I was on the highway here earlier today, very windy in Dallas today, and a plastic 55 gallon barrel shot into the left center lane from the center median, the lane I was merging into, I did my best to avoid it, but it side swiped the drivers side. I was doing about 75 when it hit me, decent hit, I thought, crap! Pulled over at Buc-ee’s looked it over, surprised there is zero damage to either door, just the rocker panels.

Sorry to see that - that really sucks. Make the State DOT pay for the repairs for not having their stuff properly secured.

Update to my post, replaced the 3 door moldings this morning, took about 15 minutes. Parts were about $300 and took about two weeks to get. The OB is complete again. Black big Bronco tailgate emblem is on b/o for another week or so.

Think that situation turned out really well for you could have been worse for sure...
Way to hold your composure driving by the way
