Yes, but it works better if you collect the insurance check, buy your own parts and do most of the work yourself.
Otherwise your box goes back together mostly stock and you are still out your deductible. And you have no money left for new mods.

Try going 40 on a back road and a deer jumps out from behind a line of shrubbery and hitting it while its in mid air.
That was $2400 to fix 2 years ago.

Try doing it on a motorcycle like I did a year ago. Peeled me right off the bike and I got to slide accross the blacktop.

deer travel in herds/packs. Where there is one, there are more 99% of the time. By the time you see their eyes from a distance, its too late. Best off just knock down the speed and lay on the horn to try and scare them off.
