Looks good Lee,but the pics don't do justice for how big this thing really is.

tell'em the tire size :shock:
show'em there's seating for ten dozen :shock:
tell'em you had invented the monster sunroof,before the KK stole your idea :shock:
tell'em that in a first gear crawl,you can pull a 747 out the mud :shock: :shock:

Seriously guys,you really gotta be standing next to this beast to get a full understanding of how badass this thing really is.

8) Elahwtuogub!!!

That thing is freaking awesome - and like Bub said, you guys have to see it to really appreciate it. He had it parked in his shop and my KJ was behind it when we installed the lift. I swear that thing rolled a little closer to my Jeep every time I looked away - I think it had an eye to eat it!

BTW Lee, where is that you were running it in the vid? It looks vaguely familiar, but I can't quite place it. . . .

Sure.
http://gallery.me.com/ltalessi/100595
Progressive is his insurance. They offered 8700. Ita probably 12000-15000 in parts. Body is ruined, frame is bent. I'll need another truck, i assume.....

Rear 4 1/2" body bolts sheared off. Walls bent up to the doors, rear floor buckled.....

DOH! that sucks big time! Were you able to keep it? Was it drivable? Don't think they would make you flat bed it here in NV with the little amount of damage...visual damage.

They didn't make me. The rear of the cab is not attached to the body. The frame is bent. I live 20 miles from the accident, no way I would risk getting hit again on the way home, or hitting someone and having the 4 remaining bolts shear....

I am still fighting....
