Well yesterday was one of the worst days I've ever had. I crashed my truck. I honestly don't know if it is gonna make it through this....it's pretty bad.
Before anyone assumes anything.....I'm not looking for sympathy. I know I ****ed up and now I have to pay for it. I'm mostly just writting this in hopes I will feel alittle better getting my feelings out.
Basically here's what happend....I was pulling out onto the road and some one else was pulling out on the opposite side of the street at the same time pretty much. I gave it some gas not realising I was going through a puddle. So anyways...the truck gets really sideways. I correct it back in the other direction. It starts sliding in the other direction and thats where the truck wanted to go cause it just kept heading that way and there wasn't a damn thing I could do to stop it. It basically slid around 180 degrees, slammed into a curb, and flipped onto it's side. I'm perfectly fine, I was wearing my seatbelt as always, but the truck isn't doing so good.
When the truck hit the curb....it messed up both driver side wheels. The frame is bent to hell....front fender is all jacked up. It will need a new bed. I'm not sure if the cab is salvagable or not....it isn't bad but it seems to be tweaked just barely. suprisingly all the cladding on it is still good....Engine still works fine....nothing is really messed up other than frame/body stuff.
The best part of the whole situation is that I just spent $1600 on a backhalf with ladder bars and a 9 inch housing for it....which just arrived today..... :roll:
I'm so mad at myself right now. I put all that time/money/effort into my truck and then I go and throw it all away. I'll update you guys on what I'm gonna do with it. I haven't figured out if I wanna try and rebuild this thing or just part it out, and buy another vehicle. I didn't even look at the truck since yesterday till about 20 minutes ago because it makes me absolutely sick to see it. I seriously about threw up.
Either way....I enjoyed the hell out of that truck. It was my first vehicle and it has many memories tied up in it. I'm glad I had it for at least as long as I did even if it means I'll have to part with it soon. I just always see threads like this on the internet and I never thought I would be typing up one of these one day.......
