Seems like the cool thing for ORTB members to do lately is to get into an accident. I felt left out, I suppose.
Stopped in low visibility, snow flurry conditions. 18 yr old kid doesn't know to slow down early, I guess. Anyways, his Toyota challenged MDB Fab to a thumb war.
His car, pretty much destroyed. Mine... bent the upper part of my tire carrier, bent my tailgate, tore my trasharoo open, and I have a busted caliper mounting bracket and right rear rim.
No injuries and the other guys insurance accepted liability. So no deductible, couple grand in my pocket, and a rental car (Jeep Patriot )
Got the parts I need to make it driveable again on order! No frame or axle damage! Tire carrier is still somewhat useable.
