Nice!! So they are going to pay you value plus your mods I'm guessing? I hope it won't be a fight getting what you want out of it.

Lol, what a roller coaster indeed. What made them change their mind? I'm disappointed that there's no pics of your truck submerged.

There will be. Once I have my check or repairs. I don' know what changed there minds, they haven' told me. They just said Long term costs exceeds the value of the truck, whatever that means.

Start looking for a leftover 17. Also check out Dennis Dillon pricing. Should help when negotiating.

Spool, they paid the dealer for repairs today... They are not totalling contrary to what they said.

I'll attach submerged truck pics when I get home!

Super painful man. Sorry to see that. If they forced me to have it fixed I’d be trading that off in short order.

So.. they were gonna total it, then they weren't, then they were, and now they're not? Hope this doesn't affect your premiums too much.

SO lessons learned. Stop treating your high dollar truck as a beat down mud truck. If you want to go mudding, build a specific built rig to do so.

No lesson learned. This is my offroad rig. My Durango is my DD. Even if it were my daily driver, I'd still go offroad. not everyone likes there trucks to be a pavement princess like yours. More importantly, the only thing wrong with this situation is i made the mistake of being over competent and misjudging the depth of the water. Not the trucks fault i took it beyond what it could handle. So i guess technically, if anything, I learned to be more logical when it comes to standing water :)

I still laugh at the guys on this site that openly admit their lifted trucks with mud tires are garage queens. Then why lift it? Or my favorite, the guys that ask what kind of snow tires they should run in the winter.:supergay:

Meh, to each there own. Though, I agree. I'm not going to spend nearly 2 thousand dollars in tires so the pavement can destroy them. If i'm putting down the cash, i'm going to have way more fun than I should :p

Maybe look into a snorkel ? Easy install. Also might want to extend the breather tubes.
