Default FML guys

So i was about to change my break pads, jump in my truck to get to back it up, and it stalled cause i didnt let it warm up so i decided i would put it in neutral and push it well my drive way is not as flat as i thought it was truck rolled right out of my drive way across the street and down a hill until it hit a tree. My hitch lined up perfectly with the tree so i don't think there is any serious damage just needs some body work, so again FML


BUT IT GOT BETTER NEW PICS ON POST 9

Ha ha ha I thought it went up kinda easy. That tree kicked your trucks ***. Ive never been a flareside fan so you would have my vote on the regular ones. It looks like a grenade went off in your wheel well.

I believe the flareside wells are made of fiberglass, which is why it looks like broken plastic.

Fox24, sorry about your truck.

Didnt want to make a new thread just to show updates so here they are.



Got the bed for 200 at a junkyard, it needs a little work, but that was expected. It wont look pretty until the spring but she will be functional again.
