Here's the deal--on June 13th I was rearended in Chris' blue '88 FJ62. After getting the runaround by the at fault insurance company for the last two months, they have totalled the truck. 
My question to y'all is about buying the salvage on it. Would anyone be interested in this truck if we bought it back? I just can't stand to let it go to a salvage yard if there is someone here that could use it.
She took a very hard hit to the driver side rear. The tailgate is crunched beyond repair. The liftgate was hit, but not as extreme. The back quarter panel is crunched. The axle was pushed forward and the suspension tweaked.
The good is that the rest of the body is good. The engine has 360,000 miles. Everything was running as it should until the wreck. Lots of good salvageable parts or if someone wanted to replace/repair the broken stuff they would a good truck or a beater for wheeling. I don't have the time or desire to part it out so it would have to go as a unit. She would have to be trailered--she does drive so it would get on a trailer with no effort.
I have to check on the salvage price, but I won't do that until I know if there is interest in it. I also don't know if we would get the blue title back or if they would give it a salvage title.
Post up with your thoughts, or pm me direct if you are interested. I would feel lots better about this if the truck could live on for someone else!!!
