Shoot, sorry to hear that! What material was the nose made of? Fiberglass cross-woven mat? I hope it’s repairable. The Spirit is an icon of this site and it’s sad to hear it’s been damaged. Though, that is part of a car’s life when it’s actually used.

A feral hog is foreign to me, but I did have two pigs at one point. They were heavy. Did the hog take out any radiator supports or frame crossmembers?

I hope all goes well in repairing it!

Air suspension. Yes, I have seen Julian’s insight. I’ve seen a similar setup on my boss’s new Ram 1500 as well. I’ve gone through cycles of wanting/planning air suspension and then canceling on it. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about cold weather failure and high repair cost. It gets to -45 Celsius in the winter and I don’t want any liabilities.

A well-designed lift and good bodywork design, combined with add-on floodlights mounted on a lightweight front pushbar…..Heck, throw in a limited slip diff up front….hmmmm

Could be fun, but talk is talk!

Let me know what state the Spirit is in! Very sad to hear about that.
