They will probably end up being the matched set, after I put all new coolant hoses on. These brand new 8yo+ hoses are not sealing, are brittle and cracking. So just drain and flush, change all hoses, and refill, ez pz.

The shaddow likes it, she said she would get in another wreck with this truck, trailer was not included but picked up in transit. First things on the agenda: dash cam, air ride seats, more reflective tape, more lights viewable from the rear.

big cam, 16 speed, no ashtray on the door though

For those of you following, their insurance paid for the 5T, so yesterday, its replacement showed up. Just in time for Christmas. Her name is AMi. 1979 AMi General M916, 2009 TXRSMS rebuild, 367 miles when picked up.

Insurance bought it, they wanted 1/5th of the check if i wanted to buy it back. I told them to come get it, it wasnt worth 1:5th of the payment

Guess I should have inked a lexus symbol on the door before she left

And then there were none. I did send her off with her ribbons on, I figured she deserved that.

Mudflap brackets like this but removable for towing short necked trailers. Towlights high mounted on spare tire lifting tree

I already have one picked out, and already engineering ways to put more lights on the back of the cab so there isnt a visibility question even though I know there isnt a visibility issue with the factory lighting. Luckily there is no rush to get this resolved either, gives time to do it right...

After having another green iron owner come by and look with me, well the frame is out of square. thats the cab mount on the right side, see how the bolt is leaned forward. Exhaust bracket on frame behind cab, space between bracket and frame rail, paint is 'cracked' This crossmember...

Spend 4 hours digging thru tm's and MAC charts building just a time estimate for repairs. Insurance adjuster was like... 'uh, um, I, uh... I dont know where to start to look.' Estimated time for just the visible damage according to the MAC chart including initial and follow up tasks is 82...

Every day I have gone out and said 'Thank you' to her, and everyday I find some other place that she was displacing all of that energy. Today, it was the bell housing that I found.

I am thinking I will get one with forward and rear facing camera, and then place the camera so it can see inside the cab and out the rear window.

I agree, at least some kind of... if this happens, do this. I am very glad it happened to us in that truck rather than my wife's new Subaru, and those are supposed to be one of the safest cars. I am so thankful that we had big iron to absorb the energy from the other car. I only have lap...

I am not doing anything until insurance says something. Even set up a tow truck to come get it to get a 'not me' estimate, just waiting for directive from insurance.

Had time to get a closer look at damages, hit so hard it broke the transfer shift rod and the torque rods tagged each other enough to take the paint off. Truck wont build more than 80 lbs of air, so havent chased down any broken air lines yet.

Update on driver and pax of lexus, driver has a broken shoulder ... something, pax has a broken foot.

Another photo sent to me this afternoon from a different angle, so i did drive almost straight forward.

I am speculating here, but I think i jerked the wheel back right to straighten up and locked up the brakes and skidded the rear, to the left. then he tagged me and got me sideways in the road. I didnt see any skid marks that moved me sideways, but you can see where i left a trail of oil and...

I was almost slowed to turn, I think I started my turn, looked in the mirror and saw him start around me, then straightened out, I think. I dont know why they would attempt to pass in a no passing zone. That is a 70 mph zone so yes, high speed.
