Damage Estimate...

Any idea how much all this damage will cost? I am not at fault, taking the truck to a collision center through insurance on Tuesday. I don't think there is any frame damage but who knows.

Cap fiberglass is cracked, figured the entire truck-bed assembly would be replaced... not sure if they do it by panel, and the passenger rear c-pillar needs some extensive work as well.

let me know what you think

 

I'm gonna guess 4 to 5 k. I'd want a new camper shell

 

the bed is like 4 grand alone lol/

 

12 to 15k is my guess.

 

You seem fairly calm about that shit.
What the happened?
Yea I’d bet 10k anyway.
Didn’t hit the wheel?
I had an estimate for some self inflicted damage of 7k was over 11k when done.

looks like a hard hit at the c-pillar. I’d wonder about the frame.
How does the front and driver look as far as door hood gaps?

 

Charlie!!!
Love the accents.

 

I think that's going to be a lot of money... Take the check and put a flat bed on it

 

Without looking at the frame, one really cannot tell. Need to look inside the bed too and determine of any of the composite bits are damaged. I would venture that you're over 10 grand pretty easily though.

 

Kinda a weird situation.. long story but here we go: a crazy dude thought I cut him off at the on ramp to the highway (its a weird intersection at a light where the left lane goes on one highway, right lane goes to an entirely different one. I was in left lane, other dude #1 was in right lane) I took my turn onto the highway on-ramp that I was supposed to and he tried to cut me off, i didn't let him.. He tailgated me the whole on-ramp which is like 0.5 miles long with a long loop. As soon as we got onto the highway I merged and made my way to the left lane, he stayed in the right (3rd lane) and floored it to pass me and some other people then swerved across 3 lanes to get in front of me and then slam on the brakes to come to a complete stop, forcing me to stop as well IN THE LEFT LANE on i90 westbound out of Boston. He proceeded to get out and walk towards my car so i decided i gotta gtfo of there, checked my rearview and saw a car coming in pretty fast (guy #2), so i tried to pull into the middle lane after checking there was no one there but the car coming up behind me couldn't stop fast enough and ended up slamming into me as you can see from the photos. Guy #2 then bounced off me (was driving a Chevy silverado) and slammed into the wall on the far side of the 3rd lane and his airbags deployed...

overall not a fun time, still freaking out but trying to stay calm considering everyone walked away without a scratch.

Worried there might be frame damage due to the hit to the pillar and that they might end up totaling the truck

 

So anything happen to guy #1 the ahole? Did he stick around? Did the police ticket him for anything?

 

Shit man!
Glad your OK!
That road rage shit is out of control.
I’ve done the same it’s hard to ignore!!

 

@Sprig guy #1 peaced out as soon as it happened. by the time i pulled over and kinda looked around he was gone

 

Take a look at your bed bolts.
The box is touching your cab.
I don’t believe there is that much slop in the clearance holes for the bolts.
If the bed is torn the frame may be ok.
If not I’d say the frame bent?

 

man glad you're ok. this is a hell of a testimonial for a dash cam

 

I was just gonna ask!

 

What a dick. I woulda hit his bitch ass with the bear spray the second he got out of his car.

 

@ucdbiendog been meaning to get one... might have to invest now

 

I'm gonna guess around $13,000 or $14,000. It's hard to tell from just photos. But I have a feeling that you have suspension and frame damage from that hit on the wheel.

Just my thoughts though.

Keep us posted. Glad that you're okay

 

Not gonna like this!
What an ass!

 

That’s a pretty good hit. I’m
Guessing you’re over 10k. Assuming the frame isn’t bent. But when hit like that they don’t tend to stay straight
