So today i had the rest of the day free, and my moms truck had a horrible noise on the front suspension, after a quick look i noticed the sway bar link bushings are worn, 2 of them are missing.
So i dig on my crap and i found 2 brand new links that i got when i wanted to add a rear sway bar to my truck, the 99.

Since my uncle and I dont have enough tools, i decided to go to my cousins yard to replace them, and hang out with him for the rest of the day. Since his truck was recently hit in an accident i wanted to go and see how bad it was.

i was driving down the road, at around 40 mph or so and suddenly this thing decided to cross the road infront of me. It came from infront of a big bus that was parked, so i didnt see it coming


they use this things in india to carry passengers, but they cause more damage than good around here. i believe they call them tuk-tuk in india.



I did all i could, i even almost hit another car and a bunch of pedestrians avoiding to hit the "bike"thing. i still wonder how i managed to control a drifting truck on loose gravel without hitting someone else.

I thank God im ok, i didnt kill anyone, a big ass semi trailer wasnt coming in the opposite lane and didnt terminate me like a bug, and the tuk-tuk driver and passenger came out walking with small injuries.

What pisses me off and is making me feel like a complete POS is the fact that i damaged my moms truck. and i just installed those mirrors instead of the flag ones it had.
She says that i would split them in half or flip over if i would be driving my truck.


The tuk-tuk owner is paying up all the damages.
I really hope he stands up for this and wont start bitching out when the $$ is requested.

Not your fault brother, I know it sucks to damage something that isn't yours but it was because someone did something dumb, not lack of paying attention on your part.

Could be alot worse, could have been another Ranger crossing, in which case, who knows what could have happened, thats like dividing by
Zero.
 
yeah, it's not your fault, accidents happen. that's why you have insurance. just be glad no one was seriously injured or killed, regardless of who's fault it was
 
That's a rickshaw I believe... Sucks you hit them but at least they'll be paying.
 
danm that sucks, i cant believe people drive those things in north america...
 
Damn, sorry to hear that man it sucks...but hey shit happens. Atleast everybody's still ok. Just hope it gets paid...and yeah,like was already said, That'll buff right out
 
That's not good man. As you know, I know my accidents and it really sucks. I'm sorry it happened to you. Good luck buddy, I hope it all works out
 
It'll all be alright, man. You lived to rape another day.

Trucks can be fixed.
 
Just saw you posted on Facebook and came here to see what happened. Not your fault so not much to worry about and hope the money gets paid for the damages too.
 
Sorry to hear that RSH, keep your head up brother. Everyone is alive and metal can be massaged back straight and repainted.
 
RSH.....glad you're O.K......stupid rikshaw driver! Hang in there RSH!
 
glad to hear your ok RSH, and just be glad that it wasn't what I did to my fathers truck :icon_twisted: and I'm really glad to read that the rickshaw driver is paying for the damages, it wasn't your fault don't beat yourself up about it. :icon_thumby:
 
Wrong place at the wrong time.
