With 3800 miles on the odometer I lost at Jousting with a tree. It ripped the driver-side flare off and damaged the fender sheet metal. The body work was $400, (Originally quoted $700, but I did the dis-assembly and prep to save coin.) Then I ordered a full set of PSC aluminum tube fender flares. Once all said and done I had about $1300 in total expenses.
I tell everyone that joins the club I'm in... "If you're wheeling a DD you need to be prepared to spend $1000-$1500 or leave it on the pavement and grab a seat with someone else. Most times you are only out the cost of your fuel, but when things go wrong it gets expensive REALLY fast."

Nice flares! The great thing about repairs you can always upgrade to something way better!:rock:
That's how I got one ton axles... It was actually my wife's idea... We broke the dana 35 twice, and I was gonna swap a 44... She said, if you're already swapping, why not go with 60's? Sold!!
