    It can be fixed for sure, my initial thought was the frame got tweaked but once they lifted the truck I got a better look and the frame is solid, it was just the way it was sitting. Rear steer hydraulics need rebuilt, air bag supports need rebuilt, middle axle needs to be replaced as it was...

    One more pic My phone is at 20% but when I get it charged I'll add more info. No one got cited, and since Florida is a no fault state they found me at fault for insurance purpose because I was blocking a lane of travel. I will be taking swift to court over this, and subpoena the dash cams...

    Once I talk to the owner and get the ok I'll post what happened. Jeep and df texted me and I kinda gave them skinny. Mainly someone to talk to besides my hysterical wife. Garrett, on a side note, I got the tow bar in the car.

    I know, I was standing on the side of the exhaust to see if the down pipe was going to pop off again and just watching the stuff pour out, not knowing it was raining down on the drivers side where my wife was screaming at me, lol The looks I was getting from the other drivers in the lot was...

    Well it worked. Holy crap batman the shower of oil that came out when the wife floored it. Make it rain was the term you could use, make it rain oil and degreaser. Down pipe it still attached, looks like it needed a little tender mechanic love. No drano was used in this, just some good ole...

    Ok inspected the exhaust, it was way off. Got out the pry bar and beat it in and took the impact to the tightening clamps. Put some degreaser in the stack and letting it sit for a couple hours. Crossing my fingers.

    I've got all the windows closed except the driver kick pannel and the sleeper pop out window. Got the ventaliator on full blast and it seems to be working good. Thinking about how to clean the exhaust stack so I can put it back together
