got pics. it's really hard to tell from pics, but they deemed it totaled. she said she stopped at 8,500. i dont see 8,500 worth of damage, but mesquite trees can do some real damage. i may buy it back anyways depending on the salvage value. i know people that fix things like this

I replaced the valance and fogs the night before it was stolen. they hit something. the plate is bent and a hole in the bumper. from what i understand, it was a ranch fence while cutting across the country offroad style: emblem is cracked.



not sure WTF they were looking at here.


atleast kick the mud off on the step bars looks like the plastic on the seat track is broken too.


radio out of place. just dirty. broken column

and no cool video like matt. it was found running in a field. supposedly once you start a silverado once without the chipped key, the vats system will not let it will not let it start without the chip for a 2nd time which means it has been running non stop for over 2 weeks and roughly 7k miles.

adds character.

I bet many of the miles were from it just spinning it's wheels.

Crazy what these mexicans will go through just to get here.

Makes me wonder how they can damage so many parts of it, sure it didnt cost them and they dont give a **** but lets say the arm rest, scratches,lost parts, back seat, broken winshield... im sure u really would like to see a video of how they did all that and while were at it u may want to have the guy stealing it from you face to face lol

Good luck on whatever u decide to do, its nor fair but try to make the best of it

If that happened to me I wouldn't be able to take that truck back, just knowing some dirt bag and his 15 fellow boarder jumpers sat in the truck.

just looking at those pictures reminds me of the smell that was inside mine when I bought it back . . . rotten sweaty butthole

I took everything out, pressure washed the interior, steam cleaned the seats twice, and aired it out over 2 weeks with the doors open and fans blowing through it

Its metal, carpet and glass. Not children, virginity, and bibles it can be fixed. But the question is does the cost of repair outweigh buying something else?

I think a pressure washer would go a LONG ways in this case. Its really hard to tell from pics alone.

It boggles my mind how people can do that. If I caught somebody trying to steal my truck, they'd have a familly of .44's or .45's living in them
