Put the ol' girl down

She was a good truck right up until the frame broke! Yes the little truck that could, can no more. We were moving mulch in our yard with the bobcat(that is all we seem to do anymore these days) and I was backing up the driveway with Paul's trailer full of mulch and "snap", "crackle", "pop".
As you can see from the pictures the left side frame rail ripped and then crushed the right side. No Brian, it was not overloaded!! Yes Sherrie the pictures may not be clear, but trust me it is bad!!

After several visits from the insurance adjuster, yes they insure stupidity and freak incidents, they declare it must have a new frame. In case you need to know a new frame is 6 grand plus 41 hours of labor. We sold the truck to a "guy" and took the money to buy a new truck. And yes it will be a big boy truck this time.
