Advice- wrecked 97' 4 runner

[longshadow]

I don't know to much about 4 runners but my gf just wrecked her 97'. One side is great, it runs etc (has 250k on engine). Drivers side is pretty shot, lotta damage, no glass.. check pictures.

What should we do with this, seems a waste to just scrap it. Is it worth parting it? Build it into a trail rig? Just looking for some advice on what you all think is a good way to go. She loved this rig. Here are some pics..

With roof damage, it's unlikely to be worth rebuilding--that's "totaled" damage, needing extensive repairs just to get back to square one. It would be easier to repair a whole side than it is to do the roof properly. Time to get something else.

Turn in into a dedicated wheeling rig and get something else for a DD.

I love it! The guy who has a scratch on his dashboard is complaining and your attitude over a totaled truck is "oh well."

Total it, buy it back and build a trail machine. If it was me however I'd take off the good stuff and scrap it. Time for a new ride.

Cut the roof off the back, turn it into a SUT

If you chopped the whole roof off you could call it a Super Light Utility Truck

Take the total payout, buy it back, strip it down to the chassis and make some crazy out of it.
