New bumper, exhaust, bed, tailgate... Make sure they look at the bottom edge of the bed and the sides where they wrap down along with your exhaust being bent up. It could be a lot more than just a bumper. If it's just the bumper, you should try to get a Reunel bumper.

looks like $2185.00

OEM chrome bumper $600.00
OEM carpet insert interior $455.00 (i dropped my cigarette when she hit me and it burned my carpet...only burn in the entire truck...thats the only reason i got that)
2 Exhaust tips $90.00
Dash Cap $515.00 (i hit it with my hand when she hit me...and it cracked)
Labor $525.00

i think i did pretty good...may have to do this more often.

That is sweet! You get a new dash, bumper, and carpet out of this! When is it gonna be done? And are they using Mopar parts?

My dad hit a deer in his S-10 and the insurance company ended up paying off the bank loan on both thr S-10 and the Dodge. But the S-10 still looks like crap!

the carpet and dash deal are funny. i can't believe the insurance company didn't tell you that you were full of it.
so are they gonna cut you a check or just pay the repair shop?

i have the check in hand...RIGHT NOW!

the only reason that the insurance company went with the dash and carpet are because i am the only owner of the vehicle and the interior is emaculate.

honestly...i know im bragging about factory interior...but it really does look good. when detailed it looks as good as it did when i bought it.

as far as fixing the dash goes...if i buy a used one it could crack a week later. the crack on mine is barely noticable because it is on the drivers side by the door (i thinks that how i got away with it...looks like i hit it with my hand). i could buy one of those dash caps...but it would have to be painted and i think the stock dash looks better.
