Yep, that's the verdict. I'm quite upset about the whole thing I think it's fixable. Can't get a straight answer from anyone as to what the extent of the damage is, but I'm going to Angleton tommorrow to get what I can off the truck.

Anyone in the huntsville/houston area have some spare tires/wheels by any chance?

 

damn, sucks bro.. Ask Christian, he needs new tires.

 

No I need spares to put on for my wheels.

 

he has my set of stock wheels and tires..

 

Awesome I'll call him. What can i take off the truck? I was thinking MAF and air box, waag/lights, cb, exhaust, hitch, wheels and tires, cd changer, i dont know what else.

 

most of the time, you can take off what you put on, as long as it is replacesd

ie: if you take off the wheels... you will need to put aonther set on there.

man, sucks about that bro. :-( Take the Ranger Emblems offa her if you can, as a momento.

tell them you want to beable to take the lift off also.

 

everything you put on take off! sorry to hear man hope you get a new truck soon.

 

You got it pretty much, if they have already seen it, take what you can..



here is my momento.

 

even if it came stock, and is still in good shape, get a replacement lol.... that sucks man, i bet they took one look at it with the lift and big tires and thought it was to much of a risk wehn you get it fixed so totalying it would save them the msot money...

 

yikes...... thats from the ranger?

 

i would try and take off the suspension lift, if you are able to.

it isn't something the insurance is paying you for, is it?

i would try and take off the:

fender flares
waag bar
lights
headlights
corner lenses
radio
cb
radio bezel
armrest
license plates
tailgate handle
emblems
rearview mirror
battery
alternator
maf
airbox
exhaust
brakes

dude, any/everything you can get! take it off/out!

 

see if you can steal the lift..

 

steal? anything that he didnt include on his policy is his to take... insurance only owns the stuff that went towards is premuims

 

once the insurance company prices it, and gives him a check, it is their property.

You cant start ripping stuff offa it that is stock on the truck

 

i didnt post a list of what is allowed to be pulled off.

plenty of people remove alot.

so, yeah...

excuse my thieving post.

 

Think I could get the foglights off there pretty easily?

I blue booked it.

Dealer price: ~15k
Private party: 12.5k
trade-in: 9.9k

Anyone have any idea what they might give me for it?

 

not sure if you saw my post above this before but, to my understanding, they dont own anythng that was never insured.... even if it is part of the truck

 

Yea, three bolts, each side.

 

foglights are real easy.

just take some tools.

tell em :i have aftermarket bulbs:

i think they will give you close to private party, as far as i know.

 

If they give me 12.5 for it, that's 2 grand more than I paid. That'll be some nice breathing room, maybe I can have a Level II brought down from up north?

 

ouch leo.

 

Kyle,

don't accept anything less then 12k for it. that is what it would cost you to replace it wth another stock truck.

that guy is in clear lake and selling stock rims cheap..

 

since most insurance companies dont pay for aftermarket items, they cant stop you from taking it off


however, they might try to pay you for the items on the truck, so its either take their money or take your parts


I say **** em, and make it stock again

 

They gave me 14,500 for my truck, and i paid 13 brand new..

I had paid over 6 on it, so, i had a nice chunk of change to get my car.

I think they will give you more for it.
