It does suck. Old girl has been a good truck for me too. 97 F-150, bought it back in 2003 with 84,xxx miles, and it just turned 251,xxx. Have only replaced the alternator. Bent the bumper into the front tire. I was able to take a tire iron and bend it out enough to get me to to work. Used the Bobcat, and a chain, and bent it out the rest of the way. Busted the headlight assembly, and side swiped the entire driver's side. Door was bent a bit, but was able to bend it back by hand. Drove it home, and it drove fine.

The best, she really is. Does everything for me. Gets up at 5 am, to fix my breakfast, and lunch, even though she doesn't have to be at work until 8. Gets home, cooks supper, does the dishes, does the laundry, irons all my clothes, etc. She does that every day of the week. I ask for nothing, she just does it.

Well, what does that leave you to do? Sounds like she got all of it taken care of!

Give her the paychecks, of course! :D All kidding aside, I empty garbage, take care of the yard in season, fuel her car up for her, check the oil, house repairs, etc. Every Saturday and Sunday morning, I bring her coffee and cookies/tarts/treats etc, on a tray to her in bed.

Okay, here's a few.

Front. I like that besides where the BH patch is, there's velcro on each row of the PALS webbing:



Side:



Other side. That's a 16oz bottle. I need to try a 32oz, and see if it can go behind the compression strap:



Straps. Generous padding, with adjustable sternum strap:



Next to my Kelty MAP 3500:





Got lazy with the photos. There's an lined sunglasses pouch on top, the main compartment, with organizational pouches. It's not a true clamshell design. One side unzips nearly all the way, and the other down to the bottle pouch. Then there's the pouch on the upper front, where the patch holder is, then the lower one, that has tons of organizational areas.

All in all, I really like this bag. Well worth the money.

Here's a vid of it:


EDIT: Mine don't have the dual hydration ports as the one in the video. His velcro on the front webbing is different too. Mine has a single key fob as well.

Dang, sorry to hear it Dubz.
Vehicular trauma is never fun to deal with. Glad you’re OK though.

Thanks man. My lower back was hurting soon after it happened, but that was probably more me trying to bend the bumper away from the tire with a tire iron. Not to mention I bent the door so it would fit tighter.
