yep. i was going through this trail at hollister hills and i was doing this hill climb when my tc went out and killed the engine. I lost my breaks and steering. i rolled down the hill into a tree. broke the hatch, my rear window, and crushed in the d-pillar on the drivers side.
i could cut out the old crushed piece, and patch in a new one. but that seems really hard.
I could just pull the hatch off and leave it like that.
or i could chop it.
thats a biGGGGGG step. and hard to do right.
i want it to be a good trail rig now.
if i cut the top of at the c-pillar, how bad would it be to drive on the streets?
how would it do on the trail?
i'd love to cage it, but thats a little pricey, so thats down the road.
im starting mechanics school in november, so i dont have a lot of time to decide.
If theres a way to fix that pillar that i dont know about im open to ideas.
