and calling her OB; we were only a couple miles from home. OB says she should’ve come right to the hospital after to get observation started. She’s more stubborn than I am. Beyond happy that everything ended up okay so my rage doesn’t have to kick in.

    Bags didn’t pop but the dash is lit up like a Christmas tree with airbag light on (pass says turned off) and seatbelt lights on even when they’re buckled.

    Cars can be replaced and I would never wish harm upon anyone who was part of an honest accident.

    Cops said she was likely texting.

    Just happy that everyone is ok, insurance can figure out the rest. Luckily Wifey is home til maternity leave is over and we don’t need to go many places.

    Thanks for the love fellas

    Relieved everybody's OK. Last thing y'all need is a stressed out banged up Lady who's expecting. Vensa's aren't all that tough, especially in rear end collisions. Stupid distracted drivers!

    Smaller one probably won’t get hot enough to make real sliders. Get one with enough power to grow into! A good grinder will be essential along with a plethora of other welding specialty tools.

    MIG, easier to learn, nicer welds.

    QFT!

    Glad everybody’s OK!
    She was probably messing with her phone. Don’t like to stereotype but a friend had a head on semi vs sedan in front of his house. 18-20yo kid gets out and admits he was checking his phone! A lot of them think they can devide their attention still drive.
