Im with booder, take the compressor/ guts off the old errr new one and make a beer fridge

I wonder if you can warranty out the straps, assuming you didnt exceed their ratings... Like maybe even get them to cover the fridge? or the deductible

Jamz, you really set us up on that little story of yours....I schit myself when I saw that first picture. It would never have had the same effect if you had just posted the picture. But the sheer brilliance of a busted a$$ fridge laying lifeless in the middle of an empty road....genius!

Notice we haven't heard from our intrepid fridge hauler in a while...

Ten bucks says he's getting the riot act from the better half.

Check the join dates noob. I thought the F-150 emblem was the first door handle and thought '04 was new style '04 and assumed screw. I've never seen any other pics of his truck that I recall. Now that I look closer I can see that the emblem is infact the emblem because its on the other side of the mirror. Now I look in his album and see he has a Heritage 04 regular cab

I will give you 50 bucks for it.

That sucks bro. I would be pissed too. Look on the bright side though, now you can build the ultimate soap box racer with it

I didn't read this at first because I was afraid what I would find.

Curiosity got the better of me though so I looked.

Oh . . . dude, that hurts. That's just awful.

Your homeowners policy and maybe your auto policy might cover most of it (fingers crossed) As you pointed out in your tale, delivery was not available to you so you had to try to do it yourself (well, you didn't have to but you get the idea . . . )

Call your insurance company (try homeowners first I would guess) and see what they say.

Good luck to you. I hope it's covered somehow.
