SOOOO glad he is ok. You should have told me, I would have come down there yesterday and seen him. As for Jessica....she did him well. I am sure he is glad he wasnt in a FJ cruiser hitting a truck!!

Vic, recover quick and get another bad ass ride!!!

Damn! I'm glad he's OK. Modern cars with crumple zones and airbags are great, but there is still something to be said for a full size truck....

Jelly 52. THAT-IS-AWESOME!

I'm happy to hear he is ok. I hit a semi with my 2005 tundra back in 05 at 70 mph and was lucky enough to walk away. I know of a lightning that is available....

And you have a perfectly good 4x4 donor there (even has rebuilt transmission)......make sure you tell insurance about most recent repairs. They will add that in to payout.

Saw the email with that second pic last night and my heart dropped. Really glad to hear Tio is good to go. Sad to hear Jessica is no more though...

I look forward to seeing what Vic ends up with next. F-150 supercab could be cool, or another bronco would be sweet as well.

I put my vote in on something with some wheelbase too!!!

Don't get me wrong....I love my Bronco and wife will not sign off on Ex-cab F150. Says they are ugly and don't have enough interior space.

I was going to say a crew cab F-250 (92-97 body style of course) with the d50 and a 7.3l diesel would be SWEET, but that may be a bit of a stretch so I left it at ex-cab F-150.

This is also for sale...

92-96 broncos or f150s are whathe asked me to start looking for.

Saw a nice 95 f1 on rdc, sent the guy an email, waiting to hear back.

Vehicles can be replaced, loved ones can't. Glad he is ok!

Holy smokes! Very glad to hear he's OK T. Similar thing just happened to a friend at work and he didn't fair too well. Hope everything works out to Vic's advantage with this. Sometimes a Merry Christmas means you're just happy to be alive.

Wow. Makes you think - No replacement for steel. Glad everyones okay.

Was their any ticketing done to the driver of the semi?

hobbyturnedobsession · Thu Dec 23, 2010 3:31 pm

Oh wow T that sucks. I'm glad to hear your bro is okay and that really bites about Jessica. Good protection. Like they say, vehicles can be replaced loved ones cant.

Hey guys! First off, want to thank you all, this place truely kicks ass, so many have sent texts or emails asking how Vic is doing, I truly appreciate it.

He is home as of the Thursday (they made him spend one night in the hospital) and is doing well. I spent the day with him yesterday, he was really sore, today he says he feels much much less sore and way better.

Today, truly giving thanks that I have my family all in good health, and thanks to my extended wheeling family!

A few more pics guys.... by the way, big thumbs up to keifer, his engine cage held up like a champ!! From doors back, looks like everything is salvageable. Will likely buy back to strip, and build another, obviously plent of components still in good shape here. One C/O looks like the shaft might be slightly bent, the other looks fine. Both air bumps are good. Beams look like maybe tweaked, radius arms look ok, but I would not want to use them, without at least buying new heims.

Talked to Vic a few times, and we are thinking of a full front package from Keifer (beams, arms, and his new engine cage) for a new build, just makes more sense

DAMN!

hobbyturnedobsession · Tue Dec 28, 2010 10:27 pm

Holy shista! Man how fast was he going?

tcm glx · Post by **tcm glx** » Tue Dec 28, 2010 10:30 pm

About 40, but remember, he hit a semi, specifically the trailer. The semi doesn't have crumple zones.
