keep us updated if they total it or not. but if they do u plan on gettin another tahoe or yuk???

Hopefully if they total it, it'll be enough to fix it because this is very bad timing for me. I'm still looking for employment.
I'll just have to wait to see what they say, keep my fingers crossed, and like a few have said.... fight w/the insurance company for every $$$.
I'll keep everyone posted when I know more.

Wow, that truly sucks. I hope things work out for you in getting it fixed.

Your truck is an inspiration for me since I have the same (at least very similar) 2-tone coloration. Mine just doesn't look nearly as nice.

Do you just have a 3" body lift, a little crank, and a little trimming to fit the 35s? I don't see a suspension lift.

Unfortunately I wish I had more info on the lift. The guy who had it before had done it. I can see the body lift blocks, and where the keys are located, but I'm really not sure about it.
The guy also had 35's on it before me, but they were bald as Capt. Picard on the inner, and outer treads, which I think he did to keep 'em from rubbing.
I bought the Goodyears, and had the installers trim the front bumper, and backing plastic piece so they wouldn't rub.
I wish I could tell ya' more man.

damn, stupid kid. Glad your ok. Poor truck :(

He said he didn't see me....WTF!!! How do you not see a lifted 2ton Blue truck with it's running lights on on a clear lit day???
Honestly I don't think he ever stopped, or looked, cause he came outta' that service road real quick. I'm almost positive he blew through the stop sign.

I posted up a few more pic's in my album where the back of his car hit the back passenger side of my truck, and pic's of what the engine bay looks like now.
