So I had a bit of an accident aqt the weekend, came off the road and took out a telegraph pole!! plus a few fence posts, No damage what so ever from the head on pole collision, just snaped it strait off! The paint work has suffered quite a bit though from the barbed wire on the fence. Which is a pain as I had just painted the rear end of the Tub 2 months ago.

trouble is the less movement in your truck. on impact the more shock that the occupants of the truck take and the obstruction.
bet that was a big shock to the body... hope your alright pal .

just a thought how does that effect any claims in the event of an accident with another car now you changed the euro n cap safety thing

Everyone was Ok, Just an allmighty Bang and sailed strait through! I am not sure on insurance, also the bumper is supposed to be air bag compatible but i am not sure how!? A photo from the front would show no difference Zippy, but I may take one of the Pole when I go back to fix the fence. Im pretty pissed off about the paintwork though, maybe its a chance to get that complete respray!
