Wrecked my 03 4R now to build it?

Observer
I have a '03 4 Runner sport 4.7 V8 AWD. I have only had it 2 years, found it with 37,500 but with commuting it has something like 112K on it now. Unfortunately yesterday I got in an accident, both air bags deployed, the radiator and front nose took the hit but the frame is unscathed. I will have to see what the insurance company will want for me to buy it back but I am thinking of either a off road rig, use it for a swap or build it better as a more expo rig and less of a grocery getter.

Have the frame checked. I was in a much less series front collision, only bent one of my ARB's crush cans. Afterwards I kept cupping front tires, even rotating at 2500 miles. When Toyota replaced my frame the cupping went away.. clearly it damaged it. Otherwise I say make it into an EXPO rig, bumper, fenders, hood and go to town!

Try and get an insurance payout and buy it back salvage title
If the frame is straight I'd say
