Bringing a 2009 Ram back from the dead

[awful knawful]

My latest project. This truck will be replacing my trusty old 89 Toyota.
How I got it:

how it looks now:

I did everything myself except for welding in and aligning the new side rail, paint and windshield. All new mopar parts.

how much did it cost for the wreck + fix compared to buying a new one.

 

[mysteed]

Wow, nice job man.

I'm in Canada, don't know if that makes a diff. But the title says salvage. Price, less than half of a new one. 17000 km (10 000 miles). Hit a moose. Here in Canada some people have "replacement" insurance. The owner got a new one.

I bought an '08 1500 almost two years ago, it's been great as a DD.

I just read another thread of a near encounter with a moose and here we can see the damage those big suckers can do.

Wow, what a transformation. Looks awesome and you've been a near new truck for a fraction of its original cost. Well done! :beer:
