Paid the truck off in June. Potentially totaled in July by a 17 year old young girl driver who has been driving for a month. Said she received a text, veered onto the other side of the road where my truck was parked and took out my driver side, head on.

Built this truck up slowly and added just enough parts to get it how I wanted it. Was looking forward to not having a truck payment for a few years. Bought the lift and suspension parts from @Nick@GotExhaust and @Quick_Shifter added the lift and extended brake lines and it honestly drove like a Cadillac, smooooth... His work is outstanding!

I guess I'll know if it can be fixed this upcoming week. I hope it can.IMG_0978.jpegIMG_0979.jpegIMG_0980.jpegIMG_0981.jpegIMG_0982.jpeg

Thats unfortunate and always the way!.. It doesnt look to bad as long as the frame is not damaged.. It looks like it basically grabbed the wheel and ripped the control arm/axle they break fairly easy hoepfully its fixable its a nice truck also dont be afraid to push back at insurance they try to total things very easy.

All for a text! SMH I'm willing to wager not enough will be done to her for her actions. Beautiful truck you made. I hope for you that the truck can be brought back to equal of what you have done to it if not better. Like jws123 said, don't let the insurance co. put the screws to you. We work hard to pay our property off. Good luck.

Sad news Boss, hopefully it works out man.

I got in 3 accidents my fault when I was 16, and none since as a man in his 60's. I love to say hate this girl, but just forgive her hopefully she learned from it. These freak'n cell phones, just next level stupid.

Most unfortunant ... similarity is I had paid off my truck a few months earlier before my accident.
Imo, it should have been totaled out, but insurance paid out to put my truck back together on a new frame.
Important thing is you weren't in your truck where you could've been hurt.
Good luck on the outcome.

I feel so bad for you, truck looks great. Hopefully it is fixed back to the way it was 100. Everyone on here is looking at the pics and having that feeling in their stomach putting themselves in your shoes.
