^^^You're supposed to shut off the engine before dispensing fuel!!! 
Realistic budget of a 2wd -4wd and goodies build
- Thread starter Greg5OH
- Start date
Um.... OK, I'll get right on that......
When dispensing diesel, I almost never turn the truck off....
I normally shut off my gassers when I am filling them..... however, there have been a couple of times I just ran up to put gas in for the wife (have been daily driving the truck for quite a while) I've pulled in, filled up and left... and realize on the way home that I forgot to shut the car off......

Highway ride along. too much damn traffic these days after the holidays are over to get a solid uninterrupted ride.

Wll boys..i f****d up.
first msitake-goign too fast around the corner. Drove there yesterday should have known the groudn under the snow is all ice.
Went to brake going into the corner, felt slip, panicked locked up all 4 isntead of giving more steering andlge *** throttle for the truck to pull out of the turn, boom into the ditch and tree. Cab roof and B pillar is all manged, front pass door is destroyed, A pillar also moved in some. Front core support seems to have shifted a bit as well because it cracked my rad where the tubes meet the tank. Doesnt look twisted so im hoping i can warranty it.
Got a lead for a 95 CC bare cab for 700, but then plus the two doors. minimum 900-1100 im thinking, dont got that kinda money right now.
So will do what any other Polak would do back in the motherland, hammer, dowel, cut and weld. I am most concered for the A pillar. glass is all smashed -got a enw windshield like 3 months ago!, so thats 160 for the new windshield..)
Would also need a passenger side ambulance style mirror. the mint ones that IDIot sent me and I had on...well you can see the one side is mangled.
my buddy is letting me borrow his old little nissan hardbody 4x4 truck in the time being, so i can at least haul some doors home or something.
I am thinking of gettign a 4 ton portapwoer from HF.problem is i don't know where to hook up to to try to pull this thing into relatively normal shape..
I also do have a 60" farm jack with teh spreader attachment i coudl use, and woudl prefer over buyign the portta power as that saves me 120 bucks.
anyone got a passenger side mirror like the ones i had on the truck I can buy off them? could use two doors and a fender (fender dont care much about). I knwo we only have liek 1 or 2 memebers in the MI area, not feasable to drive out to the east or west or south coast for doors.
ill get some more pics tonight.

OUCH! MY CONDOLENCES MAN!
oah, and my poor mirror.... sorry, had to!
i actually had everything you need to fix this a few months ago, all scrapped now.
i still have a door And a fender, but shipping would be gnarly.
after fixing the rad, she should still be driveable?

wondering if someone coudl do me a favor and provide some measurements.
windsheid left to right top and bottom, and diagonal across the windshield.
across the top of the roof, a pillar to a pillar (start of the drip rail)
over top of the roof between the B pillars. drip rail to drip rail. With a picture of how you measured it too if it is not too much to ask.
please and thank you.
Im hoping that mayeb i can put an anchor bolt in the shop floor and use porta power to full the roof into line if spreading it from the inside doesnt work.

Breaker! Breaker!
That bulge is the cab roof makes me sad for you sir. Glad you're ok and made it home with the truck.
IDIoit probably has measurements on tap I'd get them for you, but we are looking hitting single digits and a few more 8nches of snow before the mail even runs here!
Did you have anything for extra wieght on the bed? I haven't gotten to move the Enterprise since the snow yet (not looking forward to it with an open diff), waiting on the loaner injector to drop in my mailbox, but even in rain during the time I've had the truck, I've kept in mind that it's a heavier truck than I'm used to and I've seen and experienced what the wieght and momentum of this heavy rigs can do when they cut loose. Worst feeling ever is loosing traction on the road. My worst was in this little '08 Hyundai Accent we have at 25 mph! Pea gravel on a backroad corner and my buddy had time to pull his arm in, roll the window up and ask me if we were going in the 5' ditch.
I do have a new drivers door for OBS, not painted yet, but the passenger door I have has a little rust on the bottom seam (factory original). Also have new weather stripping for one front door still in the bag. But I'm in OH.

oh yes you are deep in ohio. I could toledo area.
No weight, i was in 4wd. but when you lock up all 4 wheels with the brakes on ice nothing will help ya. Thats the rookie mistake, panaicking and slamming the brakes. if i feathered it i might been able to either A) stop in time B) steer more and apply power.
Although it is counterintuitive to add gas when you think you will hot something, im sure the front end would have have dug in the 5" of snow and pulled me around the corner. ah man, a little more to the left and i would have avoided everything and jsut ended up down the ditch which the truck probably would have crawled out of.
But hey, it happened.
Yes i am thinkign how to get that bulge out of the roof.. clearly the A pillar was pulled in as well which cracked the windshield, that concerns me.
Im thinking to find a nice thick tree on my property i can drive up next to, weld a plate with a hook somewhere behind the B pillar, adn pull it straight out. I jsut need things to be straight, any gaps os tears in the metal I can fill in.

Since the B pillar was pushed so far in, far enough to bulge the roof, it pulled the top corner in. So when it pulled your A pillar in, it also probably pulled your C pillar in. Rear window has more give in the glass-to-cab seal.
A younger buddy of mine overcorrected on pea gravel after being run off the road and struck a guardrail a few years back (summer). First gen Ranger landed on its side and crushed the same part of the roof line (and split the side-to-roof seam). Back glass literally popped out of the socket, seal and all and landed on the gravel uncracked.
Don't have a vocational school nearby do you? Most will have an auto body shop with a frame rack. Usually they'll check it on the rack and pull the body back out (they work a lot with unibodies now too) for free or a pizza donation. May have to wait for projects to finish, since they are educational centers, they take their time to learn.

yup its all sorts of nasty.
I know this woudl be no big deal at a frame shop, hook up to teh B pillar and pull the whoel thing out. keep going along the length of the drip rail till everythign was straight.
I knwo it looks pretty nasty near the front a pillar where it pulled away from the drip rail
