A tree fell on my '14 Taco early this morning during a storm here. Insurance is having it towed to Dealer's body shop. Is the cab savable or is there too much structural damage?

Ouch, glad no one was in it. I doubt they will be able to save the cab on that one.

A tree fell on my 08 back on January. Surprisingly, it wasn't totalled. It was probably really close though. Mine hit the front driver side and went across at an angle toward the passenger side.

The guy who bought it (after repairs made) actually posted on here. Saw my old shell on Craigslist and sent him a message.

I think he paid $19k for it.

Didn’t give any fucks about what I had done to the truck either. Seems high for a salvage title to me, about 80% of new cost. But.. he loved it, and it was a good truck with an easy life. It’ll be worth every penny when he drives it for another 300k miles.

Based on nostalgia alone, he could get $40k easy
