And that…is story time.Gather round boys and girls its Stan's story time again.
I was a young 18yr old. Full energy dumb as a rock( that second part mweh ..well) a Buddy of mine calls me says hey got a job replacing a sidewalk I says okay I will help well we busted up 50ft. Of sidewalk . Hauled it away dug out for the curb framed and poured it all for 400.00 a piece and about got a heat stroke. Well, the guy stiffed us the money . Anyway a month or 3 goes by buddy of mine calls me and says hey want to help on another concrete job,( having grown exponentially smarter in a short while ) I said nah I pass. Well he did the job and told me says hey the guy I did that job for was like 75 yrs. Old just got out of prison for mail fraud He was a Mafia member ( cant say the name on here) . He says I think we can get our money from the other job I said oh yeah how?
He says well, I ask the old guy if He was gonna stiff me like the last guy did and He said absolutely not , and tell ya what just to prove it give me the guys name and I will have 2 guys from Pittsburgh come and break both his legs .
Well, fortunately for me my buddy turned that part down and took him at his word and He also got paid .
Okay story times over.

Sorry that happened. Glad you’re figuring out the plan forward.Well for those that follow my build, after a year and a half of HARD wheeling my truck it finally came back to bite me. Was in a deep creek bed at Hawk Pride on Whiskey Run and while negotiating one of the various zig zags, I zigged when I should have zagged and thought my rear was clear and turned more of my attention to the front and started passenger and caused the rear to slide off a rock and CRUNCH I hit a big ole tree root on the bank. The guy behind me comes across the radio "Trent, your tail light is hanging out". I get out to pop it back in and find a big old dent at the top of my bed.
So this morning I took it to the body shop to get a quote on repairs to claim it on my insurance. I am very likely going to use that estimate to then exercise my right to choose my repair facility which will be my buddies offroad shop and take the big leap to a Motobilt Bobbed bed. I have not been a fan of the looks of the bed, but while doing research on bobbed beds (Jeep6, Motobilt, Wardog) I came across the video of the Motobilt guys beating the crap out of the corner of the bed with a baseball bat in the same place essentially I damaged on mine. This took me from not really considering it to placing it as the front runner, bc I am not going to stop wheeling and its very likely I will bump something else. So we will see what the estimate comes out to be.
BTW the body shop was AWESOME. I chose a local smaller body shop instead of one of these big ole gobble up the little guy body shops and the gentleman helping me kept telling me how awesome my truck was and he loved how I made it look good AND actually use it for what its built for. He even noticed some scratches on my rear bumper and bed slider and said he was going to include those in the estimate(even tho I am pretty sure they are unrelated to the tree smash.)
Also heavily considering chaning my springs out for 3.5" or 4.5" springs and bumping up to 40's... Then really the only thing left I will want/need is PSC but I HATE having no steering while aired down and bound up.
Thats what I said lol.Well it’s dented. Time to bob the bed!!
