Sit, Stay, ROLLOVER!!! (now if i could teach my dog the same trick)

So, apparently I taught my car to do a new trick the other day. Taught it how to "rollover." So after insurance totaled it and paid off the loan, and bought me the salvage. I am left with a Loan free, paid off, dent with zero chassis damage.

My plan is to kick as much of the roof back up as I can, replace the fenders with some high clearance fiberglass ones, build a fairly tight roof rack to semi hide the top and pretend like i just a free ticket to "modify it until its broken"

in all reality I am wondering which fiberglass fenders to pick from for the front and the rear, I still want the flat rear fender tops, not the Baja bulge on the tops.

Also, any advice on semi-straightening the cab would be greatly appreciated

 

How much did you had to pay for salvage if you dont mind asking ?

 

Salvage was 5007.62ish, they priced the value of the truck at just under 24k.

 

Glassworks has the flat top bed sides. They also sell all four corners in a package so you get a little deal on them.

Thats not bad, how much miles you had on it ?

 

PS: sorry about the rollover, obviously you're ok? what happened?

 

dang, what happened? So they paid off the truck and you bought it for 5k? Is it just body damage so far? glassworks on my truck below was like $700-$800 but I picked up

 

I would like to hear the longer version of the story!

 

I live 12 miles in the country on dirt roads, and with dirt roads comes the ability to drift... the last corner had been freshly graded, which is very rare. so I got the rear to break loose, then much to my surprise, the front followed. I walked away with a bruise on my collar bone from the seatbelt.

The glass works setup looks pretty sharp, I am also debating the Fiberwerks front fenders. I am just curious which ones go on the easiest and quickest. I have about a week off in a about two weeks and I am hoping to scramble and get it streetable ASAP. I live in Co, but work in ND, and this is my main transportation. I am also looking at picking up a mid to early 90's 4 runner or pickup to fill the transportation gap.

 

Damn dude. Good to hear your alright. Gl fixing that taco up.

 

Glad you're alright man. Wow. Good luck with the build!

 

Sorry bout the truck man... good reason to mod the shit out of it though!!

 

Try a frame shop, maybe they can pull it out, even if just a little bit. all the doors still open?

 

I'll let you drive mine if you can promise the same results lol

 

Wow, good luck with that. I certainly would not have taken that back from the insurance company.

 

how many airbags went off?

 

make a build thread

 

Glad you are OK, and hope to see a build page with pics, should be a nice project

 

We can't drive salvaged trucks in nj until it is proven with receipts that it was repaired properly. Like everything else in nj it's a pain in the ass.

 

damn .. talk about a commute!
