This is the non hit side(passenger side)




The DS corner light tab broke. The grill also came flying off but I was able to snap it back on with no problem.


Here's how the tires sit now:

DS Lower right povit:






This is the other side just to give you an idea of the actual damage:


Ugh.....

doesnt look to awful. just a fix that will need some time and patience. i pictured it worse.

 

I agree, it looks like mostly some of the lift components were damaged.

 

I doubt it is totaled. There is a body shop next door to my work, we do about half of their mechanical work and all of their alignments. I have seen alot worse then that not totaled.

 

Yea I never said it looked bad. I'm just worried about what's bent!!!

That's what makes me think the fixing of this is going to be pretty substantial.

check to make sure your frame is still straight.

 

How do you do that?

Deez

 

just get under the truck and see if its twisted or bent.

 

I hate I missed this thread until now. I'm sorry to hear you damaged your truck DeeZ. Looks like the suspension-frame joints took the brunt of the damage. That would be the least of your worries.

It took a bad hit and from the way the opposite side of the impact zone looks, the front clip is bent favoring the passenger side. a frame straghtener can fix that. I'm gonna say the cv axles and the front diff may be damaged and its possible that the front driveshaft is as well.
If you had a bumper, you'd sure be replacing it too.

15 mph is a hard hit for a vehicle with no bumper. Its not a total loss though for sure.
Dad t-boned a minivan with the 2000 Express van doing 30 and did about the same amount of damage. It wasn't even close to totaled.

 

Well thanks. You've put my mind at ease slightly. I call this guy tomorrow first thing in the morning to get him out here. Wish me luck.

I'll post a quote I read somewhere... "No one's a virgin. Life f*cks everyone."

I want my truck back!
