    Maybe a junk yard for some slightly cheaper front end pieces?

    Ugh, @Thatbassguy is it for sure that core support is bent? I’d hope that got spared since it’s mostly behind the steel bumper.

    I can't like this.

    At this point it seems the universe wants James to build out the new Land Cruiser. :spending:

    I don't even know how my insurance works yet, so I have no idea. What I'd like is to get the structural stuff and bodywork done at a shop, and reuse my bumper cover. If there's enough money, I might consider a full steel bumper. :notsure:

    No, I'm not sure. And, I'm not sure I'm using the right terminology. But, whatever supports the headlights and grill seems to be out of whack.

    I second this. Although using something like cosmoline will have better wash off resistance

    Finally had a minute to wash the truck from last weekend’s activities.
    This was the result of 1 hour and a full tank of petrol.

    Also I don’t remember dragging my passenger slider in the mud but I must have considering how much came off the bottom.

    Ya that's a good one.
    Everyone will standing around drinking Old Fashions and White Russians.



    To clean up my mess, the process was

    Shovel
    Broom
    Shovel
    Water hose.


    Called the insurance company about my windshield. They asked if I got the license plate number of vehicle that kicked up the stone.
    Of course I was honest and said no.

    May asked about the deer. I told her that James was so pissed off that he shot it and ate it for dinner that very night!

    The deer probably still had its spots.
    I'd say 70lbs.

    Those things are dangerous! The one that hit my MR2 trashed the fender and the door.

    I think I'd have gotten in some trouble if I did that. :rofl:
