The story behind my bent frame and broken coilovers

Jeff did mine on my old truck. No complaints. Tim obviously does amazing work though.

 

What did Insurance say ? Did you send em video?

 

ah ok.

just get some longer shackles, 1 so you have some rake and 2 to get more uptravel!

 

yeah. Those Icons arnt a full circle on the top plate so that happens. The rear looks bad. Ive boxed my frame and added hydrobumps so hopefully this wont happen. I thought this was going to be the out come when my wife got the truck airborn in death valley. Pretty sure my rear axle housing is bent.

 

That's why I don't let my woman drive the truck. She eats more curbs than anything

Unless you let her jump it lol

 

Mine wants a courthouse wedding.

 

We were doing 350 miles across death valley. she was driving. once and a while we would hit a dip. she kept slamming on the breaks when we entered the dip which made it worse. I explained she needed to break before the dip and not in it. so the next one she didn't brake cuz she didn't see it in time doing 50mph and she didn't want to brake in the dip. first time the truck when airborne. thought we were going to die. she was trying to keep up with @jberry813

 

I bet it was fun though

 

Oh we arent. Luckily we both feel strongly about the money being better spent elsewhere

Surprisingly i hit the jackpot and she wants something nice but still budget friendly. Like 5-10k tops which im finding is easier said then done. But we'd both rather go on an epic vacation then blow 25k on 1 night

 

Havent even bothered calling them. So far the repair bill isnt enough to bring them in on this

 

Ill hopefully know soon. May have a PM coming later today

 

I wouldn't tell them. If they get involved doesn't that necessarily mean that you will end up with a frame damage report on your carfax? You'll take a bigger hit when selling/trading than the prospective payout from insurance

 

If the OP doesn't need it I might be interested. What have you got?

 

Yotamasters may have an off-road (elocker) available. Though its missing 1 axle....it's on my truck

 

Damn dude. Sorry to hear.

 

Hahaha ill hit them up and see. I wonder how hard it is to get the elocker working on my truck

Thanks bud. Good to hear from you. Hope things are well

 

That must have been far worse than it looks in the video for it to have caused this.

 

have them talk to other ladys that have already done it. most will say they wish they saved the money. will be following to see how rebuild looks
