That sucks Joel. I cant check my truck now but will try to get some pics up later

 

Are you going to this one.

 

Sucks about your truck. Yes, they're pretty even top to bottom, the line of the bed should follow the line of the cab pretty evenly.

 

Okay cool. Here are some pictures. I didn't get many, was just so heated at the time.

Here is the front of the car that got sandwiched:



Here is the crappy shot of my truck that I took:

 

Hard to tell but it doesn't look like a hard hit

 

Yes Billy, I will be there.

Thinking of hosting it at Rausch but I'm getting a little tired of Rausch (green trails anyway).

Any other, more local parks anyone knows about that are good to host a meet at?

 

Well, great. There is about 1/4" - 1/2" difference from top to bottom. Also, left to right is different as well....

 

Lol

 

If the bed is racked, you should be able to stand back and tell visually. The tolerances on these trucks are far from perfect when they roll off the factory floor. That hit doesn't look bad, how hard did you get hit? The only way for the bed to move would be for it to break or the frame bent.

 

Wow that blows. Maybe the bed shifted and the frame isnt bent. Have you slid under to look at it.

 

Is there any wiggle room in the bed bolt holes that maybe it could have shifted

 

That's true also although it shouldn't be able to tip front to back even if the bolts are loose.

 

Might have snapped a bed bolt

 

Okay, I'll let my blood cool down and go take a better look at lunch time. Will post findings/ better photos then. I've just read around here that minor fender benders have equaled bent frames. The guy behind me hit me pretty hard, the cross member in front of the radiator got bent back into the radiator and the radiator crushed in about 2". He got a tow.

The guy that started the whole mess was in an early 2000s Buick Lesabre. Basically a brick on wheels, no brakes, I'd say a good 25 mph. Guy behind me hit me once hard then again.

Cop wouldn't release me the info of the Lesabre gentleman that kindly spent the whole time on his phone so that I couldn't ask for his info personally. I was afraid I would knock his teeth in anyways. Now I just have to wait for the police report to get his insurance info and get the ball rolling.

 

So lesaber hit the Chrysler. Chrysler hit you. You move forward. Lesaber hits Chrysler again after Chrysler bounces off of you. And Chrysler hits you a second time? Fuck kinetic energy and the transfer of momentum.

I would have demanded his info. Take his phone away if you have to. That's incredibly rude, especially after ruining 2 other vehicles!

If he ignored me, I'd have grabbed this and asked him to talk for a second


Nothing like a good axe murder on a Friday morning

 

Joel, did you get hit in MA or NH?

 

Dude, I'm right there with you. It was heat of the moment thing. The whole time I was just so worried about my truck, checking everything over on it. It still smells new... You always think of things you should have done after the fact.

NH, right in front of Merchants/ Auto Zone on 3 in Hooksett.

 

I always go for the info first. What happened to your vehicle already happened. You need to make sure you don't get screwed by insurance.

Might I recommend an off road plate bumper? Lmao. For the cost of a new OEM bumper painted to match, it'll only be a few $100 more

 

That's actually a good thing. My co-worker lives in NH but got into an accident in MA and she found out there are some really screwy laws when it comes to transfer of info between MA troopers and NH. She's still dealing with it but it's a mess.

 

I wonder if you could make the tacobox cable operated? I don't want to cut up my interior if I don't have to
