Oh no!!! That stinks. How'd that TF bumper hold up?
Looks like maybe a fender, hood, and headlight and you'll be back in business??

Eh hoods alright...ish. But headlight, blinker, and fender are junk. Bumper took it like a champ. Bent it in a bit but the winch came in handy

replaced the lug nuts on my D1. Had a tire lose the tread the other day and found the wrench wouldn't fit over the lug nuts because they were all bent up (chrome covers) I was able to get the tire changed using a socket and pounding it on the nut to remove them. I would hate to be out on the road trying to get those lug nuts off without a socket and hammer... Got 4 new tires, went with a bit bigger tire and it rubs the front bumper a bit on tight turns. I can live with that!

Removed the instrument cowl to access the switches as only one of them was working. Verified voltage was getting to the switches. Disassembled and repaired them, replaced burned out bulbs as well. The front fog lamps still not operable, will check the relay next.

Those switches pull out from the front FYI. No tricks, just grab and pull firmly.
