That is exactly what I am afraid of happening. Lifted trucks make the bumper useless against cars. The axle takes the impact.

Truck dont look to bad. Just got to put that axle thingy back where it belongs......

If you can't go through it or around it, then go over it.
good mudders don't stop too well in the rain either. I hate those freaking baja claws on my Toyota ...... gonna ditch them for Geolanders for street driving........... i got Geolanders on the minivan ;)

the bumper was the first point of impact for him, and because when he spun me to the curband i hit the curb front right side first and fliped, saved my bacon, even though the frame got a little tweak in it the bumper kept the frame from taco'ing

actually you can't tell from the pics but the tires have about 75% tread left. thought about a ranger, i like them but as hard as i hit it might have killed me
soon as i upload the pic i will post the other guy

I am trying to put together exactly what happened in my head. Did you end up facing the opposite way on the other side of the intersection?

Shame that was a nice older truck. Hope damage is not too bad or you can rebuild it.

i was heading north and clipped the west bound car and spun a 180* to face southbound while slamming into the curb with passenger front tire making me do a cartwheel landing on the passenger side. damage done: blew apart both front spring packs, sheared steering link from steering box to steering knuckle:shok: , sheared passenger motor mount, rotated driverside mount 45*, ripped off both shocks, tweaked frame 2inches on both sides, crumpled front fender(passenger side), munched passenger door. don't know how i walked away with only a dislocated finger :icon_confused: :icon_idea: the only thing i can figure is that the hand of god was on me. as far as the truck, it's a total, oh and almost ripped passenger front spring hanger off the frame. i guess when i do something, i don't do it halfassed.

That is a BAD day!
You got the wrong car! It was supposed to be the Honda!
If you were a little closer I would give you a running Ranger in exchange for that transfer case.
One thing to say, Your luck is bound to be better soon. It can't get much worse.
