    Damn that's a pretty fat check. The damage didn't look that bad, but of course pics never do justice.

    We'll see what actually needs to be fixed and what labor is going to cost before making that decision.

    :spy: I already have a quote from Micah at DSM on a TC 3.5" kit.

    That's what I was thinking. I won't know what's on the ticket till later today.

    So, just take the check, load the truck on the trailer and call DSM? :D

    Tbh, I thought it would be higher. Full corner lost.

    If you decide to just take the check, be careful, from a couple of points, 1) insurance may want to inspect to ensure work is done, otherwise they may reduce the truck value based on the undone work, and/or 2) if you find further/more extensive damage (not uncommon...), you may have a tougher road to get to an additional settlement if you are mid-upgrade with non-stock parts.

    Yeah, the skinny trees at Gilmer would be even skinnier. :D

    If all else fails I'll at least shoot for a pair of stock length TC LCA's.

    :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

    My insurance company has never seen the truck, and I'm gonna keep it that way. I don't want them asking silly questions.

    But, they're all upgrades! :D

    Worst case is you aren't covered for all the work done so far. Usually limits to the amount any policy would cover.

    Hadn't seen those. Glad I can be responsible for some FJs not being able to take the bypass though lol.

    The jackass spotting that group through the "ditch" was doing a shitty job of spotting. I thought a couple of those rigs were going to end up on their sides. Did you see him trying to push the FJ around? WTF?
