    The adjuster fellow suggested it could be slightly bent since there is a slight gap where the fenders meet the body. WOW, if you had to spend $2,000 to buy back an 8 year old rig, my number is prob accurate.

    Disco accident pics, what do you think?

    Got some numbers. Damage exceeds the $5,866 teh vehicle is worth. Fawking salvage price is $1981, WTF high!?!?!? May not be worth buying back for that much when frame could be a smidge tweaked. :(

    Best technique for torquing crank pulley bolt? Also threadlock Q.
