Am I getting hosed?

But wait there's more!!!

 

Welcome aboard.

Not sure if you’re on the east coast but these 5ft beds are in Florida and you can probably get one shipped on an auto-carrier.
Those companies are always coming and going.

fender liners are cheap on Amazon or a Toyota parts website.

the bed damage maybe can be fixed with epoxy and other materials. Cut the fender damage out with a fender trim and that’s fixed too.

keep in mind I run no fender liners and have trimmed all four fenders and trim sides back.

 

Turn the claim into insurance
Accept the damage claim and have the insurance cut you the check directly
(Yes, you can do this)
Ditch your damaged bed
Put the 6k towards this

 

Looks like a solar oven to bake pizza inside.

 

Sounds like OP needs to talk to @Ralf cuz his tray pricing starts right at $6K USD.

Yo hotdog! Don’t start capping man…

We still waiting for you to build that bridge!!!

 

Take the $6k payment from insurance, fix the overt cosmetic issue for as cheap as is reasonable, install high clearance rear bumper, get a fiberglass repair company to patch hole in bed. Pocket the rest. At least that’s the theory.

 

wait, do we know OP's year and mileage?
Some would really just use duct-tape, kite string, and bubblegum on a 2023 with 872 miles on it?

 

Was using chains really necessary tho?

4x4 and good quality snow tires aired down a little can take u thru most stuff from my experience in huge snowfalls.

Sucks it happened tho. My condolences

 

The latest all terrains with snowflake rating are usually quite good too. General Grabber ATX are surprisingly good in snow, and studdable.

 

have you dealt with insurance/claim adjusters? before if you havent theyre fun to deal with lol also make it a comprehensive claim..

 

AT tires are okay but not in very severe cold. They harden up like rocks.

I run my Toyo Open Country AT IIIs well into the winter but take em off when it gets super cold cause they start sucking on frozen pavement.

 

Aw man, I really like those types of utility shells, I think I would paint mine white or tan for the desert here though. And if I lived in the northern states were fir trees grow with moss, black or forest green would be a pretty nice color.

 

Yum. That’s a big ass pizza.

 

if anyone wants to buy me one of those, they can have my ARE MX shell and back end.

 

They haven’t made it to our shore just yet, but I’ll just leave RSI’s MSRP pricing here

 

Oh wait a minute- Ralf is currently selling that sweet rig for around $31k if anyone is interested…

 

Just messing bro! All gravy hometown ;0)

 

part out
