Wow, you swerved just in time from the looks of the pics.

Looks like you need a new fender, front passenger badge, both passenger doors, a mirror and a new bed side.

Good luck and hopefully the guy's insurance doesn't give you too much trouble.

Now that you have a reason to replace the mirrors you should either get the power ones or a set of the 09-10 manuals.

Also when I pulled over after the accident on the side of the highway I looked back and saw tractor trails swerving bad around it so I didnt want to be there either.
That is a crappy place to have any issues, let alone an accident.
Although, when traffic is going smooth, or non existent, that part of the highway feels like a race course. Kinda like parts of the Sawmill Pkwy.

Still glad to hear you're ok.

That'll buff right out, lol. Glad to hear everyone was alright. Did it get low enough to ruin the rims?

You'll probably need a new tire too, hard to tell but looks like the sidewalls got shredded pretty bad.

Glad everyone is okay, close call!

Sorry to hear about the bad news. Glad your ok. I thought people where I live were crazy, racing and zig zagging all over the place. You have very good driving skills.

That's going to be a long and expensive repair. Lucky you don't have to pay for it, but the wait still sucks. Sorry to see that.
