Ah, hello Dad. Seems me and the boys had some trouble with the Jeep today, Bob's brother's giving me a ride home. Don't worry, it's just a small dent....
LMAO:beerchug:
I had some thing like that happen back in 1979 with a week old white T/A with T-tops. It involved a "frozen" river.

Please do tell! :beerchug: :bigthink:

Ok, here we go. A friend of mine fell head over heals for a brand new loaded, white Pontiac T/A with t-tops.
Now this is where it get's a little fuzzy. I know the car was a 79, but it must have been 1980 when he bought it, because it was the fishing derby on the river and that happens in January each year. So one week after he bought it we were out on the river at the "fishing shack" doing what young guys do.:beerchug:
So we were "fishing" all day, and it was beer thirty again, black of night and my buddy was going up town for another 1/4 barrel of beverages. Next thing here he was coming back on foot just wild mad, hollering something that will not be repeated here.
He got off the main trail on his way back to town and the car fell into the ice, three wheels fell through.
Being your typical rednecks of the day we were going to pull it out before our local law enforcement agent was called. Well someone chiseled enough ice to get a chain to the rear end and the other to a 4X4 and started tugging. It moved very little so we hooked on another 4X4 and after some time it finally let loose.
Next morning we got together to clean things up from the night before and found out that the T/A (brand new T/A) buckled right in the middle, the t-tops wouldn't close, and the door gaps were more than they were supposed to be. Basically, JUNK! I'm thinking falling through the ice is what did it in, but the pull didn't help matters much. The car was totaled by the insurance company.
My redneck story.

Good story Todd!
No wonder your buddy was ticked off!

EricR 04-23-2013 09:53 PM

Great story Todd. :beerchug:

ACecil 04-23-2013 11:26 PM

Thanks for the story, Todd!

drglinski 04-23-2013 11:26 PM

It's ok, it's a Jeep Cherokee. No big loss. :biggrin2:

I want to know what they thought they would do after they pulled the broken truck up the little hill. Were they gonna fix it right there? Why not call a wrecker to pull it out of the hole and tow it home before totally beating the crap out of it? Oh to be young and stupid. Good thing we didn't all have cameras when I was young and stupid. No evidence.

That looks like coal dirt they were stuck in. I wonder if they were at Rausch Creek here by my house.

cubcadet 04-24-2013 04:20 PM

:biggrin2:ROFL nice story too todd:beerchug:

drglinski 04-24-2013 05:22 PM

Too many chiefs and not enough indians...and not one of them knows what they are doing. I'm glad my parents raised me better than this- "back up and get a run on it" I kept waiting for the tow strap/chain to snap and do some real (personal) damage.

davcog 04-25-2013 09:16 AM

That is what you get when you won't get your hands dirty. A little digging would have gone a long way in getting the Jeep out with little or no damage.:bash:

reedwi 04-25-2013 10:24 AM

Sure were a lot of idiots trying to get one jeep free :)
