I have a black eddiebauer 4x4 with a 3 inch body lift and 35in. swampers with an incredible audio system. My PROBLEM is that I got run off the road the nigh before thanksgiving and my right quarter pannel and entire tire and wheel assembly up to the axle got sheered by a fire hydrant! GREAT! So my truck has three wheels but the engine never got hit or messed up because the hydrant sheered off my entir wheel. The reason it was able to take the wheel off without destroyint the front and engine is because my tire sticks out further than my fender. So MY QUESTION IS??? after its fixed is it worth keeping. I lost the wheel up to the front axle but the damage didn't maked it to the transfer case or transmition. I really would appreciate any help because I don't know if it too damaged to want to keep after its fixed or will it be simply just fixed?

Thanks

 

The truck is repairable. As for having any future problems, I would say trust the word of a good body repair place. Odds are, you trashed the upper/lower A-arms and half-shaft not to mention probably the back of the wheel well. Having added a lift to my truck myself, I'm all to familiar with the underside of the truck. Just make sure that the brackets on the frame are still in decent shape (they are probably bent some due to the sheer force involved in the accident).

Hope this helps
