The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Well we will let the photos do the talking. :(

I was going about 30-35 and was on a road where there was trees on each side and then there was open fields and sod fields on each side where a gust of wind took me for a ride and after it started sliding, that was it. I hit a marker poll, about 8-10 metal fence polls and 80 feet of barbed wire fencing.

Ouch. What happened? Fix your links.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Links fixed and info added.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Jeeze!

all those scratches are going to add up to a hefty bill, full insurance im assuming?

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

I got a friend that does body work if you are interested.
This weather is messing up everyone's day. -30 windchill tomorrow.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Ouch! That sucks! Hopefully they dont have to repaint the whole truck, I was expecting worse though, atleast no real body damage.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Ya full coverage and its getting fixed at Raymond in St. Paul which I have researched and found that they are the best around unless anyone else has a place they reccomend. Where I go they will fix it to be BETTER then showroom thats for dam sure because this truck was perfect before today unfortunately.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Well the worst is underneath where the 10 polls rapped up everything under the body. There is alot more damage then what you can see in the photos as well like interior trim busted up and all of the ground effects are fractured along with my $1,100 exhaust! The box is twisted by over 1/2 inch as well.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Ouch! Does Raymond use a baking booth to cure the paint? I had some bodywork done at Gale's in Blaine and they did an awesome job. They have a booth to bake the paint on.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Sears in Plymouth is the best Minnesota has to offer according to Don @ Dent Kraft (whom I trust). They fixed my fender when an evil flying lugnut got it. Not sure if they'd work on a Chevy though so you'd have to ask (they might since you have a specialty model).

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

That sucks! Just curious, but how do you slide that far only going 30-35 mph? An alternative to Raymond is the shop I work at. Fairway Collision and Automotive. It would be kind of a haul for you though, the shop is in Vadnais Heights.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

I was exadurating on the barbed wire slide but it was down hill a bit too.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

OMFG that sucks Kerry!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

I might be changing my mind. I have been there and forgot about them for some reason. Thanks Kracka!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Ya it really does. So much for some projects I had going on for the spring time with my car.

Anyone that needs parts for dsm's should buy my stuff so I can pay for the deductible. Please people help me out here.

Check out my FS threads!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Ouch, that's some heavy damage from what you described. The roads were definitely icy today.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

OMG that sucks dude!!! Sorry to hear about this.. but are you ok??? And I thought you had AWD so whats up with 30-35mph and sliding with AWD..............

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

It was really icy out today, 4 wheel/all wheel sometimes doesnt even help!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Ya nothing helped. Once it slid out it was done.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Bummer... thats a nice looking truck.. gl on getting everything fixed!!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Hate to see those photos. I hit ice recently and smushed up my BMW. If it's the really slick stuff there is nothing you can do once you start sliding, especially in a heavy vehicle. Hope you get it all sorted. I'm not usually a truck guy, but you've got so much clean work in to that thing I hate to see it battered and bruised.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Well its going in for fix, putting it all back to stock, selling it and the performance parts, and finding an EVO!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Here is a link to Gale's.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

OMG kerry, thats no good. I guess today was a really shitty day. I just got home and I think I spun a bearing in cylinder number 3. I hope everything works out for you.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Damn! Glad you're ok.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Sorry to hear. Hope it works out ok for you in the end.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Suckage! That is a really nice looking truck too!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

AWD doesn't prevent you from spinning out, especially if you don't have snow tires. I ended up spinning out right infront of my apartment building today. There's a sweeping right hand turn, the back end came around, and I ended up hopping a curb and putting it backwards into a snowbank. Good thing for the snow bank, other wise I would have went right into a tree.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

You came out better then I did. I guess if I would of been 100 yards infront or behind where the accident was I would of ended up in the woods so maybe it wasn't as bad as what it could of been. Brought it into Raymonds today and its going to take a few weeks for repairs it looks like.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

That sucks kerry.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Yes it sure does but hopefully in a few weeks it will be better then ever and if the body shop works with me I may have a cowl hood!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Total Loss. I will be shopping for new cars (EVO) so if you find a nice one shoot me the link.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

wow they totaled it out?? How much were was it going to take to fix it?

GL finding an Evo!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Well at least you dont have to wait till your truck sells now. Join evomn.net now, I believe there are a couple on there for sale still.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

This one's been on sale forever, but previous salvage titles'll do that.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

initial estimate was 14,000 but bound to be higher in the end

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

Thats nutz, Cant wait to see what you pick up next.

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

wow man that sucks. hope you get everything fixed. insurance claim maybe?

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

What about the blue evo for sale on here. Good luck with the car hunt!

Re: The Absolute Worst Has Happened!
 

are you going to buy it back from your insurance company and part out all the performance stuff? That ss engine has got to be worth a couple bucks more than whats usually in those trucks
