Got hit tonight

[Narkhelek]

Took a few days to get some insurance confusion sorted out but my T4R is finally in the shop. The initial estimate So far is for $5k in damage but they expect that there will be a pretty big supplement once they get some of the damaged area's removed so they can see what else may be impacted. The LCA mounts did get bent but the shop is pretty confident that they can get it straightened out. They will also have to replace my Camburg UCA, and one of my OW coil-overs. I'm going to go down to the shop early next week and have the guy go over everything they have found so far. The good news is that the shop thinks they can work out getting most of the price of an ARB bull bar out of the deal so something positive may come out of this.

The were telling me that one of my rocker panels got bent and that metal piece alone is $700.

My insurance company has me in a new Dodge Durango. It's pretty sweet but the thing is so low to the ground it hardly deserves to be called an SUV. It also has only a 3.7L V6 in it so it's seriously gutless. I'm afraid that if my truck is in the shop too long I may end up having to start moding my rental.

Well my ARB Bull Bar is on order along with all the other parts needed to fix up my truck. Not quite sure when it will be done as the shop has parts coming from quite a few different vendors but hopefully it will all come together within the next 2 weeks.

So far the guys at the repair shop have been awesome to work with. Hopefully the end result will be as good as their service has been so far. I'm not too worried about the suspension piece of this as that's mostly just replacing parts. I'm more worried about them getting some of the metal buckling I had around the front passenger door repaired and looking like new. Time will tell.

Go over the final repair estimate with a fine tooth comb for anything the shop missed. Same thing happened to me a month ago and the shop had 4 new tires on the estimate but I had already swapped to Duratracs and that wasn't noted, the difference between 4 stocks and 4 Duratracs is a lot of clams and shouldn't be paid by you. Glad to hear everyone is ok and the insurance monster is working out so far.
