is it gonna be totaled?

Ah, understandable.
Ya know what's funny also.. I got my money from USAA.. the idiot who backed into me was military.. they took this long to figure this out.. I don't like them much now.

You have to either be active duty military or be a dependant of military to get an account with USAA. When I get out of the Marines, if I cancel my accounts, I can not get them back because I would not be military anymore even though I have had an account with them before.

You had a serious crash there! So what happened to the vehicle? Did you get another?
(And thank you for your service, that's the toughest job in the world)

I bought 2 1998 ford explorer xlt's. One has a sohc v6 2wd and the other has the 5.0 and is AWD. I bought the 5.0 one off the forums here and bought the one witht the v6 locally. The funny thing is that the one with the v-6 is faster.
 






Thanks! I'm gonna read about the crash in the link there... Good thing you're okay. That's a pretty ugly wreck... The v6 is lightweight, they move like the wind compared to the bulky awd and 4x4, but they sprint too once they get moving... stay safe!
 






I haven't found a V6 that could beat me, I take off faster and gain speed a lot faster. I don't know about top speed though. 98 XLT 5.0 here.
 






New Update, not too good.

It's Friday, the proposed day my truck was supposed to be fixed. The grill they sent him was cracked and damaged, and they sent him the Wrong bumper cover, the top plastic piece.. ARG!

I'm having him order up the parts and I'll bring it back into him when they're there.. Everything else is fixed though.
 






Update
Got my truck.. the new light look so shiney =D Weird thing he did though, put clear bulbs in the corner of the corners and on the sides.. Looks nifty.. lights up the sides nicely. It appears orange while driving around, but turn signals.. it's clear. (as far as I could tell from a reflection... lol)

I got my 31" BFG T/A KO's!!! I feel higher now, I love it. Traction is almost too good, I liked sliding around.... Better safe than sorry though, right?

I have to wait a week for a new grill and bumper trim. Looks so odd without that plastic pad on it. But oh well... 31's!!!!

Maybe I got a little carried away... Ahh, I'm so excited though.. Haha.. I love em.. And the new lights make it look so nice.. can't wait until I get the grill and trim in.
 


















Very very nice! You're putting life back into your vehicle. It's a good thing you got it repaired... keep going!
