Let my girlfriend drive...

Ha ha it wasn't her fault but here are the pics anyways...
Before

after



Its in the shop now, about $8000 worht of damage and only 4800 miles on it. I ordered a big new ranch hand front bumper replacement to put on instead of the chrome front bumper which obviously did nothing. It got the whole front clip, radiator and even did some frame damage! They have to cut a piece of the frame out and weld in a new bracket piece. I guess its a kit thats pretty common in the new f 150's. A lot of damage for a small fender bender. Hopefully the new bumper is a lottle more ridgid. I've been without my truck for 2 weeks now, I think I'm going through withdrals...

yeah, I agree. The one I ordered isn't too bulky. I'll be sure to post some pics once it gets in. I'm also getting 6 inches taller on friday... I think it will come together nicely. Sometimes practicality supercedes vanity. lol

although pedestrians do have the right of way, they can sure do some stupid sh*t sometimes.

At least she wasn't hurt because these trucks are built so well. Imagine what would've happened in a smaller vehicle.
