That's when it's good to know someone and you can get it wrote up for $1 less than totaled. But hey, you're getting $5500. Buy it back

That is a third party estimate of the damages, not what the insurance offerered.

How else do you affix a roll cage in a truck? Double sided tape? :icon_confused:
I just kinda set mine in there and thought real hard about it not falling out.


Maybe that's why I don't have it anymore.

Doesn't really matter at this point what his policy states, what about the other guy's? They're the ones that are going to pay. Being your the "victim" in this case you have a little stronger bargaining point as to figures. If the frame isn't bent try the best you can from them totaling the truck. If it's branded with a salvage title it will be virtually worthless from this point forward. Look for other sales from vehicles as similar to yours as you can find will be your best way to get what you want. Good luck.
