Think this is the longest one of these posts has gone without ask for parts haha - truly sorry, glad everyone’s ok but I’d be heartbroken. On to the next!

Meh, it's just a flesh wound.

Roof is kinked and the rear quarter is pushed up and in about an inch. Rear axle also pushed over about about an inch and toed out on the passenger side. Branded as salvage.

I am sorry for your loss. Not even joking.

I would honestly try to press the roof back up and see what that did the the position of the rear structure. Yeah the axle is toast as it is toed out. The shift part might have been the centering pin for the leaf snapping and letting it move over. Unless it tweaked the entire rear unibody. Which would be impossibly expensive to fix, but not hard to work around if it was to be a trail rig.
Sucks to lose it as it looks like a mid to late 90's and those were the best years.

I’m sorry for your loss man. If you’re gonna be parting out let us know! She can live on by donating to other rigs in need!
I’m glad everyone is safe and again sorry for your loss. Mine has been in the family for 15 years as well and I couldn’t imagine losing it.

You can't post something like this without telling how it happened - details please.
Also, I can't believe the glass didn't break with all that twist.
P.S. I hope all the passengers are ok.
Relative was driving it at the time and made a left turn at a set of lights but it wasn't clear. Dude in a Yaris hit the rear at about 20mph. Everyone was fine. She was in the family for about 15 years.
Relatively rust free body for being from Ontario. Rockers and floor were solid, but the roof was rusting pretty good.
Time to start shopping for a new one!
You poor poor soul. You'll never find one as rust free around here.
It is proving to be rather tough. Hopefully something shows up
