Smile One VERY happy camper :)

Well the mail man finally showed up at 5:20 this afternoon, so I called my body shop guy, and asked if we could meet at the shop to get the truck, he said sure thing.

Edit: Got new pictures of her today:










It looks pretty damn good I think. AllState didn't pay for a complete paint job ($2000 BTW), but they did pinstripe the whole truck so it matches, looks sweet.

The front almost looks a little off, the whole time I had it the bumper was dented in the middle, dog run in, which caused the ends to buckle, and the top of the grille was cracked, run in with a cow, so I've never seen it not messed up to some degree.

But I'm very happy. Better pictures to come tomorrow, camera going dead, sun going to Japan, or where ever it's headed.

Looks good. Did you have them put on nerf bars while it was in the shop?

No, it had the nerf bars on it when I bought it, BUT, being it's only 4x2 I'm too big to get under it enough to do anything with them on, so I took them off, then put on slightly larger wheels/tires so put them back on. But, I think I'm taking them back off, just looks cleaner without them IMO.

The body shop even got my little walmart bumper lights out of the old bumper and installed them in the new one! I think I found a keeper body shop for future needs

Yeah all depends on how useful they are to a person. It would annoy me without them on mine because its quite a stretch without them.

Yea, you've got the 4x4 lift, any extra? I'm gonna put some 2" or 2.5" spacers to level the front, which may help a little.

No its just the stock 4x4. But if you can see in my sig, when its on level ground the front end sits lower than the back so i want to get a leveling kit, but i am more worried about fixing my door rust right now.

I'm thinkin the title status wasn't changed any, since the insurance company didn't "total" it.

I'm pretty sure the camera angle was playin tricks, it's lined up I'll take better pictures tomorrow when I have better light. However, the grille on the bottom seems a tad higher on the passenger side then the driver side, maybe 1/2" or so. Weird.
