car crash

We'll it has frame damage but its being repaired at a total cost of $6800. It should be finished by March 4th and I also spoke to the adjuster about a different bumper and if it costs equal to or less they will cover the cost so I have some shopping to do

 

They're straightening the frame then?

 

Yes

 

Excellent! Its amazing how much a lil damage can end up costing!

 

Ya no kidding I was expectin maybe 3 grand tops

 

Getting the frame straightened

 

Where are you getting it straightened at??

 

Clint newell in roseburg

 

Good to know, thanks! Im kinda suprised there is a place in Roseburg that does that.

Im in prospect, tucked under crater lake. Not far from ya at all...

 

There's going to be a tacoma world meet in Medford on March 4th id go but my first half of March is booked I've never been to a meet of just tacomas before i think it would be awesome

 

Well i got my truck back today

 

Who was her insurance company?

Congrats.

 

My insurance is farmers but progressive paid for it all

 

Sheesh. Told ya so. That it was gonna be a lot more than I think. Like I said mine was pretty similar in damage and it was still lower than yours. I should've stressed my suspicion of possible frame issues. Got a pull to the right now where it was wrecked at. Gonna get an alignment first and see what happens. Always seemed to have a slight pull but is a little worse than it was. And I can't remember if they said they had the frame inspected or not. I wonder if I can have them check it out. My insurance adjuster is a friend of mine so I'll ask and see depending on what happens with alignment. It may just be something else out of whack from normal driving. Everything is guaranteed with mine so it shouldn't be an issue if so. But is has been quite some time since the wreck.
Was also wondering if I could get away with some other small issues. Like the new fender flare looking brand new while all the others all old and faded. Someone told me I may be able to get away with getting all new ones since it changed the looks. Doesn't sound right though. Seeing as they only replace what was damaged to bring it back to how it looked before the wreck, not making it all look new and match. Plus a little thing with the grille. The Toyota emblem is falling off of the cheaper aftermarket grille and the whole grille itself doesn't snap in completely. I should've pushed for oem parts.. Sigh oh well. It was all fixed for free and not totaled, so I can't really complain I guess.

 

I pushed for a few oem parts like the radiator and the condensor but pretty much everything else was aftermarket and seems to fit fine. You should definetly get your alingnment checked if its not alingnable you have bent parts that need replacing

 

Yeah. Not sure what it is. It'll align. But never seems to be perfect. It may just be the shop I go to as well. Or an imbalance of something installed. Or faulty/going faulty part. Figured I wouldn't stress it too much until I get my new lift kit and whatnot. Like I said it pulled before the wreck as well. Just not as much. And last time I got it aligned they might just have not adjusted something that should've been. I have a 3 year alignment plan and soon as that's up I'm looking for another shop to take it to. Because they are always crazy busy and I'm starting to think they're just half assing it.

 

So heres round 2!!!
My wife was driving my truck and im the passenger, she parked in a parking spot I hop out and and she opens the drivers but still in the seat and a minivan comes to park in the spot next to us and plows the friggan door in the total opposite direction. Wifes ok but holy fuck really we drove all the way from utah to oregon with unscathed but were a few hours from home and a dude almost takes my door off. I had to bend it upward 2 inches so I could shut and drive the rest of the way home. The door only opens as far as the pic shows so i have to sqeaze in.

 

Damn dude. That sucks.

 

I couldnt even go 1 year without someone ramming my truck.
