Ok. Had truck almost 14 months before first big stupid mistake.
Backing in yard tonight. Watching side view one side for house other side for a tree. Slight incline modest acceleration because of slight incline. Somehow in my rush from getting home late and dinner and family anxiously waiting I forgot about the stump right where I was backing. Hit the edge of it and sat the rear diff right up on the stump. Had to lock in 4x4 to drag rear end off.
So I'm watching for fluid. None to speak of, no visible steel damage or bending in the slightest. Will be taking for a test drive after mulch is unloaded checking for vibrations.
I'll be posting a picture. I think I'm blowing it out of proportion and just super pissed at myself for such neglect/forgetfulness.
Just looking for thoughts on things to check out, where the shackles mount maybe? Plan on looking that over. I'll supply pics shortly. Phone about dead when I got home.
Jokes and criticism expected and tolerated.
