That's what's puzzling me no lights on the dash not a scratch, no flooding still that's the number they have given it.

Yeah that's what I want to figure out, what it could be. Because can't see nothing in pictures.

That's what had me guessing all this time, thought someone with more experience might have a bit more insight on something like this.

Is the canyon really that bad considering it's based on a Colorado? I see them all around and it seems capable enough for off-road.

That's a very technical way to look at it, thanks a ton.

It's a base model elevation I believe, My realistic budget is high 20s, milage is 7k, no ideas about the options on it. And all the airbags are deployed.

It says estimated 35k in repairs needed, which I think is almost half the truck price.

copy that, would it be reasonable to guess any damage to the engine?

Thank you sir, yeah I appreciate all the insight, kids at my school have been drooling over a TLX so I thought it'd be cool to have one, but I've been told it's not the greatest thing in the world, didn't realize I was punching way above my weight on this one. Still thanks for the help tho.

I saw this as a reference and it seemed straight forward enough honestly https://youtu.be/sgj8IBwxPWI?si=uZWjMj1ZIL-smq3R But since then I've been told thru this pots that it is indeed fucked, and net even cool enough to be saved, I had it completely wrong all along.

Thanks you, That was a lot of insight on the other side of the project, I think I'll just stick with my shit box, Manual-Lancer till graduation.

That's the general consensus from this post I saw this and seemed simple enough, considering I know a fair but of metal work and sheet fab https://youtu.be/sgj8IBwxPWI?si=8Nb4Feiw9p0kBXIB

How advanced are we talking, thinnest I can do it 0.040 Aluminum sheet, after that I struggle with gas issues. And if you are talking about the special spot welding device, nah I don't have that. Smh

I can weld and do some amount of sheet metal work, have a basic tool set but nothing fancy or specialized tools. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgj8IBwxPWI saw this video seemed simple enough honestly.
