    So sorry, Jim. Appreciate the update. Glad you're in good enough spirits to give us one and start moving forward. It'll get better!
    To hell with scummy insurance companies.

      Yeah I feel better that it wasnt a targeted hit. I forgot to mention that in the video. Totally random and unlucky is all it was. I thought for sure someone was after us for something. We thought it seemed way too aggressive to be random.

    James, I am so sorry this has all happened to you. Brutal in every gut-punching way. What horrible losses, especially of your best friend. One step at a time, bud; one step at a time.

    So sorry about your truck (and guns and one wheel)! Thank you for all the great videos you made with it. I wouldn't have been able to put my mud flaps on without your video!
    Do you plan on getting another Lightning eventually?

    I hope you took the time to personally "thank" all those haters that thought you torched your own truck. The internet is a hateful place but you should be proud of the content you put out. Time to put it in the past and move on to new projects and more content.

    I'm glad things are falling into place after a hellish month. And no need to be sheepish about the minivan... Everyone has the same realization after they buy one - "Damn - this thing is actually awesome."
    Best wishes to you snd your family. I hope things brighten up for you!

    Yooooooo, congrats on the mini van LOL. I just got a free Town and Country from a family member. I don't really trust Chrysler but good to hear they have finally rated the PHEV for towing. Can't wait to see the t-rex hooked up (traction battery wise) to the mini van.

    We have a 2017 Pacifica Hybrid, your gonna love it, it's pretty great.
    It would be awesome for you to do the REX on the Pacifica.
    Glad that things sort of at least mostly worked out for you.

    the pacifica plugin was the other one I looked at before I bought my Prime, but I really liked it as well-and those things are HUUUGGGEEE for the gas mileage they get.

      previous years you couldn't tow with right?

    • @JamesKlafehn
      @JamesKlafehn  10 місяців тому

      I actually dont know. I googled it and it said 3600lbs. I havent read the manual. Etrailer.com sells a trailer hitch specifically for it. So idk.

    • @dkj104
      @dkj104 10 місяців тому +1

      3600lbs is for the non hybrids, and unless they changed it after we got our 2018 pacifica hybrid, the manual actually says "Trailer towing is not permitted with this vehicle."@@JamesKlafehn

    I would love to see T-Rex attached to the Pacifica! I hope you consider it, would be awesome to watch. Glar to hear you were made (mostly) whole.

      @JamesKlafehn  10 місяців тому +1

      Thanks for watching! Yeah I think it would be pretty cool. But my first priority right now is the 66 Tesla powered Mustang. Maybe someday Ill work on the pacifica.

  • @chrisE815

    James- What do you think of the Ramcharger? I hope more competition is announced (can't believe Ford or Toyota aren't first to the PHEV truck) but something like the Ramcharger may be my first truck. I find the PHEV R4P to be incredibly convenient but it's capabilities are pretty limited @ 2500lbs towing and barely enough passenger/cargo space for a couple average sized Americans. Hope to see you tinkering with a daily driver again soon.

    • @JamesKlafehn
      @JamesKlafehn  9 місяців тому

      I dont believe in any vehicle until its actually built and for sale. Back in the 2000's I was dying to get my hands on the hybrid, then ev, then scrapped, Supra that toyota was showing off. its a a publicity stunt for eyes and clicks. Look at the VW products, where is the bus they have been showing off for 15 years?

      The local broker was Knoxville Insurance Group. maps.app.goo.gl/hxSowjinNjqkXzSh8
      The insurance company was Auto-Owners.

  • @timnevitt2993
    @timnevitt2993 9 місяців тому

    the only reason they found who did it was because they broke into a police car. if they didnt do that the police would not give two shits about your truck.

    • @JamesKlafehn
      @JamesKlafehn  9 місяців тому

      I kinda think that too. Once you f with them, they are going to get you. There were a lot of police on this case because of that!

    $6500 for a cat, I would have made a different choice 🤔

    • @JamesKlafehn
      @JamesKlafehn  10 місяців тому

      I voted to put it down. But it had been such a shit month in a shit year for us that my wife's coworkers actually pooled money together to have the surgery done. We were blown away. The cat is now doing great! Multiple screws in his reconstructed hip.
