Well a lil about the truck its a 97 chevy ex cab silverado, bagged body dropped, complete backhalf, shaved, so on and so on.. anyways as i was driving home the other day the bracket i had made to move the abs controller out of the way of the tires broke. It caused the controller box to catch the wheel and rip out brake lines, i noticed a sound when i was turning, but was going to check it out when i got home.. I turned, then eventually came up to a stop light and went for the brakes and there was nothing there what so ever, instead of smacking cars at the light i tried dragging the truck to a stop, and ended up swerving onto the median to miss the stopped cars,. at the end of the median as my luck would have it there was a pole. the truck vs the pole,. pole wins, it all happened so quickly i wish i could of done it all over now,.. but the good part is nobody got hurt. just my truck. now the front crossmember sits 4 inches off the ground and the whole front is smooshed. i think i can rebuild it with a new clip and some body parts its just going to be a loooong time until the truck sees the show field again  here are some various pics before and after.. oh by the way this was my daily

oh man, that's such a bummer. Probably better a pole than a car yeah?
You've got that - I'm sure it'll come out better than before!
