My Eventful Day!

Here are pictures of my truck that had fallen off a raised mechanics rack at a local Goodyear.

Any damage to your truck?

[rdnckgrl78]

Yes there is damage to my truck.  The insurance company for Goodyear will be contacted tomorrow morning as I take my truck to our body guy.

The front bumper needs to be replaced, the front DS quarter panel and fender, the driver door, the hood and the brake dust cover so far.  Once the mechanic looks through everything we will know forsure.

Here are a few more pictures.

check out the 3 race car drivers right front of truck!  They look proud of their work!  And so life-like!

[Wrightwood]

I had noticed those guys also.
Maybe more appropriate if it was the 3 Stooges

By the time word got out about the truck the staff from the Auto Zone had come by, the neighboring fast food joints were coming by, and customers were leaving as fast as they came in.

The funny thing is they had defaced Jeff Gordon by adding a mustache and other "facial" things.

Dang redneck!!! Sorry to hear about that. That truck looks pretty new......

Its a 2005, and possibly totaled.  We took it into the body shop yesterday and the guy told me I should not have driven the truck because it was unsafe.  I guess I will find out soon.

Totaled? It must have really mess up the under carriage! 

[rdnckgrl78]

Well when it fell four feet it looks like it may have tweeked the frame.  At the very least the bed and rear end are tweeked and will have to be replaced.

Also the rear axle looks like it was pushed to the right, possibly bending the frame a bit in the rear.

What was their excuse for the truck sliding off like that?

[Sagebrush]

Maybe you can work it and get yourself a 2007!!

They are idiots 

From the moment they put it in the air my husband said it was going to fall.

Sounds like it! I have never seen a rack like that used for changing all 4 tires. Every place we have gone uses the racks that have the arms that come out the sides of the two post and lift it up.

[rdnckgrl78]

They were using the alignment rack, and instead of balancing the truck on the four corners they decided t balance the rear on the differential and the front on two pegs that were close together.

For the last 4 years that I had my Toyota Previa mini-van, I asked all the mechanics/tire shop guys to let my van fall!  It was turning into a money pit at the time, and I would have been happy to get rid of it this way.  Alas, no one would oblige me.  I guess I should have headed inland...

Sorry you had to deal with this rdnckgrl!
