izzo Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 I was able to fit this big ass tach in my vent in my orange wagon Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 That looks about how big these two tach's were. Perfect fit but not permanent! Quote Link to comment

I can't remember the exact model that one was, it was the biggest I think? Maybe not... I didn't do what you did, I just removed the vent and stuffed it in there. The width made it so that I had to kind of shove it in a hole like the vent was a virgin :lol: It didn't move nor flop around / come out unless you made it. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Horrible 5/10 day for me :mad: :( wrecked into a curb. Two thrashed tires (Brand new), Front passenger wheel destroyed (Probably won't find another), Passenger strut and some suspension bent, And to top it all off the FUCKING TOW TRUCK DRIVER PUNCTURED MY GAS TANK :o :bye: I have the struts and suspension to replace it already, But that tank I picked up a few months back and was perfect!!!! I can't explain how pissed I am :angry: :mellow: :mellow: Now I have to find not 1 but 2 relatively hard to find Datto parts again...Haven't taken any pics yet.

Draynor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 This is what I mean by "Too much going on" Pics don't show how bad it is! This is why I was in that area! Quote Link to comment
hobbes_the_cat Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Huge bummer man. At least it didn't mess up the body. Struts are easy to swap out. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Yeah it is. At least I have extra struts. I was so close to slamming into a 2ft. tall rock! Quote Link to comment
oldskoolvws Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Sorry that sucks, but I have to ask, what happened? Looks like your were in a go slow zone... Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Didn't happen in that spot with the caution tape. That is due to the tow truck driver puncturing my gas tank on the way in. Gas went everywhere and apartments over reacted. They are awesome about letting me leave my seemed up car there though. They are just supper pissed at the tow driver.I crashed out in Vancouver. Basically lost control on a corner, Due to my broken hand partly. Hit the curb at about 25-30 bounced onto it rode it for 20ft. then barley missed a huge rock! My car would have been fubard if I hit that. Quote Link to comment
Tristin Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Are you making the tow company pay for your gas tank? Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted May 11, 2013 Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 what he said,and how did he puncture it. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 We ended up agreeing on $60 (was supposed to be $105). I am debating if I should call his insurance...I did pay $50 for that tank, and my tank I am getting now is $50. Quote Link to comment

I am debating if I should call his insurance...I did pay $50 for that tank, and my tank I am getting now is $50. I dont know if thats really worth all the effort. I would say that if youre not out any money and the negotiations were decent (he wasnt a total d-bag), then I would just drop it. The important thing is they paid for it. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 He had this tow dolly for the rear wheels. I am a little low in the back, and when we went over the bump boom, hole in tank from sharp aluminum. He was gonna tow it on the back wheels but then said he will not do it because one lug was missing. So we agreed on the tow dolly and it fucked everything up. Quote Link to comment
Draynor Posted May 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2013 Eh, He was a total ass-hat! But I also would feel bad, cause I know how running a small business can be. Not going to call anybody, That just added a big frustration I didn't need. He could have been a lot nicer though. Saying oh fuck, I am not making anything at $60, and other smart ass remarks. Awesome day huh?Time to get cracking to be ready for Canby. Quote Link to comment
