That suck's been there but both sides on mine and they fixed it! Couldnt even tell the work was so professional. Small bodyshop, small town, still pride in their work.

Damn. Maybe I should tie some dead deers around my truck for added protection.

BTW. How are/were you liking those tires? I had thesame set previously and I got just about 70k miles out of them and only one was just about bald.

They might seeing as how the airbags went off. My sister hit a deer with an 2008 F250 and the airbags went off and they was the reason they totaled it. I wish you and your truck the best though, good luck!

LOL!

Well In my opinion, I wasnt too satisfied with them once i got them into a little mud, but that could be cause i didnt have it locked into 4x4, and I stoped. (stupid)

I put them on about 2 years agoe,probably put 30,000 to 40,000 miles on them. I was thinkin that i was gonna be needing new tires before winter hit. I was thinking of goin with General Grabber AT2's but now i dont know.

That sucks Cowboy. Well, hopefully the insurance adjuster doesn't total the thing. The problem with our trucks is, they don't hold their value (compared to other mid-sized trucks, Tacoma). As long as the cost to repair "X" is less than the value of the vehicle "Y", then it should not be a total-loss claim.
