Bad day today. Heading south on I-15 just north of Vegas. Saw a road gator (hunk of tire) in the right lane (I was in the middle). Truck just ahead of me hits the gator and flips it into my lane. I hit the gator and took out my grill (yes, I did a full Mocky) and cracked the front lip. The lip will be trash but I think I can save the grill. I am going to try and Ty-Wrap it back in and fix it when I get home.

I went to the Hoover Dam today plus got an oil change but too pissed to post what few pictures I took. I may go to Death Valley tomorrow as Vegas doesn't really do anything for me.

Damn sorry to here about the incident. I honestly don't know why recap tires are allowed in the 21st century.

Glad you're ok

This seems to be quite common lately......On the way down to "SESM" H.T.G. took-out his undercarrage and 2 of his wheels, ruined...Jaydem did a 180 on the highway, trying to miss an airborn piece of 4x4, that had apparently fell off a truck...that HTG sent flying....!!!!!!Way too much litter and debris on the highways anymore......

I also know how easy it is to bust off the clips that hold the grill in place. Of course, you might run into a couple of S2000s in Cali that can fix it

Yeah. I think that the Grill Craft might have saved me from more damage. After that cheap little plastic grill is the radiator. That would have been a disaster.

The Grill Craft is bend slightly but I think I can fix it.
