    Mate glad to hear all you guys where ok thats the main thing.

    From the panel beating side of things, being a panel beater that is all not that bad. Have fix worse collisions than that.

    Thing is you see something like that and say whhooo thats a right off, but its whats under the panels and behind the bar and from looking at the pics its not that bad buddy. it looks really bad cause of the ouside panels, prob spend more on resetting the air bags if anything. Keep your chin up buddy and hunt around and smash shops.

    cheers simon

    Far out
    I'm glad you, your son and your dog are fine
    We hit a very small roo in the Peugeot just before Armidale a year or so ago, bit of damage to the bumper and a smashed headlight and that was it
    Very lucky you had a bullbar

    If the chassis isn't bent i think it should be alright, i do a bit of work in a smash repair place and have seen alot worse panel damage than that get fixed up, but i think alloy is a different story
    We might be able to help out with a panel, wrong colour though.

    CHEERS TIM.

    It'll be $3,000 just to replace the bullbar, winch and bashplate. Due to the twisting of the bar it broke the rods that connect the two ends of the winch housing, and bent the alloy bashplate

    The radiator/intercooler has been shoved back into the fan too...

    Sorry to hear that mate. did you have Insurance???? i reckon the first and formost thing look at is the truck its self, the bullbar, winch and bash plate are just an add on's which you can chase later on. depending on your finacial situation and how much you love your car you would be able to fix it without a prob, seeing that whether you buy second hand parts or new.

    With second hand parts i'd go with the panels of the car, lights and things like that. really hard to tell of the damage until the panels have come off, spewin your not in melb mate, would love to help ya out..
