What would you do?

As you know I wrecked my truck last week, and am 99.9% sure they will total it. I do intend to try and buy it back, but since I have never been through this before, I am wondering.
Obviously I will pull all my personal stuff, tools and spare parts out, that is a no brainer.
I have probably 2500 bucks or more in the off road hid lights, just put a new cb, but it is in the overhead, so will leave it anyway, but I am not sure if I should leave my vhf radio or not, then there is the inverter.
Even the lug nut covers I have on it were discontinued over 10 years ago and can't be replaced.
Is it normal to pull the extra stuff off before the insurance adjuster comes or what is normal on a case like this?
I just put new drives on a month or so back, I have the old ones, but would not feel right about swapping them back out, and like I said, if everything shakes out right I will buy it back anyway.

 

Thanks, I was not aware that, that was even an option. I just had it in my mind that when they looked at it, it was what they were buying, and expecting to get. I tend to think, I need to pull my off road lights off, to keep from them getting stolen anyway. They are no longer available in the US and are pretty much sought after. lol

 

We insure them for a dollar amount up here, and the insurance will just have to pay that amount, at which point it is theirs. They usually let the owner buy it back for what ever salvage bid it gets, or at least that is how it has worked in the past with people I know. I am 99.9% sure it will be a total, and I would love to get a clear title back, but I doubt that happens, in Alaska seems like it does not take much on four wheelers to wind up with salvage titled, not sure on trucks.

 

I just had the truck brought back to my shop, I will pull my tie down gear , tire chains, tools and extra parts I carry and all my personal junk off myself. The stuff that is bolted, I think I will leave and see what shakes out.
