Very Sad News for the Green Machine

I second Chris's auto body, we do trade work for them, and they have always done a good job on our vehicles.

And thats why they're called brush guards lol I keep going back and forth on the brush guards for my truck, but I don't think I seen many that are worth it for the wheeling I do, think I'll just make a custom light bar, then beef up the bumper and mounts and make the plastic harder to tear off, although I have yet to do so, but one day...

I'm sorry to hear also.  Another place that checks frames is Chris' body and Paint located 6928 S State St, in Midvale.  This is the only place anybody in my family will let touch our vehicles.  They did a great job checking my dads frame on his F350 everytime it has gotten in a wreck.  Even when he got ran into by a cement truck with ten yards of concrete.  They have also checked all of our work trailers from time to time also.  Hope you get it all figured out.

.......UPDATE.......UPDATE.......UPDATE.......UPDATE.......UPDATE.......

Took it over to Chris' body and Paint yesterday.

No frame damage but does need alignment.
Brushguard may be able to bend back into somewhat decent shape by putting flat tow strap around it and a tree and backing up slowly.  :help:
Bumper - 481.56 (bill not in front of me) includes the foglight right side has been broken for along time but will blame it on the boys...
Foglight housing 110.00 included with bumper.
Will try to force the cladding back into shape with heat gun and pry bar.  Need direction on this one....  :help:
Window - Crack due to imperfection in Safelite auto glass windshield.  Under warrenty but not sure if they will replace it yet.
4 wheel drive binding when turning.  (Most likely cause low fluid.)  Neeed to check!  Need direction on this on too .....  :help:
Trailer harness - rerlacement needed.  Will install it in the rear bumper near license plate! Need direction on this one also.....  :help:
Third brake light Repaired last week no problem!

Will take it to Higgens auto body for an estimate also.

Go see Rod over at Gus' and get some new fluid and then come over to my place this weekend and I will change it for you.

Glad to hear its not bent :D

4wd will bind up when turning sharp, its normal, just don't do it on pavement or you may over-stress components, even on packed dirt it will feel like it starts to bind up. I personally changed all my fluids, front & rear diff, and transfer case so if you need help let me know.

And I've done the trailer plug relocation, so I know I have the tools and that for it, long as I can find my dremel lol, need help just let me know.

Well of course I will need YOUR help....Which means you have to come to the GTG Saturday the 18th  >:D
 
lol for sure :) I shouldn't have anything planned that I know of yet. I sometimes can forget about a gtg cuz I may not get on here all the time and can be busy with school, is it cool if I send you a PM with my phone number so you can text/call to remind me?
