I spent a lot of time thinking about it and to me its not worth all the cost to save it. Everything I priced out put me just north of $15k to still have a totaled truck but on the road with a rebuilt title.

At one point in time I had all the links saved and deleted it all to not tempt myself further.

but it was the full core support kit from a company that just started making them, the full replacement lower suspension point kit, the high clearance front frame chop kit for better approach angle with the bumper that fits with it. Kinda like @EatSleepTacos once did. All new cab mounts. And all of that would still not fix the bent firewall, blown up steering column, blown air bags, bent passenger seat rails, blown out back window and anything in the front suspension that is bent. So its too much of a gamble

It sucks but I think it's the right decision. I see on here all the time "Buy it back, build a toy, etc etc" but man that is so much work and money.

Its not worth it. I’ve watched so many of you guys build a toy and then end up getting rid of it when the practicality becomes zero

That's a fair decision and one I'd also probably make.

Plus i found that extra frame damage near the fuel tank that really stumped my spirits but confirmed it was the right decision to let the truck go

I still may sell it, but only if I absolutely have to. I’m not at that point yet.
