Unfortunately my time with my 97 has come to a close tonight. Around 5:30 PM in Pennsylvania it met a Chevy Tahoe and didn't do so well. Basically the tahoe met my explorer's winch bumper at the Tahoe's pass fender/bumper area. My winch hook or fairlead must have hooked to the tahoe somehow and ripped the bumper off the mounts, bent the passenger frame rail 90 degrees to the right, both airbags deployed plus other damage.. Pics to follow eventually once I go back up to the impound lot to pick my truck apart.

HAHA, we need to paint it pink and it would be PERFECT! :D

Hey Ben, I know it's early to ask, buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.... IF you part Kami out, I have dibs on that pass side power mirror if it's still whole, ok? I'll make sure some part of that poor truck lives on :(

Yikes sorry to hear it but glad your Ok
 






The Big Bang

Blee, I am very happy you're okay. Sucks losing the truck, but its replacable and you're not. I hope everything works out.
MSM:salute:
 






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.
 






lawn mower, another cars tank
sorry to hear, glad nobody was hurt
 






Ahh that sucks. Glad your ok though. You couldnt get AAA to tow it back for you?

I don't have AAA, I have Geico and unfortunately since in my opinion its considered a loss since the tranny was having issues not to mention it was just getting harder and harder to keep up with on repairs.
