I broke it good this time

[techieman33]

I'm not saying that--
However I am trying to justify a small amount of my stupidity.

It is all my fault I know.

I know I'm just joking. Your stupid moment was a whole lot smaller than mine was.

 

[Joe Dirt]

Wow. But yeah- it looks cosmetic, nonetheless makes you sick though...

 

[99SportX]

Wow Jon, very sorry to see this happened. We can rebuild the Turdle, we have the technology. lol It will be come back stronger than it ever was.

 

[corkey]

darn, wish i could come down and join the thrash, just too far,

That stop sign is inside a "Pipe Ballard". I have painted a gazillion of those things. They do not give easy at all. I seen a semi truck bend them a tad, but that's it. Poor Mounty didn't stand a chance.

I think the hood your selling can be used, a fender from the local JY, some fab welding from the neighbor, straighten the bumper with a tree & a chain, and your good to go to Ouray. You have all winter to make it pretty again.

Dang, sorry to see that Jon. You'll get back as good as new.

Thanks for all the support. I am not giving up yet, although this is going to test me greatly. I may be asking for some help. Mind another night at the B&B?

We got your back you just say the word. I'll even pitch a tent in the back yard. Really, I will be back in the manhappening, like the 21st or there abouts, and would love to make a roadtrip if you still need extra hands.

 

[Paraphoe]

Wow, that's miserable Jon. I hope you can get it all back together without too much trouble...;(

 

[JDraper]

Sorry to see that Jon...those poles do have a nasty way of jumping in front of vehicles...

It'll buff out

 

[Turdle]

Hmm,
Do I really love this truck, or is it the fact it has fought me so hard all the way, I just don't want to give up?

This might be the straw. I'm tired of fixing crap.

My neighbor could have a recording to save his breath,

"whatcha doin to it now"?

Things around me need attention, and this truck takes all of it away.

I'm tired--

 

[gmanpaint]

Tired I understand. Giving up I don't.

John Force would prolly chew you out right now.

Give it a couple of days Jon, you will be Jones-ing to get it going again.

My rig is more than a source of transport, it is a way of life, and all that comes with it. I wish I had gotten over my wants for fast cars a long time ago, because this community of fellowship for another is just a perfect example of the goodness we can share with another. Team, Comradeship, and Friendship, are a few that come to mind.

By doing the things you have done to the Turdle, you have inspired many people, are looked up to, and have gotten the admiration of a ton of people. You are a great example to us all, and this would not be known to most of us if you didn't have this rig to monkey around with. So, buck up little camper, the sun is shining down the road for you.

Jon get your head out of the gutter. I know this sucks, seen Eric go through it a couple of times sadly. you need to sit back and take a breath for a minute or a day. I'm sure it can be fixed. You never know you might be able to make the truck even better because of this.

 

[Tbars4]

...Sometimes, a previous opponent that has been against you in every battle, becomes your best friend...Maybe it's just time to start enjoying it for what it is...

 

[Burns]

Solid axle swap?

 

[techieman33]

Believe me I know how you feel Jon, I can't even tell you how many times I've wanted to call you and tell you to just have mine scrapped because I can't stand to look at it anymore. Just hold off a couple days before you do anything, give yourself some time to cope. You love that mountaineer like it's your brother, yeah you fight sometimes but in the end your their for each other.

I look at it this way - the truck didn't cause this one. If you were driving a lot of other vehicles the same thing might have happened. Give it another chance.

 

[FROADER]

Jon, I think Jason just called you a ****ty driver!! Ban him!!

I agree with techie.

 

[Sams01XplrSprt]

that sux jon about ur mounty hope u get fixed and it get up and running again

 

[zukman]

Jon we have spent weeks sorting out the damage done to the 91, and figuring out what mods she does and doesn't have. We feel your pain!
But you know "Turdle" better than anyone. You know when she's right on, or when she is a little off. Put her back together, tell her your sorry, and get your ass to Ouray! Paint her pretty during the winter. Hmmm could always paint her like Jurassic Parks step child! lol
