R.I.P. Patches

Well just got the word about 20 minutes ago that the truck is totaled :(

quick back story. Last Friday on my way home I was coming over a small bridge when a little car topped the hill coming straight for me in my lane. My 2 options were go head on or swerve. So I swerved and went into a concrete guardrail at about a 45* angle. Tore up grime the front bumper all the way to the tailgate. Tweaked a bunch of stuff on the body and whatnot and pretty much scared the piss out of me.

So now it's time to start taking parts off and replacing them for stock stuff. I have a line on some exhaust and a cam thanks to Danny, Tyler and Jason so hopefully I won't need a whole bunch more. I'll be workin at the house if anyone is feeling froggy and wants to help put in some work for beer and food and stuff... I'm pretty much broke (now in more way than one) otherwise i'd offer cash for help.

Not sure if I'm gonna be selling a bunch of the parts I have just yet or not. Depends how much insurance gives me and what my next vehicle is going to be... I was hoping for a 10 second truck, but looks like I gotta start all over now.

I've gotten a bunch of txt msgs and phone calls and I really apprecite the concearn honestly... I'm just sore and it's nothing some Tylenol hasn't been able to take care of...

But maybe now I'll actually have a truck or vehicle that is all one color for the first time in 6 years lol!

Y'all be careful out there, I thought I was invincible like alot of people do... I was very lucky I didn't go head on with a car or end up going over the guardrail and ending up on my lid in the middle of the highway..

Thanks again for the calls and txts... Now it's just time to build something bigger and better *fistpump*

that sucks man, glad your ok hope ya get a new ride thats 10x better.

Man Allen that sucks. Im glad your ok! Ive got some stock parts laying around if you need any. Just text me. Go ahead and text me anyway because I lost all my numbers, that way I can get your number back.

that's what my brother told me too. it's really true. even tho you may not be kicking just yet, atleast you're on the way

I lol'd at the tag... It's true

I've found a few trucks on CL that I may go look at and whatnot. I drove it earlier and it's all kinds of messed up. So just gonna yank the cam, exhaust, nitrous, intake and pillows off the engine and replace it with stock stuff. Along with some interior sthing.

So far all I think I need is a couple pillows and stock intake. Everything else was pretty easy to track down. Thanks fellas.

why do you have pillows in your truck?

suck to hear that, i'm glad your ok

I guess I'm confused why you're replacing stuff. I thought it was totaled?

Its an epidemic I just had a guy do $5800 damage to my truck but they fixed it. Good luck with the next one

damn dude that sucks man

I'm replacing it with stock parts... They aren't giving me money for my aftermarket stuff, so I'm puttin stock stuff back on and tellin em to piss off lol!

whos your insurance company? Ever time I have done somethign to the truck I keep the receipt and take pictures of it, so when stuff gets stolen or whatev they can replace it.

that sucks bro, and only im invinsible :lol: i also lol'd at the tags
