How the hell did the mirror survive? At first I thought you had the door off, but then noticed all the damage to the door at the roof.

There is a hole below the tree it fell in and didn't hit anything. I didn't even smash the extra cab window out in the flop, that happened later in the day. Minimal body damage actually, everything on the side is pre existing, the roof and the door frame is where the damage is.

Pop the last window out and cut the roof off. Cage it and put a new roof on. easier than whatever hack **** repair you'd do with a hammer. Windshield is already broken anyway.

That sounds like a "sas is easy, just cut the ifs off and weld in a solid axle" plan. Plan on porta powering the roof up, hopefully that fixes the door not fitting, then push up around the windshield to get that close. Main objective is to get the door to shut properly, and a windshield back in it, don't care what anything else looks like. Truck will probably get an exo cage, cab is too tight for an internal and this truck doesn't get trailered so I don't want to end up in the ICU in a minor on road crash.

If you're doing a lot of pushing you're gonna need a lot of cut to fit scrap wood to spread load and whatnot if you want it to be nice. A $100 body pulling hook and clamp set will go a long way toward making it easy to get nice results. You're gonna wind up wanting to push and pull on multiple things at the same time.

Get a bunch of 14ga, plate the bent parts and call it good.
 
Looks like the bottom of the A/B/C pillars are still roughly where they need to be. Might be easiest to cut a replacement roof off another cab.
 
Easiest option seems like porta powering it until **** kind of fits again. I don’t see fitting a new lid onto that being an easy task.

I'm saying this from a "been there, done that" of the hack **** porta power repair on pretty much the same roll into a rock. The seams were rolled under and seal surfaces were always out of alignment. Never could get glass back in it right and the doors always leaked. I have a Speedglass windshield out of a Hooters Pro Cup car and half doors now. If it rains on the trail I have magnets and clear shower curtains to keep the heavy stuff off. Hindsight, I'd have cut the roof off and glued another one on.

Post pics of this abortion.

Also still not cutting the roof off and just welding a new one on.

Setup looks good there. Which cap did it try to push off? The one on the back side of the ring gear? Or the one furthest away from the ring gear?

The cap on the back side of ring gear.
I think the problem started when the bearing retainer came off the pilot bearing.

Cab swap not an option?
My big tire taco sustained a soft flop and looked worse than it was.
It came to me with 1/2 doors on it, when I remounted the oem doors,
I was able to massage the a piller/door to not whistle .Wasn't able to seal out all the rain tho.
Finding a standard ( not extra) 2nd gen cab was a bitch out here...
Good luck with it man.
