OOF. Twin to mine, except for the powertrain.

Just heard back from dealer I originally ordered from and they are saying 5-6 month wait for orders. They have a very similar vehicle on the lot with black hardtop and clothe seats. Wonder if I can talk appraiser into letting me switch hardtop and wheels out if I bought this one (if totaled) and add some Katzkin leather.

I had a pretty well sorted Q60 red sport totaled. Insurance was fantastic about letting me strip it of parts down to the speakers. By the time it went off to auction it had no rotors, calipers, intercooler, intakes, downpipes, exhaust, BOVs, lower & upper IC piping. I would have pulled the coil-overs if I had time but no dice. She literally told me just make sure it doesn't look stripped.

Under no circumstances should you accept this... if you do, you are allowing the at-fault party to rob you. Their insurance is supposed to make you whole...

I second this. Dont wanna sound like that guy but this is the whole point of insurance. Especially when insurance companies force you to get full coverage on a new vehicle.

the insurance of the at fault driver should be paying for everything. if your insurance does then your rates will go up. Shouldnt be held accountable for somebody else. I suppose it does depend though on ones personal morals and if the at fault party truly had an accident or was just being dumb. That would be a personal choice though.

I agree I should be made whole from the incident. Decided to deal with my insurance and have them get reimbursed from her insurance for various reasons (logistics behind a rental car, car replacement policy on my plan and towing etc). MSRP on my build has gone up almost 4k since I bought it last March and with build dates of 5-6 months I’m not going to be able to order and get 5.5% off invoice similar to before.
So even if my truck gets totaled for 60K and I get a 20% kicker for car replacement, that’s 72k which is eaten up by price of a replacement with taxes registration (expensive in Colorado 1.8% purchase price or something crazy).

So with a truck with an MSRP of 66.5k that I paid 59k that now has an MSRP of >70k I will have a loss. Not sure how to make an insurance company make up that difference besides push them to total and fight back on appraisal…..

Keep your $4,000 shell.

Its totaled, both front frame horns are swayed to the passenger side. Look at Copart, doesn't take much for the JTs to get totaled out.

Amen to that.

MSRP on one like mine is 6K more than when I bought 2.5 years ago. Wow.

I bet it continues to rise with the new mpg mandate. We might not even see gladiators anymore in a couple more years making ours priceless. sure would be a crying shame if someone totaled a JT after they stopped production.

Everyone walked away pretty much unscathed. If totaled… another diesel gladiator or something else?

It depends on the state, the only vehicles I have had totaled was a 05 TJ that was on its roof, and a 13 unlimited that had a large tree fall on it. Two other accidents that I thought were totaled were fixed

Gladiators are not cheap and it takes a lot to total them so I'm not going to speculate whether it's totaled or not. All I can say is what it took to fix mine. I took a hit that wiped out the driver's side and the repairs were around 17K. The B pillar was pushed in about 4" and needed to be replaced along with the doors, rocker panels, rear quarter panel skin, and a whole host of other things that at one point saw all of the interior pulled out. Here's a picture for reference of what the damage looked was from the outside. FYI, it took 4 months to get it back. That being said, I did not try to rush them in the least. The last thing I wanted was for them to do a rush job and cut corners because I was breathing down their neck. Good luck with however it turns out.

Make sure you are in communication with both your insurance and the responsible parties ... I went through my insurance assuming all would be taken care of and found that they dropped my rental after 30 days.(still pissed about that) .. when I contacted the responsible parties insurance they had no record of the accident either from their insured or from my insurance.

Right now it's cheaper for the dealership to do a frame straightening most of the time. I know the lead service manager at my dealership in Tampa and he said b/c of auto costs and supply chain shortages inflated new car values many vehicles that are normally totaled are now having frame off repairs being done. Sucks but what ya gonna do.
