he broke the right rear off, not the left front like me :blbl:, but 3 broke bulkheads and 2 shocks sounds about right.

[BIG RED]

do you smell that?.................the smell of rusted bearings and wasted electronics:thumbs:

[scoobie]

yeah, spray all the steel parts and bearings with some wd40, and bag up your electronics...h20=RUNAWAY:eek: :eek: :cussing: :cry:

LOL xj taught me every thing I know. LOL

The one bulkhead is totaled out completely the roll cage transfered the impact to the other 2 that broke the 2 shocks had the top mounts snaped clean off I also found a broken bumper mount.
Funny thing is the hit was not a hard one I've hit things much harder than that before. she's all torn down now ready for the new (Used) parts. I hear ya on the waiting till spring but whats the fun in that and I'll just end up running one of our other trucks anyway. My wife thinks I'm nuts wanting to run in the cold.
