oh, it is totaled. hahaha, but I made out on the deal.. or as much as I could.
They could only value my truck as a stock since Massachusetts doesn't cover modifications in insurance.
so my truck was valued at 8500 (BOO! so low) minus deductible and salvage fee (bid from junk yards) is how I got that amount.
THEN, because the year of the truck (1998) they do not require me to get a new title OR have a saftey inspection after repairs.
So, I have some money to either buy new parts, or ask for estimates for local places and have them repair it.
watch out for black ice...

Re: watch out for black ice...
Amanda you can buy an unmolested 97 TJ for 3500 with a 4.0L if you ask me you scored! I dont think 98s are a lot more. You can likely get a new tub for cheap and do a swap with a new cage etc from the bone yard... Kai found a rubicon for under 5K IIRC from a CL ad I posted...
