ok guys well here goes. u can prolly chalk this one up as one of the top bonehead ricer moments, so ill go ahead and bend over. 1st things 1st. roush is on and SCREAMING!!! ok here comes the bad news. stopped by gf's house tonight(whole family are big motorheads). took her out for some spinning around (literally). welll. last little burnout in a parking lot area yielded my truck jumping a curb and grazing a telephone pole. its not bad. worst part is both front wheels and tires are screwed... thats like $1,300 lower bumper is bent, bumper cover is ok. this i dont mind because my rigged up foglights werent working out to well with he non-foglight bumper, and i was thinking of buying one anyway. theres a dent in the passenger side fender. will have to be repaired and have fender painted. thats pretty much it. there is a scuff mark on the plastic upper bumper piece that can be buffed or sanded out. this stuff i dont mind because i was going to have all the paint work done yet on the truck. I JUST FEEL LIKE A MORON THOUGH

had a problem with the s/c when i 1st cranked it up. somehow i damaged the main fuel line at the fuel rail and it was leaking. i went to the dealership and order a new line($150 ) i came back an was able to repair the connection myself and seems to holding up well. even after the crap i put it through... so basically truck is fast as hell, but a little dinged up... put 2 stock wheels/tires up front. gonna try and get the bumper and wheels in the next cpl weeks... rest when i can afford it.. i guess i can still get a vid but itll look a little funky...

anyway truck runs fine and i LOVE the roush. shifts are sooo much quicker and firmer and power is awesome

Hey at least your honest about it. Not like some other members who wreck their ride and dont confess. :cough:lifegaurdjoe:cough: Glad to hear the roush works as expected. Id love to see the numbers on your truck. Short bed+reg. cab+supercharger= Holy S!@# speed Hope you get your truck fixed soon and on the road. Just be careful out there...

Later,

Luis S
