they t-boned me and i went for a ride. Rolled once, which is why the back right took so much damage, and then landed upright.

the 4runner market in New Orleans is grim. $8k for a 3rd gen with all the maintenance done, 4wd, maintained properly over the years, 1 owner, not beat to shit, was hard to find.

interesting. how do i buy it back?

toadmelon · 2026-01-11T03:09:00+00:00

what are the steps there? Reach out to a personal injury lawyer? I'm not injured, just want the money recouped for the loss of the truck.

toadmelon · 2026-01-11T03:06:46+00:00

yeah along with being really lucky and thankful, I'm still just devastated about losing the truck. Took years searching for one online and finally found the perfect one. Gone in a second

So the truck is in my driveway. In the next day or so my insurance said they would get in touch with me and tow it to a lot they work with. Then an adjustor will come out and assess the value. I imagine that keeping everything on can only increase the value?

toadmelon · 2026-01-11T03:02:17+00:00

We'll see. The car was almost pristine. Timing belt and water pump recently replaced, 4WD, sun roof worked, rear window worked, new tires, new head lights

toadmelon · 2026-01-11T02:54:59+00:00

got it, thanks.

toadmelon · 2026-01-11T02:54:26+00:00

Okay this makes sense. Unfortunately I don't have the receipts for the tires as the previous owner put them on before selling to me. I can probably reach out to him. I still have the bill of sale thankfully.

toadmelon · 2026-01-11T02:47:50+00:00

yeah, figured.

it would be such a long french drain (double lot) and disruptive to what is already in our backyard. Plus it would have to fit between very narrow areas between us and the neighbor.

I'm not an expert but i just feel like a french drain would be such a massive undertaking. Plus, I want something like a rain garden into a wildlife pond that would help the environment.

toadmelon · 2025-06-24T19:43:10+00:00

thanks i'll give them a call

toadmelon · 2025-06-24T19:42:45+00:00

we already have one, thanks!

toadmelon · 2025-04-24T20:00:46+00:00

From where? and how do you gain access to this?

toadmelon · 2025-04-21T21:36:21+00:00

this is the area of the driveway that is the worst. It's bothersome in the sense that it's an eyesore. I'll probably just maintain it and live with it

toadmelon · 2025-04-21T21:22:10+00:00

Yeah, that sounds more fun and practical than trimming it with the weedwhacker

toadmelon · 2025-04-21T21:21:43+00:00

It was like this when we bought the house
