Nice lookin truck man....and yes that pic does look sweet!
 












Welp, it's totaled, so it's decision time;

The insurance company is going to get it and bring it back to Columbus

Total price 5400+ tax -$500 deductable and add any mod reciepts I can come up with for wheels, tires, exhaust, Intake, Optima battery.


Buyback price $750

Fix the a pilar $$$???
throw in a windshield ~$300-400
Fix the tie rod ~$50
Fix the hub ~$150
Then it's driveable...
Passenger Window, ~$100-150
Passenger Mirror, ~$36
Front Bumper ~200

So about $1500 to make it driveable, $1900 to make it liveable.

I can also take my tires and wheels off if somebody has some ranger bolt pattern (5 on 4.5) wheels and balogna skins for cheap to throw on it laying around, I only need 3 because i had one.

I could swipe the battery and intake out too.

The other option is to buy it back and part it out;

Hood, Doors, back hatch, roof rack, Rear bumper, DS mirror, Leather interior, 3.73 gears for an 8.8 and Dana 35, 8.8 rear, AWD transfer case, 4R70W tranny, 5.0 engine (GT40P heads, Cobra/Explorer intake), Radiator...
