PennSilverTaco's "Perfect 5-Lug Regular Cab" Build, Aspergers, and General BS MegaThread!

For what? A couple of thousand dollars repair? Retail maybe double that?

 

Holy fucking shit!

 

They’re probably not even going to go through insurance and just pay out of pocket. When my tailgate was smashed in my a forklift they just covered it out of pocket

 

I think it's gonna be more than that...

 

I've got an appointment with my trusted body shop tomorrow

 

I mean Wednesday; Also filed a claim with my insurance company too, just to be safe...

Do you think they'll try to total it?

 

Still getting the warped rotors replaced under warranty at Pete's like originally planned...

 

Sorry to see that Charlie. Hope you don’t have to worry about it being totaled or anything thing. You know, if they offer to paint it, the timberland mica is a great color choice lol

 

Noooo!
That door dent might be able to be pulled though…just some battle scars

 

The door is bent; There is a gap that let's wind in...

 

Be sure it’s fixed right and not like this -

I'm bringing it to a body shop I trust, which has done work on my truck before.

 

Damn Charlie, glad you're ok! It's not totaled, don't let them

 

What do you think the likelihood is of them totaling it?

 

Honestly, zero.
You need a new door and new bedside and paint. If you had to all the parts are at a scrap yard or on ebay. Hardly the cost of replacing your truck.

 

I’m confident that it will repaired, and not totalled, so long as the door frame / latch area survived unscathed. And even then…

 

Do you mean inside the door or the metal loop in the door frame?

 

The metal loop area of the cab door frame. I don’t think it’s worth stressing too much about though, I’m pretty sure you’re going to get good news at the body shop. Your truck is clean and well kept. And that’s pretty minor damage.

 

Glad you’re ok, just curious but how many miles does your truck have atm for it being worth 12k?
