Accident this morning.....No injuries unless you count my truck

Well hopefully it can be fixed, its not dead.

 

What kind of bumper is that!?

 

Ouch man, sorry to see that

how fast were you going when you hit?

My first accident went a lot like yours, except I was 16 (3 years ago).
I wasn't paying attention and rear ended a small car, the dummy I am didnt take pictures, so i can post any, but I hit the guy going under 20, nothing happened to my truck, insurance totaled the jetta.....

the winch guard is why i didn't have damage

 

the sticker on the bumper says ARB

 

OP, sorry to hear about that. Glad everyone was ok!

I'm also glad to hear you're manning up to your mistake instead of trying to blame it on something or someone else. Better to get the shitty feelings over with and move on.

Good luck!

 

I was thinking the same thing...I think 3 people asked what bumper that was in this thread...lol

 

wow that ford got the better of you on that one


i had this same problem about a month ago, looked down and then back up and i was in the back of a buick, smashed the buick, everyone was fine but my truck took it like a champ, just need a new bumper, still waiting on the part im getting mad because u think it would be in by now, that was a whole month ago and i still never got a call from the body shop WTF!!!!! i been driving around with a smashed bumper and it aggravates me

 

Yup, just got it recently. New wheels and tires last weekend, I have 5100s on the way, was looking forward to getting my truck just the way I wanted it (for the time being at least), then this happens. Well at least I should get a whole new front end out of this.

Might have the body shop trim my front fenders for me when it all gets put back together, I am sure than can do a better job than I can with a Dremel.

 

Ouch...you must have hit the Ford pretty hard if that's the gas door that looks opened...

 

Man that sucks. Hopefully you or the other vehicle owner has good insurance

 

So far so good with the insurance company, been a breeze so far.

 

Holy shit, the price for that bumper is no joke. But it seems worth it.

 

Accidents suck but the important thing is everyone's OK and as long as it's just stuff; stuff can be fixed.

 

Do like I did, have the Ins. Co. pay U for the repairs then pay shop minus the bumper. My est. for a bumper was $1300, so thats plenty enuff for aftermarket, which I have a Relentless on order

 

Thought about doing something like this, however I like the look of the color match bumper, really have no need for an upgraded aftermarket bumper (I don't plan on getting in any more accidents), and the shop and insurance company are dealing directly with each other.

The only additional mods I have planned for the front are possibly a new grill and the BHLM. However this little accident, with my deductible, is going to dig into my mod money for a while.

Still haven't heard from the shop yet though, I will see what they have to say when hey get back to me, supposed to hear from them tomorrow.

 

Damn that really sucks man, glad you are okay, surprised air bags did not go off, judging by the damage i think they would. Do you know how fast you were going?

 

Haha thats what i was thinking

 

OP, it takes a big man to admit you f'd up. Hope your truck gets better.
