WORTH STORE HELP MAKE A BAD TRIP TO WISCONSIN TURN OUT OKAY On December 22, 2009, while trying to return from Wisconsin after seeing my girlfriend's grandparents, my pride and joy was taken from me. We were headed south on I-35 in MN, when we slid on ice, hit the snowbank in the center median and rolled three times with a 4'x8' U-Haul attached (my 32" BFG Mud Terrains were in the trailer), landing into the oncoming shoulder. A man pulled over and let us wait in his vehicle while the Highway Patrol came. Too bad a car in the north bound lane slid on the ice, hitting my Jeep and rolling it on its top and back into the median, then crashing into the back of the SUV we were waiting in! If that weren't enough, I won't even begin to mention the battery and alternator that had to be replaced, two tows, two winches out of highway ditches, a fire alarm going off at the hotel, a crazy cab driver, and creepy bus stations! While we were up in WI, her grandfather had a 1978 F-250 4x4 that I was considering buying as a fun fixer up project. Guess what? That truck is now my daily driver. I had dreams of lift kits and 35's, but your cover page and relating article in March 2010 issue only makes me want it more! Point being, ORA and 4 Wheel Parts of Fort Worth have always been there with the information and know-how to help me. No matter if it was for the Jeep XJ or for my "new" '78 Ford. Thanks guys (and girls)! Jeremy Callahan, Cadet Texas Army National Guard/Army ROTC (11C - Mortarman) Crowley, TX ?
