Dropped my 998 through the ice this weekend and ruined my hood during the recovery. Anyone shopped and found a reasonable place for used ones?

I just bought two for my trucks. The ones coming off are not perfect but not horrible. I'm not home to even think about shipping but if you know anyone down NC way you are welcome to one of them.

The good news is:
A lesser vehicle would have been totaled.
A lesser man would have not smiled as you did.
An we would not have had the opportunity to read about it. Keep us up to date on how it all goes.

Thanks for sharing.

were the tire tracks from the first trip across wet when you came back the second time? that would have been a good sign of thin ice.

It wasn't. I hauled 3,000lbs of feed across and must have cracked it on the first trip. It was 6" thick. Doing a fluids change tonight on all the components. I crossed the weekend before and it was a dry creek. An ice jam down river caused flooding and I completely miscalculated the depth. Coulda been worse. Time for a fording kit as I cross this stretch often.
