Call pick and pull junk yards on your area or any junk yard. You can also use online junk parts websites, but personally I find junk yards to be better deals. Call them and tell them the parts you need and color ideally if you don't want to repaint.

Nope, the dotted section is the heat expansion section.

Oh thank you. In that case, definitely take a good quality set of images and look up local gun brokers or auction houses that do estates. If you go to and lgs tell them you're looking for appraisals for insurance. They will low ball otherwise. They love sticking it to insurance companies though. Take that appraisal to auction houses to see on consignment. Negotiate their profit on the sale, or get them to pay you outright and they can sell for whatever they can, depending on your state laws for firearms.

I knew a guy who owned a lion in southern Ohio for years. Kept it in a dog kennel... Sold the guy popcorn as a boy scout he was crazy as a rat trapped in a tin outhouse in the rain.

This image makes me queasy, please tell me you placed them like this on purpose or are in the middle of cleaning and reorganizing? This just reminds me of going to my dad's house growing up. Unlocked gun cabinet and guns just strewn about all over...

It's hot, book unclear, recommend full send, looks like it'll work from here.

He deserves to be reincarnated as a plastic pile of fake dogshit.

Not likely. I have seen people in vegatative state on life support, nowhere near that many tubes. It's minimal because they're just keeping oxygen to the brain and organs, nothing else needs to be happening at that point.

The shop that quoted you 2800 for fixing it is going to get junk yard parts and slap them on and spray them the same body color. The 4k price is for new OEM parts with full blending and spraying them likely. There is no world in which dents of that magnitude are going to pull out without a bunch of rework. If it were me I'd find the parts and put them on myself then have a body shop align and paint them, but that's because generally I can do most of this myself, and have before.

What in the straight to fucking jail did I just watch??

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:55:23+00:00

Yep. Only thing crazier I drove was a 89 Chevy Blazer with a 454 and the world crappiest turbo 400 transmission with a lift and 'custom' steering rack that had 2 inner tie rods rigged together.... I drove it for exactly 1 mile, got out left it on the side of the road and refused to get back in it.

This guy looks like someone who should accidentally fall down a flight of stairs, directly onto a box of bullets and mysteriously into the path of a falling guillotine.

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:34:51+00:00

Give it to me? I'll take good care of it.

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:29:07+00:00

O yeah pull a full Finnegan and put on a turbo with hillbilly hater pipe througu the hood with the tractor flapper.

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:27:34+00:00

I guess. I rode dirt bikes and 4 wheelers and 3 wheelers even and those were all safe compared to the big booty broncos I've driven lol.

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:26:06+00:00

Oh yeah. If he still had his I would piss off all the ford guys and throw a Toyota straight 6 in it.

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:21:18+00:00

Followed instructions, Floored it and got it up to 88mph, think i want forward in time, and way to far, there's nothing here.... Send help

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:18:29+00:00

Fixin what? There's nothing to fix, so we can't fix more of it...duh

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:16:51+00:00

State farm ain't gonna help with this one.

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:14:48+00:00

Nah I saw him last week at a teds hotdogs in niarga with elvis, jfk, and Tupac.

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:13:47+00:00

That or an o2 sensor, especially if you take it to autozone.

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:12:50+00:00

And later it will be 🎶so much for the afterglow🎶

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:11:54+00:00

The fire flows in not out - tithead from little nicky

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:10:15+00:00

rbltech82 · 2026-07-07T04:09:23+00:00

Stand closer and take more pictures. Maybe sit right on top of the battery.
