Damn dude, fight that payout number to maximize mod money.


I was just thinking about this thing in my hunt for a gmt800 2wd burb
It's been paid out. Quite well too. Lol.

It's gonna be basically restored on state farms dime with what was paid. And it wasn't a collision claim as it was My neighbors tree and claimed under their home owners liability.

So that's good for me. ?

Plan is to collect all the minty used parts to bolt on and do paint touchups and then dump the rest of the money into finishing my turbo 5.3 swap.

Maybe I'll search for some tan leather seat that arnt as fucked up as mine are. Or gamble on doing the covers myself. Idk yet.

Also would like to rip all the carpet out and order a replacement TAN rubber vinyl floor kit.. yes they make them. Lol

I'm too dirty to have high pile carpet like these have

Still can't find a not bent hatch in diamond white that is aluminum. But I have all the other paint matched parts needed. All OEM take offs too..

Oh and baby Girl got new shoes.

Found the deal of the year on MP.
39/22 dated Hankook dynapros with 10/32" tread for $260.

Gotta get it up to RAM for an alignment too, some day..

And promptly took them to discount tire to get them insured 😍
