Spokes Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 So i was on the highway heading to go get some new tires and rims for my truck. I'm in the middle lane stopped (traffic) and there was a huge box truck behind me. so there was about 50ft behind me and the truck and he was coming forward at maybe 15mph well some a-hole in a ford comes flying up and cuts over and slammed on the brakes! the truck was fully loaded and didnt stop in time and hit the ford and the ford hit me! hit me hard enough to knock my radio out and my muffler off the cat!!1! i thought for sure my bed was going to be shot! :headpop: so i get out and check my truck and to my surprise it was almost fine!!! some minor dents and scratches.... the ford wasnt so lucky. :yes: I'm going to try and get a new rear bumper and my tailgate fixed back to new and have my frame/bed checked make sure they are still 100% should be fine tho.. i hope :shake: here are some pics..... and this also made my mind up... i not selling my MJ anytime soon! :yes: :no: and since my truck was still drivable i still got my new tires and rims! (they werent on yet, just next to truck but u get the idea)
thedave360 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 WOW! It didn't even break your tail light, and the F150 needs new everything in the front left. Apparently these Comanche's are Tanks
Drahcir495 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 What is wrong with people :fs1: . I am glad your ok. That is a Purdy MJ by the way. It doesn't look like much damage was done. And you still got your wheels - priceless!
Spokes Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 yeah it was a tank deff i was so glad wen i saw it was OK. and i got those 4 tires/rims for $300!!!!! rims are probably a 9 out of 10... and 2 tires are about 75% maybe little more. and 2 others are prob about 85-90%!!! they were a steal!!!! can't wait to mount them up! only thing they need is center caps. anyone know where i can get them cheap?
Throttle_Jockey Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 Looks like you got pretty lucky thankfully your ok
Spokes Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 Looks like you got pretty lucky thankfully your ok yup... my neck is a little soar. but its not worth making anything out of it.
mjeff87 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 good to hear you're ok, and the MJ is too. A few years ago my MJ and a ZJ bumped nasties on the interstate in a "weave" lane.....ZJ cost $1700 to fix. I reattached the breakaway mirror on my driveside and used a kitchen plunger to pop the dent out of the driverside door and went on my merry way :D Jeff
Spokes Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 idk everything happened so dang fast... before i new it the ford was on the flat bed and the cop spoke to him and he left! i was like wow. I'm going to buy the police report next week so i should find out. I'm just waiting for his insurance to call me.
reson46 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I'm just waiting for his insurance to call me. That will be a long wait, if ever. You need to call them and make a claim. Do you have the insurance information for both the box truck and the Ford? Unless the guy in the Ford was ticketed, his insurance company will probably try to pass the fault off to the box truck.

mjeff87 Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I'm going to buy the police report next week WTH???? :roll:
Spokes Posted March 18, 2009 Author Posted March 18, 2009 yeah i have to buy the police report! :nuts:
69CamaroSS Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 i wish my xj was that lucky when it got into it with a f150. i think it would of been fine if we hit straight on and his truck wasnt lifted. oh well... good thing everyones ok in your situation
codybutz Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 In Jersey you have to buy the report? Dang! And I thought Chicago was corrupt! Your truck still looks good. Not to high jack this thread but is that the stock bumper on the rear? Thats what my 87 came with.
jtdesigns Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 I'm going to highjack this thread a lil too... Hey man did you build the tonnel cover? Hows all the lift supports work n all?
Spokes Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 idk if its the stock bumper, i don't think it is. but idk. when i bought the truck it was on it lol. and the bed cover works great. ill can some pics of it tonight (provided it doesnt rain)
pilotblake Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 They just don't make them like they used too. Mj's might be small but they pack a big punch. Glad to hear your truck is okay. :cheers:
Spokes Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 They just don't make them like they used too. Mj's might be small but they pack a big punch. Glad to hear your truck is okay. :cheers: :clapping: u said it :yes: the only thing is tonight i gotta put the stock muffler back on... the Thrush i just put on just doesnt line up right after i got hit :dunno: everything is straight i just can't get it to line up. so i going to put the stocker back on and over the summer maybe get some flowmaster or something :brows:
