Default Look what I snagged up


This last holiday weekend was amazing and disappointing in so many ways turkey day was awesome. it's my families tradition to get a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. I continued that tradition this year. well I got stuck. and shortly before I knew it tree ripped off my drivers mirror, brake caliper fell off, and the gasket for the oil filter adapter split. I was a little bummed, I wasn't even playing in the snow and I jacked it up that bad. so my wife grabs me on Monday and said let's go look at getting you a new truck.... this is what I came home with.

Very nice. But how does someone's brake caliper "fall off"?

There are 2 bolts that secure the brake caliper to the back of the rotor, one of them fell out, the other snapped as I tried to back up left me a nice mess to deal with

That is one expensive Christmas tree, hopefully you can still afford to put something under it. ha
Nice truck and wife, congrats.
