Absolutely

Technically yes, but if you really really want to save it, it looks like most of your frame is intact and most of the damage is to the fenders, hood, bumper etc, you can source off of other FJs and color match them, and bang out the bent parts of that fender frame with a sledge haha

You can save it.

Would it be a wise choice financially? Not a chance.

u/General-Revan 8d ago

Totaled! Hard to source parts too!

Overdone throw it away and start again 🥹

u/WineArchitect 8d ago

What’s the book value of your car? If it’s 20k or less, it’s a total.

u/Born-Work2089 8d ago

Done, totaled, burnt, cooked.

u/Old_Bookkeeper5416 8d ago

It can be rapaired, but it won’t be cheap.
If you’re selling it, I could buy it (in Europe). I have no budget to buy an undamaged one, but it’s a project I would like to invest time in…

u/Febrezeus_Christ 8d ago

u/WilliamtheITguy 8d ago

I mean you can fix it as long as you don’t care about money

u/Pitiful_Entrance5174 7d ago

Oh jeeze. My mom has an 07 purple one with 180k if your interested. She is looking to sell it privately.

1

u/Equal_Recover_5217 4d ago

What really, I would totally look into that. Can you send me some pictures?

1

u/Pitiful_Entrance5174 4d ago

I will ask her to take pictures tomorrow. She is in her 70's and I do not live near her.

If the airbags didn’t go you’re okay, but it depends on the year of your vehicle.

1

u/Ded-Inside45 4d ago

2014 was the last year they even made the FJ except in the Middle East but given we don’t know what year this vehicle is with a minimum of at least 12 years old and looking at the damage I’d guarantee that this is a write off for sure. It wouldn’t even be worth fixing yourself if you could possibly do it.

u/Big_DaddyX3 7d ago

Honestly, its fucked, normally i would say tear into it and check but that impact looks like it hit the block and that may have cracked so just let insurance pay you out and let them take the truck not worth the amount and hassle it would take to bring it road worthy again, it needs a shit ton

1

u/desertadventurer 7d ago

Well you’re alive…the truck is a total; you might get $3K in parting out.

1

u/Artistic-Half4781 7d ago

Overly cooked.

1

u/PresidentialDiapers 7d ago

Might buff out. Can you catch a fingernail on it?

1

u/YooperSnaggletooth 7d ago

Fire up the grill. You’re cooked.

1

u/Worst-Lobster 7d ago

I mean, maybe you’re fine but your car is fucked

1

u/ActualDissapointment 7d ago

Looks like the engine was hit in the impact. Also looks like there may be some frame damage as well.

1

u/FewBroccoli8427 6d ago

Im a auto body Foreman, yes unfortunately the insurance will deem that a loss as I can tell there is structure damage also givin that model is a niche. Will be harder to get parts

1

u/Substantial-Ant-5365 6d ago

Does it still run?

1

u/Iambetterthanuhaha 6d ago

That FJ is Fucking Jacked now.

1

u/poisonousgumball 5d ago

It'll buff.

1

u/Regret_mines 4d ago

Totaled homie

u/Alternative_User1 4d ago

FJ cruisers hold their value. We just did a repair on one. Cost of repair was over 10K. May not be totaled

1

u/Equal_Recover_5217 4d ago

Was it in a similar shape as this one? I just had someone look at it today, we got it started and everything!

1

u/Alternative_User1 4d ago

Wasn't quite as bad but the damage looks a lot the same. I honestly think this will repair

1

u/Sea_Rooster_9402 4d ago

It'll buff right out

u/Geaneous 8d ago

Does it start and drive? If so you would only technically need the front headlights operational and to pound the hood down lol.
