There are some OEM HID's on eBay. You should upgrade since you have a broken headlight. For the cost of a new one you can buy the HID's.

A reputable shop will have that truck looking and performing like new. No worries.

No worries? have you heard of Car fax and deminished value at trade or resale time. because it was deemed the OPs fault his insurance will pay to fix it [less deductable] but they will not entertain a claim for deminished value. this could amount to hundreds if not thousands of dollers.

That sucks, glad everyone is ok. I have 275/65 18's and my brakes stop on a dime! I think they are a bit touchy so I don't think adding brakes would help.
Unfortunately you learned that stupid people drive and cause us people with common sense headaches!
People are too freaked out about car fax and all the other BS, that will apply to the guy that trades his truck in every year but once it gets past the point for trade in return you will get good money.
It will look like new when done and you will be enjoying your smooth ride once more.

I plowed into the back of a woman who slammed on her breaks at a green light. (everyone is ok) has anyone else wrecked their truck?? Im concerned it just wont be he same! the damage looks much worse that what i think it really is, engine ran fine just a slight wistle from the radiator or intercooler, i asume they will be replaced...
Just be sure to bring it to a reputable shop. Hell, if you live in Mass bring it to my shop! Haha! We need work!

Sucks man. However, this kind of stuff happens. A body shop will make that truck look like nothing ever happened to it. They will replace all the wrecked parts and paint it the exact same color of your truck. About a month ago my drove my truck and at a turn took the whole quarter panel of the bed out with a pole. I was also mad. Now that it is fixed, I even forget which side it is. A body shop guy once told me It is all parts just bolted together, you remove the old wrecked parts and put new ones in. So, it will be all good.

Not just cosmetic just fixed the exact damage the bumper was bent the same and everything. Was about a $15000 hit. There is alot more to the fronts of the ecos than a regular truck. The intercoler was back ordered 6 months. Yours looks a little worse hope you have rental coverage it may take a while.
