i wrecked my explorer allmost the same daym way except i smashed into the biggest oak tree on the side of the rd. it sucks such a sweet vechicle is soo top heavy and duch a death machine :(
 












not totaled, $2400 in damages,All cosmetic tho, need a whole new bed side, rear bumper, bumper reinforcement, tail light, and the rim was scratched up. Im just glad that there wasnt any damage to the frame.
 












that sux u wrecked ur x
 






I replaced my bed side last month and it cost me about $500.00. I bought the panel and took it to a shop for paint. I did all the removal and replacement work myself. I then sanded my bumper cover and repainted with the black bumper paint. It looks good as new and I got to keep the remaining 1500.00 of the insurance check:D

Oh and I had to do this because my rear wheel came off driving done the road. Dont ask why though :banghead:

ouch... but I must ask... didnt the ABS help you with that?
 






i panicked, im pretty sure i thought i was hittin the break, but it was actually the gas.... not one of my best moves....
 






finally got it fixed, looks amazing, only problem is that the panel seems so much brighter from the rest of the truck haha. but they kicked azz on it, i took it to the shop at 11 on thursday and got it back at 530 on friday
