Default my brother smacked his front end

This could be a long story, but I will keep it short. My bro was trying to got a bit to fast down an winter logging road. Didnt see a stump or couldnt get out of its way and smacked it. Taco'd the rt front rim, and bent the brake caliper and disc. Along with its mount to the MacPherson strut, and something in the front diff, we dont know yet.

So since he's at this stage, he may go ahead with a bunch o new stuff for this beast. I'm hoping you folks can help. Heres a list:
1- Can this be widened what's available for suspension. It rolls alot in turns. Lower arm and shock may also be bent.
2- The engine is stock, big bore, pipes, cams, ignition, clutch kits.
3- Like I said the fron diff may be toast, although it seemed good is ther something better?
4- Rims & Tyres
5- Anything I may be missing.

Thanks

Almost forgot it a prarie 650

A new stock rim is about $75. A new A-Arm is about $45. I would just replace what is broken or bent, and maybe get some new tires (if he is running the stockers).

He tore it apart last night. When the caliper bent, he tried to move it and it twisted the axle right off!
So the diff is good but the axle is toast.
What a monster!
