Were you in the raider at the time?

Have any pics?

Where did it hit? Directly in the middle or towards the front or rear?

Where you up against a curb on the other side?

Please details.

Who was at fault?

Real sorry to hear that. As asked, where was it hit and what was damaged? You might be able to repair it and keep it as a driver, because it doesn't take much to "total" these trucks on paper.

The Raider is still very driveable. I was in it at the time and let me tell you a 10' snow plow attached to a salt truck looks like a freight train when its comin' at ya <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> I was able to swerve so he just peeled/skinned the pass side pretty deep. The pass door doesnt open and there is a deep gouge behind the right rear tire and on the rocker. I will try and get pics up. I will see what they say tommorrow when we meet, I will probably sell it whole since like I said it is still very roadworthy. Thanks for the offers on the parts and the help........more to follow <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Been there. Damn Allstate wanted to total my Monty all because of a fender and a bumper <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" /> they are just a bunch of blood suckers vultures that all they want is your monthly insurance premium payment <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />
It still makes me blow a gasket every time I think about it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/evil.gif" alt="" />

Uffff sorry for that!!!

If it's still road worthy fix it man, fix it

Doesn't seem like the image UBB code likes your link, but the link below can be clicked to view. Yeah, that'd take some work, but isn't unreasonable to fix.
