3Pooches version 3.5

Same here! I have a list of things I want dibs on lol

 

Sub'd

 

I have some front shocks and springs you can have if you want to pull the kings. they have 220k miles on them, but insurance doesn't know that

 

See @crashdb everyone wants your parts!

 

ok hear me out:

straight trade the 220k mile front shocks and springs for the kings?

 

@crashdb Are those bronze methods 17’s by any chance?

 

Withdraw that inquiry SIR!

 

Damn I opened the floodgates, I'm sure I'll let you guys get in on what I don't claim...just messing around

Dave, I do have my OEM OR shocks and coilovers if you don't have yours just let me know (though I would then do need something to stand in when mine are being serviced/revalved)!

 

Meet up at Bald Top Brewing Co. (Madison, VA) around 1:15pm, they open at 12 and it’s a little over an hour away from your shop. As soon as we’re ready, hit Blakey Mt and then head to the property (45mins NE) near Culpeper.

The plot of land we’re going to doesn’t have a cabin (yet), so no running water/electricity. We do have a fire pit (with a grate for cooking dogs/burgers/brats), a trail & few small obstacles in the works.

@crashdb, I’ll shoot you a text sometime this week with a pin to the entrance. Since the lot is land locked it doesn’t have an address.

If the weathers not to awful, we’ll camp and have a fantastic time. Maybe even hash out ideas for future obstacles in the morning.

 

This is my plan: Right now the police have the truck. They're doing their thing with it. I have no clue how long it'll take. From there it'll have to be towed to the bodyshop. I'm hoping I can get it to the bodyshop without the insurance company knowing. Go there, pull as much crap off as I can, then call insurance and tell them the truck is ready for review. I have no idea what the body shop will let me get away with. They're a pretty cool shop, but I have a feeling that pulling suspension will be a no-no. IF they're okay with it, I have coilovers and shocks I can throw on to replace the Kings. So thanks dudes.

Right now I AM positive I will have my off-road set of wheels and tires to sell (with one new tire!), the fender liners from Gear Tech or whatever it's called, and some OEM parts. Idiot stuff like the entire rear drum brake assembly or the OEM spare.

I wish I could pull everything off, but that's the chance we take by dumping all of this money into our trucks. Learned this lesson the hard way when my Mustang was totaled.

Too soon? Yeah, I don't know. If this conversation had happened this weekend, maybe. I was taking the whole thing pretty hard, but I'm getting better about it. I'm more worried about the other guy. The truck is just a thing. And if it is totaled it could work out better for me anyway. It gets paid off and I'm not saddled with that. The equity I have in it is more than enough to pay cash for a 2000s LX470 or Land Cruiser. I can trail that and be less worried about breaking stuff.

 

Any update on the other guy involved in the accident?

 

No. No one can tell me anything because of HIPPA or whatever.

 

Sorry to have pushed the limit here Dave, just putting my mouth where it doesn't belong...

 

Nah you're fine. It takes much, much more to get me going.

 

Hopefully he's OK.

 

Getting older and cheating is the win.

 

You Guys have fun. I’m on call this weekend.

 

I’m quite jealous of his cheating

 

Hells yeah!

 

Ditto. May have to move in next door.
