Well you always here about the bad luck of getting in wreck leaving the dealer lot....well mine wasn't quite that bad....less than 48 hours and 120 miles got clipped in the driver side rear tire by a spinning jeep compass on a MI freeway. It was still early AM, dark and had turned from rain to big snow flakes...34 F on the climate temp. Had no time to react other than think oh S----T.
We were both able to get out of the spin and on the shoulder without further incident.
Thankfully no injuries and a miracle we both drove away from it.
Drove the 700 additional miles back to NC. Drove perfect.
I think the 37's and beadlock saved me and Braptor....anything less and I am sure the tire bead would have been broken and the end result would have been alot different.
I will have the repair company/dealer go over the alignment but i doubt it is off. this thing is built like a tank.
Still makes me shake thinking about "what could have been" and very grateful for the only minor damage.
