Roadwarrior's Build Thread: "Roxanne"

[drbandkgb]

You know they are going to ask you why you don't have a bumper on...
This is a bummer man.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Honestly, a bumper would have made this so much worse.. So I'll fight that reason.

 

[Prime]

Do you still have the cross brace on the end of the frame horns?

 

[Roadwarrior]

Nope, I sold the hi lift and mount to Zach K and then had plans to build a front soon.. I have his old one that I could drop on the front as a 'bumper'

 

[Prime]

That was kind of my point. That cross bar is the actual bumper. All the plastic is just cosmetic.

 

[TheFauxFox]

Sucks dude. I saw this on FB earlier.

 

[Xterra Performance]

Maybe insurance will give you enough for a RLC....

 

[Roadwarrior]

I doubt it, as I didn't have one on in the beginning, I doubt they'll buy me a new one..

AC core, Radiator, Support, possible AC Temperature probe (for the compressor, not the evap core) and possible hood latch. You're looking at around 210 in parts, plus labor and AC charges. Figure another 40-80 for AC, and I can't even begin to guess the labor.

Truck is being towed, claims already filed, time to study for my midterms tomorrow..

I need to stop stressing myself out with this truck, first underwater, then slambino'd into bambi.. What's next?

 

[Frogstar7055]

It sucks for sure but you actually got off light.
I've seen deer DESTROY a truck beyond all repair.

Hope you get a cool adjuster.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Just some photo dumps while I wait on the truck to be fixed. A couple of ideas in the works for fixes later on.

Anyway, here are these

I like to see how far she will lean. Reference the trees in the back.

These Photos are thanks to David M. Johnston.

Stay tuned for updates.

 

[Roadwarrior]

So just goofing off by loosing the sway bar end links, this is an update of what the truck looks like post hitting the deer.

Hoping to get things rolling as far as getting her back to her prime soon.

Well pictures are cheap

 

[drbandkgb]

Well pictures are cheap

So true

 

[TheFauxFox]

The thing that makes them ain't, though.

 

[Edodrian]

Now you just need some protection on the front of your rig.

You know... To keep that whole deer thing under control.

 

[robcarync]

Protection:

 

[Roadwarrior]

SAS.

Or sold. Hopefully Door #1.

 

[Prime]

Are you going to share?

 

[Roadwarrior]

Once things become confirmed then I will.. but I figured I would throw a bone to the nation

 

[Edodrian]

Don't break the chain of the skids!

 

[Prime]

Yeah. If you don't need them skids anymore, I call first dibs.

[Roadwarrior]

just what are you planning on doing with my twin? :hmmm:

I don't know if it's going to be in my plan anymore..

 

[GPD605X]

Yea, I saw the pic, what happened?

 

[Roadwarrior]

Yea, I saw the pic, what happened?

From what I can tell it was just the starter, stealership should have it back by Monday

[GPD605X]

[Prime]

What had happen?

 

[Roadwarrior]

What had happen?

They are talking about a picture on Instagram that I had, of my truck being towed to the dealership

 

[Prime]

Damn.

 

[Roadwarrior]

Look at you being all artsy and crap.
