well about a week after getting my licence me and some friends thought it would be fun to go wheeling. And everything was going fine but my friends wanted to have a donut competition before we left, And me being inexperienced plus having a top heavy rig flipped it while doing donuts because my rear tire caught in a pothole...

 

Agreed, ive done alot of body work myself and i would say if you feel comfortable with it try to pull what you can and you can bondo the rest if you have to have it fixed a bit or you could just leave it and drive the hell out of it. Just be careful if you try donuts again op

 

Im with everyone else dont look all that bad in the pics if you aint to worried on looks just drive it dents and scratches just ive you a story to tell when someone askes bout it LOL

 

thats it??? run it. i would only consider bondo if it was bad, but that doesn't look too bad at all. just make sure to prevent rust, especially by the windshield. they leak like HELL there without dents to hasten the process

 

Might as well drive it down to Vancouver and give it to me.

With that amount of damage it should be taken off the road ASAP. I'll give it a good home.

 

sorry for taking so long to tell you guys what i did to it. but i did end up keeping it an fixin it up... a bit. the pillar and rear quarter panel were both repaired for about 500 total. after that i did a couple more things to it...

New bumpers:








..And after getting tired of looking at the different colored panels and repair areas I decided to do this..







I havnt put the bumpers back on yet but ill put more pictures up when i do.. It was painted with rustoleum rattle cans, about 12. also thinking about painting the rims too ..

Let me know what you think!!

 

Looks good!!!

 

Does anyone know how I can move this thread to the build up section??

 

great job! my vote its a keeper!

 

right on man!!!! was wondering what yhou did with it! keep it up. these guys are gems and are worth fixing yourselve. very easy to work on

 

WOOHOO NICE JOB!!

my hilux is currently waiting for insurance... i spend 2 grand fixing my injection pump and coming home from the mechanic i got kinda t boned...guy running a red during a crazy snow storm..

def worth fixing a truck if it runs good cause they dont make them like this anymore!

 

Does the windshield leak at all since you fixed it?

$500 isn't too bad for the repairs. Looks great!

 

Thanks for all the positive feedback guys!
and sorry to hear about your truck bigt , is it salvageable?

No the winshield does not leak at all..

Oh, and i forgot to mention I just put these new hubs in place of my old auto ones and they are 100% better.. probably because the auto ones were broke!

 

Thats not bad at all! Mine is worse, and I will fix that one since its rust free.

I say fix it and drive it!

 

how do you guys think it will look if i paint those stock rims black? has anyone done it or seen it done? Pics?

 

Moved all this and a little more to a new build thread . Here is the link!! https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f199...ild-up-249267/
