    Modified my entire front end today!!!

    This is what happens when workers have a pile of dirt in the road, with a couple of cones around during rush hour on Lemmon Ave. in Dallas and the three cars in front of you jam their brakes on and you do the same and your truck just slides. Damage courtesy of a 2005 Volvo XC90:












    On the last two pictures, I need your guys help please. Is the crossmember supposed to be curved the way mine is or is mine pushed in from the wreck? It's something I've never paid attention to and if it's bent, I want to catch it now.

    I need some people to check and confirm on if it's supposed to be straight. If you had just asked me, I would have said it was straight. But now I'm not sure. If it's bent I need to catch it in time for the adjuster.

    Thanks crewhauler...anything ya got will help. At the moment I'm not looking to buy parts because the insurance will cover everything. But if ya have some spare stuff, I'll gladly take it. Everything on the front is messed up - condenser, brackets, lights, light brackets, grill, crossmember, bumper, valance, etc.

    Nice sig Dale....lol

    Thanks for the concern man...always somethin!

    Dayum Man, that sucks for you. What a bad piece of luck. Were the roads wet? I thought your truck had anti-lock brakes. GM owes you something if their braking system failed, IMO.

    They're anti-lock, but I think with the different PCM they won't work? My heads kind of jumbled right now, but I don't think the anti-locks work. But yeah they were a little wet, even with anti-lock I think I still would have hit her. She stopped pretty early and had lots of cushion, which took my cushion away.
