Welcome friend! I throw my lot in with the rest - this is the place. Facebook groups are good for local buy/sell/meetup stuff.

By golly If I win the mall-crawl month I'll sell the truck

I figured. More info never hurts. Bummer that they totaled it out. I feel like insurance companies are a bit hyper active. My truck is rebuilt title because of very similar damage. It cost about 2 grand to replace the bumper and grille + massage out some of the bends in the sheet metal. Pretty...

Whatever you do, DO NOT do the genesis dual battery kit (or any other) where they're both in the front left corner of the car together. Worst mistake I've made on my truck - way too much weight to put in one spot. I assume by your comment about compatibility with the snorkel though that you're...
