    back in 96, I caused $8k to my parents 1993 Grand Cherokee, almost totaled the damn thing, 12 point buck went flying about 100 feet. I had such an adrenaline rush, I stepped on a rusty nail with my sandals and was walking around with a rusty nail up in my foot for about 15 minutes, so I know your feeling.
    Anyhow, looks like probably about $5k, but your insurance company might not pay for all the A/M lighting that you got, but they will pay for OEM, which should hopefully cover everything for you. Yeah, looks like probably headlights, grille, fender, bumper, bumper absorber and reinforcement, repair and/or replace hood, blend driver fender if necesssary and blend passenger side front door.
    $5k, +/- $1k

    Just an update, truck is in the shop after a battle and a half with the idiots from the insurance and appraisal company. Seriously, idiots. All and all, appraised at $3900 damage which was a bit less than I expected... but we'll see what the final shakedown is.
