Hey what did you use for support for the come along? One of my friend's say that I can attach it to the tow hitch on my other vehicle, but that's kind of risky if something so happens to give. I looked at the damge once again and it does looks more repairable then I imagine. I was thinking of replacing the entire radiator support, so that it'll be easier to work on the inner fender well. I think my ac condesor and my raditor got cracked in the accident. The only concern is that I dont know if he support is spot welded on, I do have the tools to remove the welds, but I'm no welder. In the AC forum, someone mentioned they used self tapping screws instead.

Thanks.....mws, the after picture looks like it wasn't damage at all! The only problem I'm concerned about is the inner fender well. Notice in the 2nd & 3rd picture, it looks kinked. The battery sit's higher than the top of the fender well and not allowing my hood to close. I'll see what I can do.....

Thanks for the warm welcome, there's a lot of good info as well as people willing to help

Here it is:

Cool...I was going to put in my first order yesterday on a complete set of MOOG tre. I called and ask how do I get a discount code and they said I needed to be a returning customer......thanks, I will use it

Hey Swimmer, I know the feeling of wrecking! I too wreck my front passenger side, I dont think I bent the fram though. My interior is red also!!! Anyways, did your pathy come with a moonroof? If so, do you have the interior cover with the screws? Is the center console still good? I'm looking for the entire piece? Thanks

My whole alignment needs to be replaced and I was searching for parts. I rarely go off-roading, but I do want to beef up the steering a little. As far as tie-rod ends among the brands, which would be preferred? Moog, Beck/Arnley, & McQuayy Norris? I know Moog is a solid brand, but I've read their idler arm is weak. Has thier quality going down for the tre? I was going to get the generic package from e-bay (tre and ball-joints) but decided to spend a little more money in that department.

Thanks cdhicks....I'm not looking for it to be like brand new but somewhat decent enough. I tried attaching a picture, but it's not showing up.....

It's been a long hot summer in Vegas and now the weather is cooling down. I had plans to fix up my rig, but I got stupid and decided to drive home from a bachelor party in March. I spun out on the freeway (luckily no injuries and no cars) and hit the passenger side of my truck on the freeway barrier. I've been ordering parts here and there, but I'm not sure if I should fix it myslef; with the help of friends OR take it to a body shop. The inner fender well and radiator support is bent and creased. Some say it can be fixed with the proper tools and other's say I may need to cut & weld. Has anyone done such a task in the worse case scenario??

Just registered on this board....looks good and alot of familar faces on here!!!
