    Yea we'll definitely be in touch on those wheels. I'm gonna see if there's any way I can work it so I can swap suspension off a new taco before the 07 disappears.

    If insurance pays out KBB I'll be alright and looking at an 09. If they don't I'll be looking at used definitely. Preferably a new gen truck but if I step back I'll be trying to track down a SACed truck. There's one for sale off Ardennes. I'll keep it in mind though.

    Glad you're Ok man....

    And I must say... It's a damn good thing you were wearing your seat belt!!

    You could've ended up like this guy or worse.

    I hope your battles with your insurance company isn't too bad. I hope they can hook you up quickly and effortlessly.

    Heard from the inspector finally. Truck is, in fact, totaled. Apparently I did enough body damage alone to check that box. Insurance is going to pay out "fair market value" which around here seems to be KBB value or more. Next step is to try to get the carcass back so I can strip it for parts.

    And for the really good news. First money is down on the 2009 Timberland Mica Access Cab TRD Offroad. Only problem, it's in Massachusetts. Guess I gotta take leave for Christmas to go get it... damn:D Hopefully this one will survive the trip back.

    Sorry Jamie, you won't be the only green taco in town.

    Hey Janster, we see that clip every year for our safety class, did you know he died? Pretty grim. He was actually a study case for falling asleep at the wheel when he accidentally did.

    Sure thing, I'll pay you in headrests

    And I just can't get used to driving non-natural colors through the woods. My work truck is green or tan so this feels better.
