i bought this one out from under a couple a guys who were gonna scrap it.....they didn't have the money when they came to look at it....i did
the yoke is another story....it appears to have had bad u-joints before and they weren't fixed soon enough and the yoke got slapped around
.....i already found another one to replace it so its all good

been driving the truck for 2 days now...
on the way home from work today, i decided to grab something to eat....
sitting at a stop light...minding my own business....my head involuntarily smacks the back window
i've just been rear ended
i think to myself..."are you effing serious?"
get out to check the damage expecting to see a mangled bumper....
there was one....but it wasn't mine
truck walked away with a few scratches
can't even tell in the pic
i got all of the kids (16 y/o) info
debating what to do with it....i'm gonna sleep on it for now and think it over
my freshly rubber coated bumper will need recoating...
any opinions or advice will be appreciated

dangit!!! lol.
i've been rear ended twice(both times people were staring at my quad haha) first one put a small hole in the bumper(replaced) but the guys element was fubared!!!
second one was a civic-he hit DEAD square on my hitch hahaha. folded his hood up and all i had was a scuff on my reciever cover.
seeing as you only need to recoat the thing tell the kid $250 haha :)

no good updates really.....
been to cold to do anything these past few weeks
my fan clutch did seize up a month or so ago and i hard wired in an E-fan
and i finally re-timed it with a timing light and set the carb with a vac gauge to get everything just right...
she runs like new and i average about 17 mpgs
i plan on pullin the motor completely when the weather gets warmer and shes getting all new gaskets and seals.....she leaks a little bit of everything from everywhere
and since i've got a spare set of heads, they're gonna get a little bit of work done.....
i can honestly say that with the 20"+ of snow we got here in the midwest....i had ZERO troubles getting around....even pulled a few fullsize trucks out
08 f150 2wd
97 2500 dodge 4x4 (he didn't think i could pull him out and he almost told me to leave)
and i rescued a minivan and a handfull of sedans (a taurus and a malibu)
i only got stuck once when my dad and i were messing around in the snow but thats to be expected when goofing off
