    Welp, RIP Tundra. Hit and run driver while it was parked in front of my house. And I NEVER leave it out there. Except my driveway was full. Took the truck up to snowboard today and buddy left his vehicle in my full driveway. Oh ya, buddy broke his collar bone on the first run today so we came back early

    Today I read through this thread. Didn't understand how such a kick ass build had a title like this....

    Hello page 8.

    If you drop a slice of pizza...it will always land cheese side down. Guaranteed. Sorry this happened.

    Don't yet have a clip of the wreck because my doorbell cam was down, but you can hear it in this clip about 9 seconds in, and see the white box truck drive off a few seconds later

    That’s really messed up, sorry to see the results of irresponsible dick people.
    Take off as much as you can before insurance gives you Pennie’s for it.

    Scott, it sucks to see this happen to your truck. I hope you find the box truck responsible. I saw this yesterday and then this morning see your post on the Nextdoor app..... We must be neighbors. Let me know if I can help in any way or if you want to go shred sometime. I usually ride Loveland pass and shuttle or hitch hike.

    I think I'm gonna focus back on my M3 for a bit. I kinda left off in the middle of an interior redo when I started the jeep project. About the only mechanical thing it needs is rod bearing replacement. And I've been putting off that $2500 shop visit for three years. So I'm gonna call and get that scheduled next week. It's been under a stupid good warranty since I bought it in 2015. Paid it off in 2018, but I got a lifetime warranty on it, bought it at an exotic car dealership and they talked me into it. Warranty was $4500 and has so far paid for itself off more than double. I always hand them a sheet of issues and say milk warranty for everything you can lol. They replaced the SMG hydraulic transmission pump, I paid $100, they paid $5200 lol.

    People suck (not all of them, but a lot of them); I can't imagine doing this and just driving the fuck off like nothing happened :mad:

    Sorry that this happened to your truck. Is insurance definitely totaling it out, or are you waiting to see how that plays out?

    Spoke with insurance this morning. They again asked me if I could take it to a shop, but after telling them it's not drivable, they offered to send out an adjuster to my house. Will take place on Wednesday. Not really anything else I can take off the truck until they look at it. Will have to spend tomorrow putting the factory intake manifold back together so it at least runs

    No luck, unfortunately. And not holding my breathe on that either.
