I'd buy it for $100 as a parts rig. Figure you have a lot of suspension damage and possibly a bent frame, who knows with something like that. I'd be hard pressed to feel safe ever driving that on the road again.

If I bought it, it's a trail rig only. All the suspension will be changed in the form of SAS'ing it. The frame didn't appear to be stressed or cracked and even if it's not straight, why would it matter? I'm thinking about dove nosing it and d44 at least... Why would it not be safe for that?

And I don't really need it for parts... There ain't a lot on it I can use on my dd. The cab and glass(except windshield). The interior if I painted it..

I didn't see any frame damage. I didn't see... Dont mean there ain't any. The tree miss the intake, just caught the throttle body at an angle. I'll inspect it more for sure. I'm out camping this weekend so I can't go look more.
