Was stopped at a red light getting ready to make a left hand turn when WHAAAACCKKK!!! Korean lady driving a '99 Toyota Sienna fell asleep at the wheel and hit me on a quartering angle from the rear knocking me up onto the island. I love my truck, but I hope they just total it. Getting hit at that angle most-likely did frame damage and the truck will never feel right again. Nobody injured though.

That sucks dude. But I would find it hard to believe if they would total it... I have seen trucks in worse shape at my brothers body shop getting fixed.

That really sucks. Sorry to hear about it but glad everybody is OK.

Accidents are unfortunate but they happen everywhere. A good body shop will fix it like new. Nothing in those pictures that would cause the frame to be damaged. The frames under these trucks is very stout and suspension components are designed to break away rather than transfer energy to the core of the vehicle where the people are.

You really should be be glad that no real structural damage was done. :cheers:
