For the low miles, and condition, he appraised my truck at just over 25K. Not bad since I've had it 3 years, and only paid $22,800 for it.

Did they do a full tear down of it yet? I've had numerous vehicles get totalled out after tear down.

Your ***** on there. No he has only done the visual inspection. He can't even tell me why the entire truck leans hard to the right side. It's supposed to be picked up and go to the body shop that I've picked out, tomorrow. So it is, going to get worse yet.

Fingers crossed. 10k of damage is no joke, being only 3 k away from being totaled can easily be eaten up in 'unseen' damage, like the suspension work. Maybe we could find you a used 2015 to love again. Two wheel drive, of course.

I have already been eyeballing a 2013 XLT 4x2 in the Kodiak Brown color that I like, with the same interior that I have, and the 5.0

Only 4 wheel drive truck I've ever owned, is Ka'Bluey. And living in Missouri for almost 50 years, where we get more snow, and ice, and tornadoes that this part of North Carolina will hopefully ever see, I've learned how to get where I need to get with a two wheel drive vehicle. |
And it cost' less. I'd rather have more truck, or goodies for the truck, than having front wheels that spin.

That makes sense, I tend to find myself in tight spots that 2wd just won't do..... especially during hunting season.

i thought it was funny all my grandfathers life he said that if you couldnt get up his driveway in a 2wd vehicle then you didnt know how to drive.. the last couple winters i went up to visit him he couldnt make it up his driveway in his 08 f150 5.4 2wd pickup... but mine in 4wd made it to the top..

but took some pics... decided to sand the facia boards down so that we could hit them with the sealer stain too... but along the way i got distracted with the steps when i got to them.. lol


since i was tearing apart the steps i put up my redneck version of caution tape to keep others from falling...

I won't take anything nice out in the woods.
I'm pretty picky on how I take care of my stuff. And being that way, when I sold the last truck, it was a tank of fuel away from turning 200K, and was almost as clean as my 2011. Well before two tree's fell on him.

That was a hell of a race last night, alot of badass trucks showed up. Was supposed to start at 2, but do to a large storm that rolled in a little after 12 and didn't get out tell a little after 2 it was able to start tell closer to 4. Then ran non stop from 4 until a bout 11:30. I ended up working the race, I ran the tape measure and kept the finish line timers clean.
