Default 2006 LX 470 -To total or not to total...

Sad news guys, I currently have a super clean 2006 LX 470 AHC rolling on 14 Tundra wheels and 33" KO2's that I have absolutely loved! However we had a freak hail storm here in Utah and it left slight dents all over the horizontal surfaces... Originally the insurance company said that it was fixable, and didn't find out until the body shop started into it, that they were going to total it. They will give me the option to buy it back, however they are still wanting $8500 and it will have a salvaged title AND still have the dents. I actually don't mind driving with it dented, because it is only slight, however I think they are asking way too much. So... I think I'm going to have to let it go.

I'm going to pull off my wheels and save them for the next build, but if any of you know of or see something worthwhile for sale, please let me know. I don't mind traveling if it's clean. Looking for a 2004+

Thanks!

These vehicles command a pretty high price at auction, but I’m surprised they are wanting $8500. As someone who watches auctions and deals in salvage title cars, I wouldn’t pay $8500 for your truck at auction.

Love the wheel tire combo, I have a new goal...…..That exact wheel / tire combo on my 2007. Perfect.
Any clearance issues?
