    Damn that sucks man.
    I love the color. Always had a softspot for purple trucks lol.

    Really no damage other than that? That's wild considering the wheeling basically laying flat horizontally on the ground

    The fact that the UCA, Upper Ball Joint, and Spindle weren't bent is amazing.
