I went to the store for hot dog buns, and drove home very carefully down our long and winding road to avoid the deer that have been running crazy lately. We got home and I went to back down the driveway as always. Well the reverse lights have not been working and I put the topper back on the truck. I has tinted windows in back and is hard to see out of anyhow. Backed off the drive slightly and got stuck. Put it in 4wd and gave it hell. It pulled out but it also clipped a tree and tore the heck out of the drivers side bed of my truck. Should have skipped the brats tonight and made chili! I have been wanting to fix the reverse light switch for sometime but it is extremely difficult to replace on the 4 speed 4x4. Now 3 hours later I have it out. Had to take out the carpet and everything that mounts to the floorboard including the console to get the hump cover open enough to get a wrench on it. Got it out and tested it and it works but has to be depressed all the way in to get it to work. SOMBETCH I now have to start the body work.
makes me sick
