Dam, what happened

Slid over a rock and damaged the chassis, cut the wiring loom, buckled the radiator mount, snapped the lower control arm and bent the sway bar and front shock, damn rock also buckled a wheel and killed my bumper.

$25k repair bill so got payed out. Sucks, loved that car and the 7 years of adventures it allowed me to have.

Ouch, that seems an excessive repair bill? How bent was the chassis? How big was the drop onto the rock?

[07hemi]

Didn't seem too bad to me, but I am no professional, first rock was about a foot high second was almost 3 feet, lucky it stopped me though, next stop was a huge gum.

Replaced the brushes in my alternator as the old ones died at the hand of a water/mud crossing and put in a dual battery monitor in the boot so I can keep an eye on whats happening under the bonnet when i'm at camp.

Very nice. Yep, makes you wonder what they were thinking having the alternator down below.
