Hello all newcomer here. My name is Clayton I purchased this comanche last year off of a old man for 3700$ It is a 89 4.0 4x4 manual longbed with 80k miles and it already had some type of lift and a dana 44 rear end. I was planning on fixing it up little by little when bam! some stupid girl in a ford taurus blew a stop sign hit my drivers side rear tire and back fender she was maybe going 15-20mph at most well she bent the rim and blew the back tire. Obviesly her fault her insurance company totaled it because they said the axel was bent. ive been arguing with her dumb insurance company for the past three weeks on the worth of my comanche well the most I got was 4,000$ and they gave me the truck back. So I have been trying to decide what to do and I think I'm going to put the 4,000 back into the truck. What do you guys think? do you thing she could have bent the axel? also do you think 4k will restore it with maybe a paint job and a lift? let me know what you guys think thanks! before and after pics below.
