Your first scratch/dent?

Oh they woulda saved me

 

black ice: keeping the planets driving talent level in check since the invention of the wheel. that shit is just down right skeery!

 

My step mom backed into mine and put a nice scratch and busted my tail light. I only had the truck 5 days

 

When I first got it with 5100's & then Saw Coilovers & TC UCA Suspension. I off-roaded it much harder than my Kings now. LOL

I scrapped up my front bumper on the left side and left fender flare. Scrapped up the back chrome rear bumper a bit. Some pinstripes from mother nature. scratched up my Konig 16's.

Then on the Freeway, some misc object decided to come from the other side of the freeway and strike my truck on the left fender, to the hood, then windshield, and then roof.


Full front end fix & repaint! ! !

Bought mine certified used w/ no damage back in August. 10k miles later...no damage. Keeping my fingers crossed. That is until I get 5100s and tires...then it's gonna go downhill from there when she actually gets put into some sticky situations, not that the wal-mart/home depot parking lots aren't some of the scariest places on earth.

 

I had 80 miles of it on I-80 into Park City UT. I had a highway patrol on my ass cause I was speeding, I watched him go into the ditch. One way of getting out of a ticket I guess.

 

don't worry you'll get used to it my truck has been shit kicked so much since i bought it

 

Whats up Jesse, this is Jesse

 

Thanks, guys...y'all have made me feel so much better about my truck. It was pristine until about 16K miles, when it was attacked by a vicious mailbox, which dented my bumper, cracked my driver's side tail light, and put a ding in my tailgate. I felt like such a dumbass...then I found out I'm not the only one...stuff happens...I'm too much of a perfectionist, I guess.

It's a TRUCK, not a piece of fine china, right???

 

Tilt trailer hitch was not locked properly, drove for 10-15 mles with just the hitch riding on top of the ball with a big spendy heavy chest freezer on the trailer. Got to the area for unload and started to wheel the freezer to the back of the trailer,,trailer tips back,,trailer hitch rises up and gouges a big nasty deep gash in the tailgate by the release handle. End of freezer gets the corner bashed in because it was hanging off the end of the trailer slightly. 7500 miles on the truck.

Word to the wise,,always latch that trailer hitch yourself,,don't let someone else do it for you. This could have been much worse, I just got lucky per say.

 

backing into a parking space yesterday morning at 0350 and did not see the pole behind me(was not looking at the rearveiw mirror). I cracked the black piece in the middle of the bumper. Small 1 1/2 in crack but still ouch.

 

no i'm jesse

 

Well, Im Jesse James

 

my '05 got its first at 74k at the 2010 baja 1000. had my sway bar drop link break and take out my cv boot. used the hi lift to lift it to remove the broken link, was lifting when the jack slipped pinned my nephews fingers (gloved) between the door and jack. btw the we were able to find a shop with the boot and a tire shop to repair it. the cost $20.00! Nephew didn't recieve any injuries from the incident he was the navigator in the cops racing 1203 buggie. DO NOT HOLD YOUR HI LIFT FROM THE TOP!

 

Well, seeing all these other incidents of early smashes and bashes makes me feel a little less sad about my own misadventure.

Stupid trees.

Less than 3500 when this happened...
