Wrecked my Hustler!!!

[Jester]

Was heading to work this morning about 5:30 and hit a patch of ice. It slid the ass back and forth about 3 times and finally spun all the way around tagging the front left corner on a concrete overpass, spun me around tagged the left side of the bed in the very back. Then spun me down the freeway a couple times and slid to sudden stop when the truck slid into the guard rail on the drivers side. I had to climb out my window and step over the guard rail from the drivers seat.

Took out the front fender, grill, bumper, wheel, and possibly the steering box. It is now pukeing out oil. The bed is f#cked!!!! Was perfect! Now the rear most lower panel, the corner and the light housing are f#cked. Hit so hard backward that is shoved the exhaust foward about 2". It has a nice new bend in the header pipe and ripped every damn one of the hangers. Also flipped the shackle backwards on the drivers side leaf spring for me.

I did manage to drive it home VERY SLOWLY!! I went out and took pictures tonight but my damn computer won't detect my camer being plugged in. I'll keep trying and get some pictures up.

Thinking it might become a parts truck for the KC now.

Glad your ok...sounds like a hell of a ride.

[AtomChurch]

that is a bummer man. i got to see the truck in its full glory though!

[Jester]

I already told the wife not to expect a lot out of me after Christmas, my time will be spent outside. I HAVE to get the KC finished now.

[datto510]

Bummer man! that is (was?) a sweet truck! Is it fixable, dosent sound too good.:mad:

[Jester]

It is probably fixable. The thing is the cost to make it happen. It would need new sheet metal on the front. Of coarse the same fender I need for the KC. It will need an alignment after I get a new wheel. Exhaust is screwed. The side maker and tail light area is hammered. I just can't justify spending the money to fix it when I want to get the KC going. I have been thinking of using it for part anyway.

Hell, I'm just glad I was able to drive it home and take the Jeep to work. I was only 20 minutes late to work today. :D

:lol: Ya Thanks Bro

[jesusno2]

That sucks man when the wheather gets bad like this the risk for me, far out weight's a days wage. Glad your ok them old datto tuna cans don't hold up real well to concrete barriers.

[Guest DatsuNoob]

Shit man, sucks to hear about the truck I liked that one, hope you're not banged up too bad. The roads up here suck too, just cleared up recently. Atleast you're not completely "620-less" though, right? I look forward to seeing what you're gonna do with the KC (more leg room anyway :D).

[Bandit240]

Damn December is a bad month for 620's. Im glad mine wont be back on the road for another month or so.

 

Glad to hear that your ok.

[datman]

glad to hear you are alright. to bad about your truck.

[BEEBANI]

Damn dude, that sucks. And here you were just giving us shit for driving our datsuns in this weather.....that truck was so clean. Oh well, guess everything happens for a reason, gotta get busy on the kc now!

[G FORCE]

At least the spirit of it will live on in your KC! Glad you are ok.

[dat620]

sorry to hear about your ride, the good part is u r ok, the truck is just material , your safety is worth much more, with that said, GET TO WORK ON THE KING KAB, lol:lol::lol::D

[datsun dreamer]

That sucks! Glad you walked out of it! Datsuns are replaceable, but Ratsun members arent!! Cant wait too see what you do with your KC.

[Jester]

Thanks guys. I was pretty upset at first. It really was a great truck. That's why I bought a KC, so I could actually fit comfortably inside. Stuff happens for a reason. I guess I'm suppose to finish the KC sooner than I thought.

[datsunfish]

That way sucks. Sorry to hear but happy your ok. Keep us up to date on the kc and let us know what you might need. I imagine we could donate some parts in the spirit of X mas and all.

I am happy my 620 is up and running for this crap. I would prefer to bang it up than my 521 or 510.

[Jester]

The part that pissed me off the most is I was just commenting on how I didn't like driveing my Datto in the snow for lack of wrecking it. I have been driveing my Jeep instead. The one day I take the truck it gets f#cked up.:mad:

[Farmer]

Sorry to hear about your 620. Atleast you are fine.

maybe it was the tires that you said were the cheap walmart tire of a cheap tire :lol: i'm glad that you're ok and if you're going to part it how much would you sell the engine for?

[Jester]

Not selling anything just yet. I had to get rid of the other KC I had way to soon. City thought it was a neusence.(sp?) Assholes!

Tire brand has nothing to do with this. It's called mother nature......Bitch!

[cheg]

still a bummer that was a cool little rig but i think you're going to have to come down on the selling price

[Jester]

:fu:
