Had a little wreck*PICS*

While I was going to shcool this morning I came around a curve probably just a little to fast since it was raining and the rear end just slid around on me. I was probably going 30 mph but its a sharp curve and the roads were wet and bam, I hit a ditch. Good news is i'm not hurt and the truck isnt hurt. the only thing that happend to the truck was the exhaust hanger came out the rubbet hanger and the bumper is slightly bent in. By slightly I mean slightly, you cant even tell unless you really look at it. Here are the pics, I took them with my camera phone so they arent very good.

I tried to but the rear wheels didnt have enough traction because they were barely touching the ground. If I would have had a locker in the front I probably could have though. And my dad came and pulled me out with the PSD. No problem whatsoever. We had to loop the chain arond the frame because I dont have tow hooks because of the bull bar. I will have a couple more pics here in a min of the skid marks.

I don't think he has 4wd and he looks like he'd be hung up on his hitch. I have problems with that all the time. Regardless, it looks like a picture I've intentionally took...lol. Only kidding ya, I think you should have posted it as a stuck instead of a wreck, looks like it would be fun if it was intentional. Take care and hope you work out that bumper. Try taking a hammer to the inside to even things out.

Josiah, it is a 4x4(just took the FX4 stickers off but waiting on new black ones to come in any day) and the hitch was hung up in the side of th bank but if it wasnt for the hitch I probably would have bent the bumper pretty bad so I'm glad I had the hitch on. Here are the other two pics I took of it. this one is the front wheel where it was spinning trying to get it out before my dad came.

this is a pic of the skid marks where it slid off in the ditch.

It's pretty easy to rollover from a ditch like that during a wipeout. Good thing you went down right. Anyways, glad it's a 4wd, really aids in the extraction process

Dude this is just my opinion but, leave those stickers off! Your truck looks so simple and clean now, IMO one of the sharper rigs around here. I really like it like that.

nice shot

that was a nice shot, glad that there is no damage and you made it out.

I agree with Josiah, you should have said stuck not wreck

check that one for a nice stuck in the mud....

Here is a pic after I got it home. Turns out the exhaust pipe is bent a little and I'm going to have to get a new one or get it dumped which I will probbly do. Still looking over it to try and find something wrong with it. I cant believe thats all that happened. Lukily it was kinda muddy because if it was dry It probably would have done a lot of damage.

Maybe this is a good time to upgrade your exhaust. Something with a polished tip maybe
