mineurbiz Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Well was trying to just go home and just stopped at the light to go over 95 on Cheyenne infront of olive garden and BAMMMM!!! I was used as a set of brakes by a Nissan Altima. Good ole tough trucks, only ended up with a bent bumper and hitch. That is why I always leave my ball in the receiver.

I am lucky in one aspect, I only lost a bumper and a hitch, my truck can be fixed with a couple hours labor. Still sucks to have it happen thought.

Should already have one lined up just sucks!! The girl who hit me had just got rear ended 3 months ago. That ball has saved me before with my old truck, put a hole in the other guys bumper and did not do a thing to mine. Definate benefit to running around with it in. It was a nice hitch, heck it stopped that Altima and about pushed the front of her car in 1 1/2 feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just so happens that I have a bumper off my '04 that should fit yours in my garage that I'm looking to sell real cheap...was gonna post an ad in here, but if you're interested pm me. I suppose you'll let their ins. co handle it though... Edited February 11, 2007 by Dooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wingnut Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Gotta love big Trucks..!!!! I got rear ended in October. I was in My 3/4 red dodge. Little effin chevy Colorado plowed me going 50-55 when I was stopped. I was thinking "ohh this is gonna hurt." He went under my bumper for the most part. My draw bar fileted his front end. We were still in the lane of traffic. So I went to move my truck, it felt bad because I dragged his truck to safety with me!!! the wrecker and I had a tug of war to get them seperated, GOOD TIMES!!!!

mineurbiz Posted February 11, 2007 Author Share Posted February 11, 2007 I would have love to see that tug-O-war match, must have been hilarious (not for the owner of the colorado). I was looking and my bumper "may" be fine, could need to be adjusted or possibly a bracket or two. I know the black pad on the step part has to be replaced and the hitch, but there might be hope for the bumper. Dirty, do you know Tom Arlt?

Grimace Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I always leave my hitch in also. For that exact reason. The only problem with that is people who don't know its there always bang their shin or knee on it. Sorry peeps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry peeps I just look at that as a free little giggle when it happens to others and an opportunity to cuse like a truck driver when it happens to me.

OGP Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I usually leave my ball in the receiver as well. Its just a little bit more protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunefreak Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I guess you guys have never heard of this, but if you leave your hitch in your receiver on your truck your frame is actually prone to MORE damage due to the fact that the impact is more concentrated in one spot. Ask some body shop writer/ estimators or insurance adjusters. Just my Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOOK WERE YOUR HITCH CONECTS TO THE FRAME AND YOU'LL SEE TWO BUCKLES, NOTHING THAT WE CAN'T FIX... I will probably be bringing it to Findlay, you guys did the work on my Fiances Suburban and it looks good. I did look underneath and you can see where the bolts moved in the bumper brackets, almost like it moved it out of adjustment. I am not body guy so I will let someone else tell me what is wrong. If it needs more than a bumper and a hitch, I wont be taking it in until the end of the month. Need to take the 5th wheel out on the 23 - 25. It just sucks now, I have to get a remanufactured bumper, which may be no big deal, it is more the principle of it all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
