      damn, $25k fix on an explorer? I would have thought it would be totaled for sure.

          They are $35-40K trucks, I was surprised too. Its largest repair amount I have ever seen.

            You would be surprised sometimes. New and low miles keeps replacement value high. If it was a 40k truck, 75% is still 30k.

            We did a Titan with ~300 miles on it, rollover, and they had just hit the lots. It was a firewall and floor pan for a long time, as parts werent in production yet from OE.

                No way in hell would I take a repaired car like that. As great a job as I'm sure you guys did, it will NEVER drive the same as new and there will be rattles, interior electrical issues, etc. over the years without a doubt.

                  agreed, and I don't see blown air bags (at least in those pics)... they should've popped em to get it totaled.

                    Oh, are we back on the "if the air bags blow, its totaled" bullshit again?

                        Allstate tried to do that BS cutting the front of the frame off for a new section on my F250, thankfully I filed it on my insurance with State Farm and they totaled it.

                            We test drove and ran it throught some tough terrain, she seemed all good. We made damn sure everything was welded, panel bonded and seam sealed. I had my best technician on it. He's the one that does all my dfwstanger's vehicles when y'all bring them in. I was very happy out how nice it came out with no gremlins so far.

                              If its a good tech putting it together, it may very well be MORE solid than the machines at the factory.
