These are pictures my girlfriend took as we drove on our way to Grand Marias, this was about 45 minutes before the accident.

 

In the ditch. Its hard to tell but under all that snow pack are huge boulders. In the pictures that show the road, it's decieving. We were in the ditch for 45 minutes before a tow truck came. 10 minutes after wrecking, a plow came by and cleared the roads.



The tonneau cover broke at the hinge to the bed by the rear windows and it flew open.


Underneath the truck:

 

dangg that sucks. How did that happen? did you just slip? were u in 4WD?

 

Post #12 has the answers to these questions.

 

Right rear tire. Wait till you see the rim once we got to the Ford dealership.



Passenger's Side in the trees:

 

Front Shots:







I was coming north on 61, this is a shot of down the road where I was coming from:

 

That definately sucks! I guess the pics don't do it justice(can't even see the rocks w/ the snow covering them)

How did your exhaust that you spent so much time on fair?

Glad to hear ya'll are OK. I'm sure it will be better than new by springtime.

 

This is a picture looking north on the road, where I was going:



Getting winched out of the ditch:



A picture of once I was pulled out of the ditch:

 

Right front tire, both mud flaps were bent in half but still retained themselves. They'll still need to be replaced because of the plastic creases that are now there.



Right rear rim after it was pulled off the truck (or what was left of it):

 

The exhaust is fine, just a few scratches on the resonator and the muffler; but nothing to warrant replacement. The pictures really don't do this ditch justice, because it is seriously nothing but boulders covered in snow.

If the frame isn't bent, which the Ford tech in Two Harbors said it looked it since the entire rear end is bent to the left four inches, then it should be back up and running in a month or so. Hopefully looking like a supercrew harley davidson.

Picture of the right rear after the tire and rim where yanked off. You can see in this pic the new gap between the cab and the bed. Also, it's hard to tell but there is a dent in the bottom of the bed in front of the wheel well; and a dent in the chrome bumper on the side.



Picture of the right front suspension, where the control arm is attached. You can see how it got pushed over to the left side. Right now the right front tire points to the right and the left front tire points to the left.

 

Right front control arm, that black rubber boot is all bent up:



Left rear view. See how the leaf spring is now over the top of the exhaust pipe:



Right rear view. This is where the Ford tech said that I should have an entire new rear end and not have this part cut off and re-welded as that would never be as solid.

 

Right rear leaf spring pushed over to the right and into the brake lines:



Even closer up picture of the right rear:

 

Wow! That almost makes me wanna cry seeing your truck and all those goodies sittin in the ditch.

 

Tell me about it. If anyone could provide help with the part numbers for the Harley Davidson front bumper and rear bumper, it would be much appreciated.

I think I will go with the black rear bumper and harley davidson front bumper along with a black grill surround instead of chrome. Then still use the billet grill I have.

Or do you guys think I should just have it repaired to the way it was?
