My poor truck

It has been a while sence i have been on here.A lot of stuff has happend sence.

I was at a stop light at 3:00am going home from work on June 19th of 09.A girl was in a Kia sonata and she hit me from behind and she was doing 65 mph+ without breaking.Shered off my bolts on my drivers seat,broke my rear driveshaft,shoved my power train up 2 ft.So ya that truck was trashed.I had to have surgery on my neck.It sucked.Ford did not want to give the pay off to my insurance at all.They ended up going to court over this pissed me off.So when I went to buy another truck I went Dodge.2010 1500 Black Hemi 390 Hp Bighorn 6" BDS +2" Revtek spacers 8" total lift 37"s Moto metal 951 Chrome 20x10 wheels,ss 5" oval nurfbars,20% tint,lamin x tint on heads and tail lights,and BDS dual Stabilizer kit.

Trust me it sucked.I was off work for 6 months.I still hurt like a ****.I know you guys will dis owne me now but you guys were great when I was here.
Thanks for everything.

Here are some before and after pics of my truck,












Makes me sick looking at these pics.I loved that truck.

Thanks bro I apreciate it.The girl that hit me wasn't drunk or high.Just stupid and blind.How can you not see a big red truck at an intersection litted up well?Ya I did miss my Roush F-150 until I got my Hemi.I love this truck.It is pretty freekin fast even with the 37's.I couldn't tell the power loss at all when I went to my 37's.

I will post a couple of pics on here of it.Hopefuly I wont get in trouble over it.

Ya I am learning to deal with the pain.I am 35 years old and will more then likely hurt the reast of my life.

That truck does sound pretty sweet.

Thanks for the complement.I am putting a 3" body lift on it soon.Then it will be an 11" lift total.
I am putting 4.56's LSD in it soon too.

That sucks, both the truck and your neck.

But I hope you got the truck you REALLY wanted and not just one out of spite.

The dodge looks nice, but the ford looked better.

Good luck with the new truck though!

Nice Dodge but Nicer Ford. Dodge had an issue with breaking seat bolts a few years back, they have since fixed the issue. Sorry to hear about your neck too. What happened to the Kia? At 65MPH I bet it was FUBAR along with the driver.

As for seeing your truck, My wife, mom and son have all hit mine in broad daylight in my own driveway. You can't expect people to not be stupid.

I'mm pretty sure red is the brightest color out there so I'm sure she was texting or something. Unless for some reason she couldn't see brake lights. When you're starting to approach a vehicle and it hasn't moved in a few seconds something should tell you to slow down.

I wouldn't buy a dodge, but it does look pretty good. Is it just the photo or is the rear 2" higher than the front?

Not too in love with the new ram's, but that sure is a sharp ride.

Hope you feel better.

hehe Thanks bro.

Naw I got one hell of a deal on this truck that is the main reason why I bought it.I test drove it and fell in love with it.
Yes it is about 2" higher on the rear.I am putting a 3" body on it and it should look a lot better.I am thinking about trading my 5" block on the rear for the 3"
block from BDS.So it will be level.

Thanks guys for the replies.I did buy a Ram but I do miss my Ford. I do love my Ram though .
