Hey guys, remember me? I'm back - finally. February 6th -> April 22. I got her back. She's like the 6 milion dollar truck. She's been rebuilt pretty much from the ground up. It only took 2.5 months or 76 days. I forgot how to drive her. The switches and knobs and such are all in different...

I’m not happy with the way the insurance company handled this at all. It should’ve been totaled out. Their original estimate was a laughable $2,800. How do I file a diminished value claim? I brought it up to the insurance guy and he blew it off. If it has to be through them and they aren’t going...

Well, got a call from the body shop yesterday afternoon. They are, in fact, putting a new frame on it. They ordered it and it won’t ship until March 26. The crash was Feb 6. By the time this is repaired it will have been 2 months and the costs are now up to $20k. I really wish it was totaled out...

Thanks for the review. I ordered these and they arrived last week but my truck is still being repaired from my crash a few weeks back. Hopefully it’ll be back later this week so I can get these installed

It is a good shop. My plan all along was to drive this for the next 8 years and give it to my daughter when she starts driving. Then buy myself a new one. That may still be the plan. We'll see. I may get an itch in a year or two and look into trading in or selling. I won't hide the fact it...

Well, the shop gave their estimate of $13,500 and after a bit of complaining with the insurance co we are putting OEM parts on it. I don't plan on selling it. I am looking into an extended warranty just in case there are some issues that turn up at a later date.

True, I just don’t know if the insurance company is going to try and claim that it only costs $2800 and that’s all they are paying. Not to mention they quoted used and aftermarket parts. I am probably ok with aftermarket but no way in hell I’m putting used parts on a 6 month old truck.

Yeah, I am definitely not happy with the insurance company right now. The kicker is, I changed 6 days before. I am getting divorced, we sold the house on 1/31 so I cancelled my policy with the local company because I get a discount through work with the new, big name, company. I regret that...

A few more photos

Having issues with the insurance company. Dumping those assholes once this is done. They “appraised” the damages based upon two photos and sent the body shop a check for $2800 body shop did their appraisal and determined costs to be $13,534. They are (thankfully) dealing with the insurance...

Yeah. I agree. I can hope tho. lol. I’m still waiting on the assessment from the insurance company :mad:

Will have to see what happens with the insurance appraisal!

Thanks, I just got off the phone with adjuster. They are sending out an appraiser probably tomorrow or Monday. I will know what the damage is then. Being a 2020 my fear is they will fix it. I'd just rather not have a pieced together pickup. And yes, I was nice to the adjuster on the phone. It's...

On a side note, I did find a replacement fairly close. It's Gobi. I will wait to hear from insurance agent

This was in town. I was only going 25-30 MPH So, maybe no frame damage

I'm in northern MI, about an hour south of the Mackinac Bridge

Yeah, airbag blew, I couldn't shut it off afterward. Tried hitting the button but nothing.

Yeah, it will probably be salvageable. I just hate driving patched up and repaired vehicles. The radiator is shot, I think I saw oil and transmission fluid underneath. I won't know until the insurance company looks at it in the next few days

8,300 miles on it. I am hoping it's totaled as I would rather not drive a patched up Gladiator. Dude made a left turn in front of me this morning. Silver lining: I am ok and so is the other driver, I may end up getting a new Gladiator out of this, I had an appointment this evening for new...

Thank you
