I'm Explorer-less

more than likely I'm just gonna let Geico have it.. To be perfectly honest unless there is a way for me to get it down to MD without cost, I wouldn't mess with it.. Besides how can I dispose of 10 gallons of gas.

PLEASE tell me you're at least going to go up there and salvage your winch...! I should have a mobile Explorer by tomorrow- if you're not busy during the day on Thanksgiving or even next weekend I certainly don't mind taking you up there to get your stuff. And what happened to Aj bringing it down for you?

Unfortunately the winch suffered damage too.. The entire casing cracked near the voltage lines and looks like the drum is kinda out of position.. I got $4200 some for it.. Unfortunately for the rear bumper to be removed, I needed a stock bumper to replace it so I had to keep it there.. :(

dang guy, you really did a number on her, glad to see your ok....she will be missed.
 






Damn, that is insane! I am glad you are alright. Did you suffer any minor injuries from the airbags? It is crazy how that frame bent so far over.
 






No body damage to me except for some bruising around my left arm and a headache for the past few days (southern comfort) takes care of it :D Pissed me off more is that the winch is fubar and now I'm gonna miss wheeling at new years :(

yeah basically on the frame, the winch bumper gave no give upon impact so the frame had to give so it buckled to relieve pressure.
 












You can just transfer that 4200 plus a little more over to my account and you can have my explorer. You can be wheelin on new years ;)
 






welcome to the club of no explorer, i have been there once my self and it sucks
but glad your ok
 






Gee whiz Ben, this absolutly sucks!
I always loved your ex.
My favorite were the rocksliders you fabbed up.
Sorry to see her in such condition. :(
 






That hurts my mind to see the frame bend like that. Again, at least your ok.

The rocksliders Ben fabbed up????
 






A little bit of rubbing compound and you are back on the road
 






pfft.. I need a little more than some rubbing compound and some elbow grease to fix that :D
 






yeah, some rubbing compund, and a whole new truck :) :rolleyes:
 






Wow, now thats some frame damage. Good to hear that you are okay. Any plans on whats next?
 






Right now the plans are to get a daily driver.. I have my eye on a 03 Camry with 40K miles fully loaded for $15K. Probably within the next few months I'm gonna purchase another 2nd gen or 1st gen and start working on it.. Just have to keep an eye out at the auctions for one cheap
 












Sorry, didn't mean to take away credit. :thumbsup:

It was JDraper & me who should take credit for it.. Mostly Jeff since he designed it..
