Got in an accident today, pics of carnage
#41
Anyway, chill the heck out and good luck with the repair. I really do hope it all works out. It always sucks to have this happen. My 04 IS300 got sideswiped the other day while I was at work... I understand the frustration.

I work for a public insurance coporation....smacked 2 deer last June.... 10G's $$ damage...they fixed it. If I were in a Jimmy or Blazer....it would have been a total loss. I can't see it being a write-off....but not too sure how insurance in the USA works.

It was a multiple car pile up on I-5, yes he did get ticketed but so did I, which ads insult to injury. Trust me when I say this there was *nothing* I could have done to avoid this in bumper to bumper traffic. Yes, I do have uninsured motorist and will take my ticket to court.
Runs fine, no fluid leaks, no shakes or shimmies but the alinement seems to be off. Wonder if the repair shop object to putting on a TJM or ARB vs. OEM?

Sooo i'd effing beat that driver down with my Mag light. Even if truck is "totaled" buy off the insurance company. Get a custom bumper and fenders. All thats left is the door....I can't even imagaine the pain your going though.

death cougar, yes. but tomorrow i'm going to get an estimate from a diff shop that i know does good work and is cheaper and i'm thinking about cashing out. taking the $3,800 and having the other shop fix it, since i will be paying for it i can tell them not to replace the scoffed rims, chipped headlight, etc so it should come out under 3,800 leaving me with enough $ for a tjm or arb (that i can pick up in kent). what do you think??
again, thanks guys for the kind words. i'm still not looking forward to the hassle but i am looking forward to hopefully having a better rig when its all over.

If i were to lose my runner, 1 thing i would pull off: My Rear Diff. I have the Locker from factory on and i LOVE IT! It's one thing i love. Jeeps might flex but what good is flex if you dont have traction?
