That is one serious hit. Your truck will most likely get totalled out. From the photos, you definitely have sway, frame damage, and many other small things. If your cab shifted, you have more then front end frame damage.

My truck will be home this evening. Talked to the shop this morning and they are working on putting all of the trim back on. I am sure that the Ranch Hand saved my truck and trailer. The guy at the shop said that if the truck still had the stock bumper on it that it would have pushed the tree thru the engine compartment and totaled my truck for sure. He was telling me that is the number one thing that the insurance will use to total one of these trucks is the engine. With this kind of a hit I am sure that I would have been able to do and injector swap sitting in my drivers seat. Thanks guys for all of your support and I will post the repaired pictures as soon as I can. Does anyone have suggestions on things that I should maybe look at when i pick my rig up to look for things that may have been missed?

Congrats on getting the truck back, and I hope everything is okay when you get it. Good luck to you in the future, and make sure to put another Ranch Hand on there!!

For sure. The insurance company paid for putting a new Ranch Hand on it....so that part is covered. I guess it is about time to give the wife some driving lessons because she is going to need to use it next month for the Rodeos in Brenham, New Braunfels, and Liberty TX. It is hard for me to get off work for the 4 day rodeos.

Just joking bud, and glad you got the new bumper.

I am going to try my best to make the Liberty rodeo. It is Oct 16 thru the 19th. That should be close to your area. if you get out that way just look for my rig where all the trailers are parked and come by and say hi . I always keep a cooler full and on ice!

Sounds good bud. I should be home, because I have vacation for the DHRA form October 10-12th. If I am still in town, I might come by and say hello for a bit!! Nothing like a cold one, and a good Rodeo.
