Calamity tacos build thread that was for a tacoma but now is for a ford! crazy times we are in!

ye ive seen a few sets for around 400 for a set of 4 so i could easily get a set for a decent price.

 

You don’t just swap the tires yourself? It’s not that hard

 

i hate doing it lol. i hate the tire spoons or forks what ever they are called lol so id rather just drop it off and get them balanced at the same time.

 

This is the way.

 

Lol yup I have looked into a tire changer for the house since we plan to have a few more bikes in the house lol.

 

Can't have anything nice I guess...

We were on our way to adventure palooza when a deer jumped out of the forest and got a split second to hit the brakes at roughly 60mph. Thankfully we were able to slow down enough to lessen the impact but still messed the truck up pretty good. The gf was suppose to drive it home after dropping me off but was shaken up and didn't want to drive it the 2 hours home with it damaged.


ATM this is what appears to be broken on the truck.

Grill is broken
Blue headlight shroud is broken on passenger side
Bumper is bent it seems to be angled odd now
Bumper plastic is broken
Hood is shifted to the passenger side
Passenger headlight is wiggly now
Trans oil cooler is bent and all the mounting hardware shattered it is now free floating
AC condenser is bent
Radiator looks bent but isn't leaking thankfully
Lots of plastic and some thin metal is bent/ broken behind the grill

 

It seems to have fared better than when @Tigerian hit one at 70 with his work truck. It wasn’t drivable and had to be towed

now you have an excuse to get a new grill and steel bumper with hoops!

 

Ya thankfully I saw it last second and this things brakes are really good lol

Haha that is true

 

Dude, that really sucks. I hope you're at least able to use the opportunity to add any modifications you were planning on as you fix it.

 

It really does! And I might try tbh.. I'm already looking at new tires and wheels lol (not related to the accident haha) so hopefully I can make it a bit nicer!

 

Fack Jacob, sorry to see that… maybe insurance can help with a new steel bumper?

 

lets be real guys. the truck is totally ruined. he's gonna trade it in for a Toyota

at least thats what history says lol

 

Idk bout that but that would be cool ya!

Lmao no no I also wouldn't even get a Toyota since they have nothing I want ATM lol

 

Dodge? So you can more dodging and ramming?

 

Personally never been a fan of Dodge lol

 

Dang, sorry. Seems like nobody was really hurt so that is good.

 

Nissan!

 

Lol I do like them and we went and test drove a few and ended up with the f150 lol

 

Correct nobody was hurt thankfully

 

The deer probably isn’t feeling too good
