In time you will see my beast get bigger and a lot more bad a--.

SWEEEEET!!!

Glad to hear from you. Good luck with all the repairs and mods! Post pics as the progress continues...

Why would unsprung weight increase stopping distance any more than normal weight? I don't even think it's rotational inertia would be as hard to counteract as the trucks directional inertia.

Sorry about your truck etc, NerveGas.

First, your description tells me NO question, it's totalled. The headlights alone are $500, the fender is over $440, then you have cladding ($250), all the suspension (easy $1000), the wheel retails for $600, then you have to do paint work, AND labor etc....it's a gonner. I'd let it go, take off your mods, and buy another VX that doesn't need any work and pour your money into that.

Also, I work 'around' Toyota's, and can't suggest the new Tacoma. The transmission is junk, misses up and down shifts etc. Not an impressive vehicle Looks cool, and sells a ton based on their history, but not a favorite. Maybe look into the new Suzuki Equator that hit the market.

Good luck and glad you are okay

The headlights alone are $500,

really??? because i bought my spare drivers side headlight for $400 less than that....

and im working on a drivers side fender for $150 right now...

i think your estimates are off.
and if you work at a dealership, that would explain it

Totalled or not its coming off the road. With damage to the suspension I can't trust it. Not to mention I can't afford to keep running a truck that is in and out of the shop constantly. I need reliable transportation. Thanks for the advice on the new taco. I'm really looking for an older one ('01-'04).

I learned of the sad news from Chris (Marlin) at ISUZUwharrie, but only just now found this thread…

I’m very glad to hear that you’re OK, and also that you plan to rebuild. --- Hopefully we’ll see you out on the trails when you’re done.


Cheers!
