Think its totalled?

Hydroplaned in my taco. Passenger side caught a k rail and ripped off my rear axle also busted up the side with the side steps.

 

That sucks. Looks repairable. Pretty much of no frame damage it can be fixed.

 

It’ll buff out

 

Body damage is expensive because of panels and paint- since you don't seem to have any and you probably don't have frame damage I think it's not totaled. Should be a quick fix- definitely not worth totaling the truck

 

Couple thousands you be okay bro...shit happens, just ask this guy!

 

Unless I’m not seeing it, it’s not even near being totaled

 

What he said. Loosen some bolts, straighten her up and tighten her back down.
Those pics dont show much.

Also welcome to Tw.

 

Nope.

 

Still trying to figure out how that happened. I see that pic or others from that a lot.

 

Correct. The rear axle shearing its bolts protected the frame. Insurance company will write a body shop a prodigious check but you’re good.

 

glad no-one is hurt. what tires were you rocking?

 

Poor recovery technique. Someone has a vid somewhere.

 

They thought it was smart to put the recovery strap on the rear and the guy who was pulling ignored the spotter telling him to stop

 

I was thinking the same thing, KO2s?....

 

What tires did you have when this happened? Glad you’re ok

 

No ways shes totalled. I work at a body shop and have fixed worse.

 

Ins co ended up totalling mine that suffered similar damage 9 weeks ago. If the frame tabs that the leaf spring shackles bolt up to are bent; it calls for a complete frame replacement. Of course, that still doesn't mean it will be a total loss on it's own. I had body damage as well that pushed the amount over the threshold.

 

He broke off a ubolt and the guys wheeling with him told him to take it easy. He kept bashing through the desert thinking he was hot shit and it broke. While doing recovery the axle shifted as to be expected. The owner was 100 percent at fault

 

def not totalled
