pics of Navajo mods/rollover

[carrotcloud]

I've finally taken pics of my Navajo. Mostly for insurance reasons. I rolled it last Wednesday, hit some black ice skidded sideways for 10 feet (hence the deflated tires, hit a snow embankment and rolled. Suffered mild concussion and bruises- ok now. Just waiting now to see what the insurance company will do....

I'm glad your ok. It really doesn't look bad at all.

Nice looking Navajo. Sorry to hear about the rollover. The Repair should not be that bad new fender and door some body work and you will be back in business.

Well, they decided to total it. I suppose there was some frame damage along with the body damage. It's not the best decision they could've come up with. I guess if you roll a vehicle and its pre-'95 they don't have many hesitations about considering it a total loss. I talked to a cousin who is "in the business", an insurance appraisor. He wasn't surprised they totalled it. Well anyways...Got me some money and now I'll buy a Toyota 4Runner!!!!

That sucks they totaled it. I would buy it back from them. They won't want but so much for it. Then you could just use it for wheeling. lata

That sux I could have repaired that my self. The Frame damage could not have been that bad. Too bad it is so far north I would buy it for just to rebuild it..

I am going to buy it back! They gave me $6185.00 - $500 deductable. It'll cost $1277 to buy it back. I figure it'll make a nice camp truck (where I use it most often anyways...) After looking at the pictures, I realize that the cap on the front window doesn't look to good - I'll never have another.
By the Way - its only got 70,000 miles on it.

I actually think that's pretty funny how you can still end up making a few grand and get to keep the truck. If you're going to just use it for wheeling, I wouldn't worry about the body damage. Just make sure there are no structural or function issues, and seal it for the weather. Now you've got a truck that doesn't mind "oopses."

...anybody know where I can find one nerf bar?

I have a side view mirror (you will need to paint it and cut the connector off your old one and splice it to this one) but it will work to fix that broken one. Let me know if you want it.

...thanks, but I don't need it. I don't even think its broken. I'll have to look at more closely, but I should be able to adjust (fold it out) it back into place. Was able to get the hood open with the help of a rubber mallet. Took the nerf bars off, front/rear bumper and the remains of the fog lamps....

That fender shouldnt be too hard to get looking halfways decent. One of our cats knocked a heavy piece of wood plank off a shelf high up, and I mean it was heavy, and landed it square on top of our minivan's fender and made one heck of a dent in it. Dad dide some work with a hammer and now you cant hardly tell anything happened unless you look at it at an angle in the light.
