Well yesterday my mom used my truck to go into town to do some work at the office she couldn't do at home.while she was driving in the wind was really strong and snow was blowing over the road to the point you couldn't really see how tall snow was on the road.so while she was driving a well traveled 2lane highway bam a 4ft tall drift blew across the road and before she could stop she hit the drift she was only going 40-45 do to conditions.when she hit it it spun the truck doing 2 360's and flied in to the ditch on its top..thankfully she walked away without a scratch.im very glad she is ok.but on the truck note i just got it out of the shop on Friday and paid 2400 for the new trans i had put in didn't even have it 24 hours and now it is done it sucks this was a great truck and it is paid off i sure am glad i have full coverage on it though now fo some of the pics.
seeing this really hit me that it could have killed her no air bags went off i know if there wast the 3ft of soft snow it flipped onto it would've prolly been worse.
seeing this also has me wanting to say PLEASE WARE YOUR SEAT BELTS
this is where it had landed.dont mind the to catalytic converters on the ground i had also just done an exhaust on the truck to

Dang dude!!! Glad she is okay! 4' drift over the road is nothin to joke about!!!! I've seen 2-3 foot ones here in Minn this year. Always be careful!

im pretty sure it is i just check value and says 13,750 sucks cause that truck had every option you could get when it came out in 02 which also why it still holds good value even at 110k great truck and if i dont get it back ill miss it and i will say ill get same kind of truck in a heartbeat
OUCH dude. Glad to hear shes ok

will do. what sort of 1/2 ton you looking for? color, options, anything? i think a trailblazer would probably be good for you. a guy i work with has one and he loves it. it is kind of nice though if you need a truck to have one. let me know what to look for and i'll keep an eye out. there's a few dealer ships around here that sell everything.
id like trailblazer ss awd with leather.
f150 or chevy 1500 4 doors 4x4 leather call me if you find anything
Damn!
She's a lucky lady to walk away.
Glad everything is okay!

ok well for the ford we got like 13800 back so close to what we were hoping for

So... since this truck is so nice I'm assuming we'll be going through all the essential maintenance schedule to make sure it stays that way right?? ;)

:thumbs: yes and plan to service trans and change fluid in rear end when i get it

Leave the rear diff, I'll make you a list. Check it against the service manual in the glove box, should be spot on. Rear diff, transfer case, and front diff shouldn't need it until at least 70k.
30k serviceFuel filter
transmission service (Dexron 6 fluid and ACDelco trans filter)
engine oil and filter change (I'd reccomend Mobil 1 5w30 and ACDelco filter)
lube front end suspension
Checkair filter
PCV valve
brakes
That should be plenty of a start for that truck. :thumbs: Then we can start doing the leveling kit and exhaust.
ok well sat get me price on parts man call me and we will order stuff in if needed
or could wait a week till i get the leveling kit as well and doit all at micah's where it is heated well when he has time i should say

Sorry, my start-up capital is a little short right now so hourly employees are out of the question. If I could create and market something substantial for the quad or truck crowd, I might be able to make it fly. For right now though, I've got to stick to the local work in the off-hours when I'm not working at the main source of income.
ok fine!!lol talk to you tonight BRO :batman:
Alright going to sign final paper on my luch break and getting truck tonight :clap:
