Still trying to shake off 120 miles of freezing fog from last nights endeavor. Looking at it now trying to figure out what next. Gotta get it movable. Thankful the 1/2 of ice that was caked on everything from the fog has melted.
Well it’s finally official now to me. I’m a Talon owner. Should’ve considered something else but I’ll have to make do.

Just from the picture looks like the first cut that I would make would be below the roof ROP or just unbolt it and see if any thing tries to move back, doesn't look that bad to me. But what do I know?

Didn’t have @popeye fancy work box crane so it had to move itself. She runs good and drives somewhat. Shifts good. Nothing more to do without a lot of parts. Left front shock stays collapsed so something funny there. Doubt it’s the electronic part so hopefully a rebuild. Know nothing about them. Obviously left rear is still f***ed. One thing at a time.

The left front will defiantly need a tug after you get the bent stuff outta the way, it still wouldn't discourage me.

Looks pretty much as told and figured. Bummed most all plastic needs replaced after looking closer but that’s all just appearance items and can be purchased later. Mechanically she looks really good. Better then most stuff after a month in woods with us. Don’t see any surprises yet. Busy making her a home today. Will get after some s*** tomorrow.
Screw plastics, make your own body work and custom cage, time for a truly unique talon.
