 I'm sorry man, loved that truck. You got insurance?

 I do but not sure what it will all cover. 90% of the damage was aftermarket and fabricated. Oh boy.

 Is the frame tweaked or anything? Or is it just that corner?

 Ill know more in a few hours when i go over it with the body shop. Bit stopped and finally got to look at it last night... not good. A-arm mounts ARE tweaked, steering rack seperated, leaking fluids frm 3 different places, cv is blown, tierod is through the tire, wheel is broken, main suports for the bumper folded.. which says i hit that poor van pretty damn hard.

 C/O did survive. Tire caught it, ripped the clamps holding it in place and popped it up in front of the tire. I think everthing attached to the a arms is junk though. What might happen is i have to total it. Buy it back from the insurance comany, tube and SAS the front half and sell it. And in the meantime buy a similar year Taco to bolt the Total Chaos kit to. Know of any for sale? Need 96-02... or start fresh with a T100!

 Long story with a really fast ending. In a nut shell... traffic jam, one truck wasnt on the brakes, just coasting very slowly, raining like a mofo, I saw it, ripped it right, back left to avoid wall, rearend slid out, caught shot across two lanes into a minivan. Dont think I touched the brakes even once, just tried to avoid and lost. Well, not as bad as the poor ladies in the van. Crap they got hit hard. Knocked every window in the van out and it even knocked the headlights out of the front of it. They were 40' down the road. My poor truck.
