Everything ended up taking 3 months from the date of the accident. I kept the claim with the at fault drivers insurance because they were talking about part backorders with timelines in the 3-6 month span and I didn’t want to come out of pocket for the rental. The insurance company/ shop would...

I appreciate the attempt. That’s the same thing I saw and the shop told me as much. In a vacuum, point R25 exceeds that. I’m not sure if it’s irrelevant though because the corresponding left point is pushed over too. I’ve also read that although 3mm is the general tolerance, it’d obviously be...

The report was done by the collision shop. The title of the report is “Car-O-Liner Vision2 X3 Lower body Diagnose Report” if that helps any

I posted previously about my unfortunate accident where my truck was hit while parked. I’m being royally screwed for sure, but they recently measured the frame and sent me this report saying all is copacetic and within manufacturer specs. My uneducated take is that the left rear side is clearly...

No kidding. The fun part will be getting them to put in writing the value reduction due to the accident.

That’s easier said than done. They’ve currently got estimated repairs at $7k. They say full frame replacement is $8.1k. Still $7k off from totaling. They don’t seem to want to entertain driveline damage at least as far as I’ve been able to get thus far. There’s definitely a world where they do...

I totally understand that I’m being dealt the shortest possible end of the stick, but at the end of the day, my singular lawyer would stand about a 0.001% chance against the teams of insurance lawyers. I’ve informally discussed it with a lawyer and have been informed that by the letter of the...

I wish I had better news but after discussions with the shop and insurance company we’re basically at an impasse. They’re giving me a whole new axle and internals but refuse to go with a new frame or do more investigation on the transfer case and transmission. At this point I’m just going to...

I apparently must've pissed off the shop pretty good and now they're pushing me off to State Farm because I told them there's no way that bending things back to place puts my truck back where it was at, or anywhere near a safe condition. I've attempted to talk to the insurance company, but...

I can confirm that no, the airbags did not go off. Moving it onto the tow truck showed no dash lights or anything like that either. The driver had a hell of a time driving it straight onto the flat bed.

Just got a concerning call from the shop. They're apparently keeping the most recent estimate open to continue adding parts and repairs as needed. He said they don't want to keep issuing a bunch of new supplements for every little thing. He said he's going to start sending me his stuff that...

Yeah definitely. It's super beefy and those big hooks have come in handy a few times to tie things down or pull something in a pinch.

For sure, they have it on the initial estimate and I've asked them to relay the measurements from their scan.

Thanks! it's the rugged ridge HD rear bumper (P/N: RGR-11540.37)

I already had a 3.5" Rubicon Express lift on it with the extended front lower control arms. It was fine for the day to day, but depending on how it comes out the other side I may do a few upgrades if it seems like I won't be chasing gremlins for the rest of my ownership. I've been thinking about...

yknow I was trying to create a little intrigue

I was blissfully ignorant of how to deal with this sort of thing up until this, so I was under the impression it was better to go through the at fault party’s insurance so it doesn’t affect my premiums, in addition to rental car expenses, plus a diminished value claim should they be able to...

Unfortunately my truck was hit while parked in front of my house on the street. Somehow the car hit only my rear tire and managed to flip. My truck was pushed forward about 5ft from the impact. There's not a scratch on the body of the truck, but the axle is shifted over by about 1.5-2" towards...
