Re: crash
You must have dropped off hard. When you see that makes you thankfull it wasn't worse. Like I said before, glad neither of you got hurt bad.

Re: crash
that's a wreck alright--guess that why the dakota's have such a poor crash test rating--looks like the box is still good to go--those ute boxes weigh up pretty good by themselves
been a lotta people crash a lotta cars on those ks gravel roads
glad u escaped with minor injuries
the co roads in nw ks are banked like a race track & that's how we drove them--pitch'er hard and steer with the throttle--that was 40 yr ago and it still makes me smile
good luck on the repair

Definitely glad to hear you and the misses are OK, if slightly banged up.
Also glad to hear you got a replacement for such a great deal.

Re: crash
actually it wasnt that bad. i hooked my first figner and thumb near the button and was able to twist it kind of so it pulled the button towards the button hole. plus i pushed the button side into my stomach to help hold the button side while i pulled the button hole over to the button. i actually cut wood today and it wasnt that bad. until now. it is making my hand ache a little.

I don't want to give em a heart-attack. That is what would happen if I answered the door in the buff. Heck it almost scares me to death when I step out of the shower and look in the mirror.~Mancar1~
