Default Was in an accident the other day - no injuries

The other day I was sideswiped by the car driving next to me causing me to skid out of control into oncoming traffic. Thankfully no one hit me coming from the other direction but my truck is a bit damaged and so is the front end from coming to a stop by hitting a cement block wall. Their insurance is already taking care of everything for my repairs so hopefully I'll have my truck back in about a week or two. Pretty scary how much you can lose control in a blink of an eye. There was no way to correct the skid the truck was completely locked up into it and wouldn't react to anything I tried. Just had to go along for the ride and hope for the best lol.

Lol I know they totally imprinted onto her door like a saw. I can't wait to get it back. The body shop was really cool and let me choose different side steps since they need replacing. A mod I was planning on doing but now free haha.

Glad no one was hurt!


I would check your tires close for damage and flat spots. Between the car, the curb, and the skid there may be some.

^^ With that mentioned, now that I think about it, do you think you could get a new set of tires out of the deal? That's a lot of skid and sidewall scrape

That is a good looking truck! It's a good thing the damage is minimal and everyone is ok.

Do you have a lift at all on it? I like your ride height a lot.

Thanks man! The tread left sone serious marks in the road lol. Pretty impressed how my sway bar kept me planted to the ground. Wonder if I might have flipped without it? Probably not but I was going about 45/50mph.
