RTE Saves another one!

[FIRE74]

Special thanks go out to RTE for the protection there rear bumper provided me yesterday when I stopped on the road for a school bus, when a F-350 that had slowed from about 60mph to 35-40mph and struck me in the rear and drove me about 20' from the inpact area, bumper made out with a small sratch on the bottom and a slight bend to the tow hitch when the truck went under mine (how? I have no idea ) The F-350 was towed away and I drove home just fine :bigok: I am just a little sore from the seat belt. Thanks! Steve

Frame looks good dropped it of to a friends body shop today and he took a look at it (it was my first thought too)

Although it was a few years ago, I was sitting with my (then) fiance' at a light here in Sacramento when a yota Sienna (9 months old) rear ended me @ 30-40MPH. We were in my '92 LSE RRC. Pushed me about 15' further into the intersection. I drove away, his engine went into the interior. Rover --- 1, Toyota --- 0

But did tweak the frame/body. Door gaps are "variable", but open and close great. Even the lift gate works fine. But like Steve, we were a little sore. Spent 2 weeks in Hawaii a little less "active" than we wanted.

Like D Chapman said, looking at either building a trail rig/dredge hauler or using bits on a '95 LWB if I can find one priced well.

Shopboy's 88 Rangie has been hit twice. I'm only $200 shy of twice the purchase price in insurance settlements.

Both times, rear-ended by women talking on cell phones. Both times, he drove away. Both times, they went home in ambulances.

The kid still drives it and it will become my backup when he moves to Chicago.

Damb, glad you're ok dude.

Damn man, glad to see you're alright. Sucks to be the F-350 but it solidifies my belief that RTE is by far the best investment for a rover.

Glad you're okay. Let us know how it turns out.

Well Dan you were right! When I got the rover out of the shop for the transfer case "leak", the new transfer case they installed did come with the CDL nipple! (can you say nipple on here?)

Thank You everyone for the kind words and thoughts :bigok:
