    from pg 4269...

    Yep, on the wonderful snow-day known as March 23th I pushed and towed no fewer than 7 folks back to the safety of the roadways on my way back from work at DIA.

    Then as fate would have it I hit a darn ice ridge in the middle of Hwy 52 which the plows left behind and Mr. Toads unstoppable wild ride was on.
    - Pretty slow speed, 1.5 side rolls later I thanked the good Karma I'd gained from helping others out that day as I was able to crawl out pretty unscathed after opening the window.

    So that leaves me at today... Insurance is totalling my 02 double cab. Damage in my opinion was light enough to consider options: basically top front cab crushed in the middle, all doors/windows functional/hood in fine shape, and one front fender panel creased.

    Cab replacement sources anyone?
    How about referrals to fab shop to price out cage/canvas top option?

    -Mileage 111,000
    -OME 3" lift kit/Dakar rear springs (happiest mountain goat ever)...
    Thanks!

    For the curious minds out there...
    Insurance quote $15400 for the full monty, I'm awaiting salvage value...

    That sucks. I saw your truck, I think. I sketched out in the same spot but recovered.

    (EDIT) Oh, and some advice: Make absolutely certain the frame is square and straight. Anything else is fixable.
