View Full Version : Frigged up my truck

Last night I hit a large piece of debris on I-26 and tore up the passenger side front fender and demolished the door. It blew out the front tire, then proceeded to cut a large hole in the door and even bend the cab of the truck. I had a choice to hit the car next to me, or go down an embankment or run it over. Now I need a fender, bumper, tire, door and serious repairs to the cab. Man, how quickly things can go to $##+.

Wow larry that really suck but Im glad your ok. I have a spare F1 you can have that has about 70-80% treadlife left. I know its not much but its a start. Hopefully others will have some of the parts you need laying around.

Let me know if you want it.

I'm glad you didn't crash Larry. You can always fix the truck.

Thanks. I have an extra pair of matching wheels and tires. I put one on and it drives fine. Whatever I hit also went through the tire and straight through the rim. Oh well, it's off to work the boat show, and I don't want to be there now. :(

Just take off all the stuff that got damaged. That will save you some weight for your showdown with Randy!

Thanks for the replies. I am kind of bummed, but on the bright side, it will look better than before. Good luck at the track to everyone.

No pics. I don't know how to even download pictures anyway. It doesn't look all that bad.
