Air bags are LOUD and smell like shit...

Right you are^^^^

Think about it man. 12 year old vehicle, 171,000 miles on the body and transmission, new motor 35,000 miles ago. Airbags, Clutches in ALL the seatbelts popped when the bags deployed, Frame was tweaked, headlights, fender (inner and outer), hood, CA emissions unit where the second battery tray is, radiator, core support, bumper, grille, tire, wheel, fan and shroud.

In NC when it adds up to 75% of the vehicle value it is totaled...

I'm super bummed to see it gone...I've had this truck since I was 16.

I'm sure you are. It does suck when you've been building something up for a while and it get destroyed like that.

It is super weird, mixed feeling for sure, happy to get something new, but sorry to see it leave.
