Got hit last Wednesday while driving the Raptor. Stopped for a red light and the person behind me didn't. Hit me doing about 40. Never heard brakes. Got knocked into a 1 ton dually. She's technically "driveable" but I'm not as I have a beater to put miles on.

Would you take it out before it goes into the shop for repairs to check mechanical stuff ? ie put into 4 hi, 4 low, engage rear locker, etc . I have no warning lights on but when I get it back I don't want to need something and find out then something's an issue.

I would as long as insurance has no issue. I would not trust a shop to find all the issues

Yeah, that was my concern. I don't want to depend on shop to look for issues.
On the other hand I don't want to screw anything up either.
I don't think (or Body shop guy) doesn't think there's any frame damage.

I guess I'll get her out and run through every switch. If something's broke it was the accident .
