My mini fixable you think?
 
Front end, mostly all of the impact was on the driverside corner and seeing how the wheel wells were cut out it bent like foil, no damage done to any part of the engine, just the radiator, core support, hood, driver side fender, core support mount, driver side frame rail got bent up a little in the front (see pictures),bumper,basically the whole front end.
 
 
driver side frame rail, my biggest concern on whether or not its fixable, can anyone let me know? (it's just bent
to where you see it tilted down a little, no further, and as you can see the core support/bumper mount got ripped off. :*( 
 
 
as you can see the engine is fine

*tears*, my daily, i wanna get it fixed, just wanted to hear your thoughts and ideas 
 
 
 
  

well sure its fixable...  If i were you id just clip it with a hilux front end... teh geometry is sooooooo much better and you can drive lower with much less camber....  i mean your going to have to pull the motor anyways t straighten the frame prolly so just dive in and get to it!!!!  thats horrible though man! hope you had good insurance!

Just take it to a frame shop. They will be able to put a new core support and mount back on after they pull the frame straight. All without pulling the motor or anything like that. If you can do the radiator and all the sheet metal , it won't be that much $$ to fix.

ehh the insurance i had wasnt that good :/. yea jeremy i am planning to buy the bumper, grill, fender, hood, etc with my own $$. That's good news to hear though about the frame shop, seeing how this is not only my daily but my first truck , not to mention the numerous hours of work i put into the setup. I was wondering just so i could get an idea what a rough estimate of all this would be?  more like a guesstimate? (if i spelled that right).   any frame shops in the riverside california area?  

very fixable...frame machine can take care of that bent area!!

I've got a bumper in Sacramento, Ca. Chrome 4runner. If you need it.

Yep just buy a new front clip, then u  might as well Z it for a body drop! Screw having the frame fixed.

its not that big of a deal bro....a few replacement parts and a quick pull with a frame machine and your in there  I don't have a clue what people charge out there for frame work. But out here I could have the frame fixed for just a couple hundred bucks. sorry to here that shit though man that sucks

aint nothing a body drop wont fix,  if $$ is  tight try a come along and a tree and pull it out.

I wI was thinking go ahead and build a new frame now so then it's also body dropped.lol
