    2mchfun Cool story, but did your new TTV6 tow a shuttle?

    Looks great! I'm sure you'll be happy to have it back!

    I wonder how that GS350 that hit you came out. I am guessing it was totaled.

    Sorry it's sounds totalled, or should be insurance might see it differently. Might want to stress to the adjuster that you use it for towing and it can't be half fixed, and if the tranny goes early then you'll be submitting it for a claim

    Insurance set a value (for Totaling purposes) of just over $41,000. In my state, they use I believe 70%. Only actual body damage was to the left outer panel on the bed. They got a new one for it (took 10 weeks to get). Repainted the entire bed, tailgate so it all will match, and did a color match check with front of the body. Everything from the tranny back was replaced with the exception of the fuel tank basically. Laundry list of parts of course.
    I will keep an eye on the transmission. The truck is also on basically a full bumper to bumper warranty as well. So who knows. I did ask them to do a close inspection the transmission and they said it is ok. It has been on some test drives also and is doing alright. A popping in left front that I think is lift related (posted over in the suspension section on that).

    Totaled the Lexus. The other parties insurance has been decent to deal with also. I am thankful for that.

    Did the insurance cover the lift, wheels, tires, or other after market items?

    Yep, new rear shocks for the lift, new rear blocks, and a new aftermarket rim and $460 tire to go with it (Toyo M/T, 35x12.5x20)

    I had a parking lot incident with zero damage to anything I owned. Speeds less than 3mph? Insurance paid out $70K in personal injury. Insurance companies love to pay out, their cowards and will never go to trial. My premium increased by $400 annually. I am taking insurance company to small claims court for $400 (can only recover actual damages in small claims court). Insurance violated the contract with me by not doing any due diligence.

    I 100% guarantee irregardless of how well your Tundra was repaired you have loss at least $10K in diminished value. Simple find identical Tundra to your and put VIN in carvanna. Now put your Vin in carvanna, what's the difference?
