well this isn't about the yota so i know half of you are already going to tune out.... it all started with the idea to take my kids to anza borrego to see some flowers and just camp out overnight. after the 50mph windstorm (sandstorm) sleepless night i decided to take my kids to see some of the historical sights we headed for Carrizo Creek Stage station and needless to say the creek had become quite overgrown and DEEP.... by the time i realized that i was in over my head it was too late i pinstriped badly both sides of my 2004 dodge 2500 4x4, broke the passenger side mirror on a tree and just about stuck the truck in a mudhole that was about midway up the doors on the truck . it sits on 35s with a little lift and thank God that it's a diesel and has gobs of power because even the mighty fartruk would have been swallowed by this hole. you figure after ruining a mirror causing unknown other damage to the truck and basically just boggering up a pratically pristine truck, that God would smile down upon me and that would be the end of my trucks trouble...., but no my friends it continues.... after the desert adventure I loan my truck and trailer to a friend that has a jeep project going. well i wake up this morning to find that my truck was returned but, with a very large dent/scrape in the tailgate that my buddy did not notice (he was backing up the trailer with the tailgate down and jackknifed it into the jack) no worries after pointing out the damage my buddy agreed to pay for it no problem(he's a really good guy despite the Jeep)... so now i'm down a day of buffing, a broken mirror glass and a tailgate, i figure no worries my brother in law is the parts manager at the hemet dodge dealership where i got the truck i call to ask him aboout the tailgate and he says dodge has discontinued the mirror glass and the only possible replacement for my mirror is to buy power heated mirrors like mine at $350 his cost :argue: well just another fun weekend in the desert i guess, no one got hurt and it can all be fixed... we still had fun too!!! i need a friigin beer!!!!
