The SmokedRam and BigGirl repair by Tim Urban at Alternative Koncepts

[SmokedRam]

So as you know, BigGirl and SmokedRam were involved in a little fender bender a couple weeks ago. Here are some pics of the before, during and after repair, performed by none other than Tim Urban at Alternative Koncepts in Brandon, Florida.

[SmokedRam]

Me too, Johnny and exactly that's all that matters that nobody was hurt. The truck LOOKS AMAZING!!! Tim does great work for sure. I can't wait to see Lee's BigGirl when Tim is done with her.

[SmokedRam]

Explain what you mean by that...

[RamSport97]

Looks great! Love the color matched grill. Glad everyone was alright!

[Fla 66 cuda]

Looks great Adam they did a nice job, too bad that front plate distracts from the look your trying to get.

Yeah, I am hoping that Daniel get the SEMopar license plate deal fastened up soon, so I can get a plate that will blend in better.

[SmokedRam]

My bumper was damaged and replaced...the height of the front of Lee's truck and the height of the back of my truck, and the angle of impact allowed the tailgate of my truck to take 90% of the damage. Lee's tow hooks slid right between the bottom of my tailgate and the top edge of my bumper and actually damaged the bed sill.

Unfortunately, Lee's truck was actually damaged MORE than mine. His grille, passenger side headlight, bumper cover and I believe his passenger side fender were damaged.

Had it been a straight on impact, I am sure more of my truck would have been damaged, but it wasn't.

I really don't appreciate the "insurance fraud" comment though, playing around or not. It was way off base and uncalled for.

[repoman]

done! --- btw grill does look good!

Im sorry Nick, but I too, agree with Lee and Adam here. Although you may have intended it to be a joke, thats not something you joke around about on a public forum. This is the internet and things can spread like wild fire. I wasnt with them when this happened, but they called me after it happened, cause they were on their way to meet me for lunch. You dont know what its like to drive a lifted truck. Lifted trucks can do MASSIVE amounts of damage with little to no effort.

Insurance fraud is also something to not joke about. It is a HUGE problem today. I was involved with an insurance fraud case, and my insurance company ended up shelling out 30K for some dumb lady who has a long history of insurance claims.

My accident with her was identical to what happened with Lee and Adam. I was behind this lady and we were both stopped. Light turned green (she was the first car in our lane) I was behind her, she started to accellerate as did I then for no reason at all she slammed on her brakes. I was probably at 3mph (AT VERY MOST) when I contacted her, and cause $9,182.87 in damages to her car and $347.27 in damage to my truck.

Damage to my truck (Left side of bullbar and I tweeked my pass side bumper bracket)

And remember this very important fact. 3MPH....
Her car

So their accident, while it may not make sense to you as to how it happened, was just that. An accident. We all need to be happy that no one was hurt. As a matter of fact, something I have said to both Lee and Adam, they are both lucky that it happened the way it did. It happened, they are dealing with it, and things are being made right. No court. No Ticket. No Insurance Hikes. No Drama. I was ticketed, I have to go to court and I have been dealing with this shit since May 7th when it happened.


I apologize for the rant, and I know you have a weird sense of humor, but the only thing I can ask is to think before you post. Try and think of how someone else without your sense of humor may read or take it and post accordingly.

I deleted your other posts because I didnt not feel the need for others to read your sarcastic remarks and quite frankly dont appreciate that kind of sarcasm on our site.



EDIT - Thanks for apologizing Nick.

[repoman]

got it...SORRY WAS MEANT AS A JOKE DID NOT MEAN TO CREATE A PROBLEM FOR ANYONE!!!

My bumper was damaged and replaced...the height of the front of Lee's truck and the height of the back of my truck, and the angle of impact allowed the tailgate of my truck to take 90% of the damage. Lee's tow hooks slid right between the bottom of my tailgate and the top edge of my bumper and actually damaged the bed sill.

Unfortunately, Lee's truck was actually damaged MORE than mine. His grille, passenger side headlight, bumper cover and I believe his passenger side fender were damaged.

Had it been a straight on impact, I am sure more of my truck would have been damaged, but it wasn't.

I really don't appreciate the "insurance fraud" comment though, playing around or not. It was way off base and uncalled for.

To add to this, often damage done in an accident doesn't make sense...just doesn't always add up.

For example, the damage to my front bumper and to Adam's rear bumper makes sense to me. Reason being, Adam's rear bumper is metal and my front bumper cover is one piece of molded ABS/plastic. Adam's rear bumper was damaged and replaced, although the damage was minimal it still needed to be replaced. My bumper cover, actual bumper behind the cover and one of the mounts were damaged and are being replaced. The bumper cover got into my passenger fender and the fender needed minor repairs and repainting.

What doesn't make sense a lot of sense to me is above the bumpers. The damage done to Adam's tailgate was quite bad. What hit his tailgate was my grill and passenger headlight. My grill only had one crack in the lower right corner about 2-1/2 inches long. The bottom mounting tab on my passenger headlight was cracked, not even all the way through.

So yeah, Nick, even though your comment was off base and effed up I agree the damage doesn't make much sense. But like I said, it doesn't always make sense. Kevin's accident referenced above is a PERFECT example...$9200 damage to one car and only $350 to the other.

Moving on...Lou I will have pics up soon. Like Adam said, I am picking up my truck on Friday just after lunch. And I can hardly wait! LOL


EDIT: Appreciate the apology, Nick.

EDIT AGAIN: I am soooooo gonna need a new siggy!! :D

FINISHED, and with a new look:

And while it was at the shop I thought it would be a good time to remove the chrome door spears. Unfortunately, the paint underneath was bubbled so they were painted to match the body.

I am very happy with how she looks. However, the tint on the headlights now look like shit, kind of a brownish-gray color. So I am currently online shopping for new headlights with black housings, no amber strip on the bottom and clear corners.

And here is a shot of both SmokedRam's and BigGirl's new looks that I took today when Adam dropped my off at the shop.

If anyone needs body work or painting, whether custom or cookie cutter, I highly and confidently recommend Tim @ Alternative Koncepts.

[SmokedRam]

Thats a bad ass pic right there...I am stealing it...LOL

I told Tim on Facebook, this all started out as an accident, but really turned out to be a blessing.

[Fla 66 cuda]

Looks great both of ya'll [i'm glad it all came out be be a happy rear ending] pun intended.

[BAD HABIT]

Lee in my honest opinion some n-fab steps would really pull the look in, even with the little Chrome in your wheels they would still pull it off greatly.

BAD HABITS BADASS EVO ON TAPATALK TRANSPARENT...

[4XLGator]

Thanks, Art and Lou!

Jay, I don't like N-Fab steps.
