I can finally look at these pics of the damage without wanting to 
so I figured I'd post them up.
I'm heading to the body shop to check it out in the morning so I'll grab some pics of how she sits now.
She smelt the moose on the truck:
For those of you that don't know the story. Saturday the 17th of May I was heading out to the camp/cottage (whatever) and a moose ran out of the rhubarb smack into the passenger front quarter of the truck. OBLITERATED my passenger headlight, took the mirror out, dented the roof, dicked the door pins, blew the windshield and pass window out, buckled the hood, fender, bumper, grille, and even tore my lower valence off. Where the mirror mounts to the door was stoved in, and there's glass EVERYWHERE in the truck. Only reason there's even a window in the pic is my tint. It hit hard enough my windshield pillar trim panel popped off, my pass sun visor dropped, and my overhead console fell off, and my diablosport flew out and cranked me in the side of the head. A chunk of my mirror was on my lap, and the rest was down the road. The biggest part of my passenger headlight that survived was the LENS from the PROJECTOR.
Even my fender flare was fucked from the mud in the moose's fur. It was like someone took 60grit to the plastic.
It was CLOSE to getting written off. Estimate came up to 10k in damage, and they write the truck off after 80% of the value.
No fault because animal, $300 deductible. At least I won't have stone chips on the hood anymore...
