ooops...I bumped my bumper...

Ouch.

What's this gonna cost me? I guess I need to buy a bumper and have it painted? Or are these available pre-painted?

I wouldn't worry about it, adds character.

 

isnt there supposed to be a 4x4 badge to the left of your V6 badge, or did you remove it?
theres one on my truck and im wondering if the dealer put it on or toyota did...



oh, a new bumber is like $250, plus paint, not bad.

thanks for the info.

and no 4x4 badge on this truck from factory...same w/ my 2010 Tacoma. I've seen them on Tundra's but not Tacoma's.

 

that sucks, honestly if I "bumped my bumper" i would be stoked because thats an opportunity to get a new off road bumper like an all pro, relentless fab, etc style bumper.

hope u figure it out.

 

isnt this weird? i want to remove it, if they put it on after the fact for some strange reason...

 

looks like a Pep Boys part. Did you buy the truck new?

 

technically it was "used", it was 3 months old, had an owner and 1,100 miles... everything else was bone stock...

if its supposed to be there i want to at least order another one and locate it down in line with the other badges. but i could not find the badge in the parts directory for the tacoma, that was a hint... the tundra has one...

sorry for the thread drift

 

previous owner must have stuck it on there...can't imagine a dealer putting the effort.

 

it's twisted...right side is almost against the body...left side is further away from body than before I smashed it.

 

its also creased i dont think you can bang out creases in steel with a hammer too good... bondo and paint? time for a plate bumper larry

 

yep

I hope it's just the bumper...I may need support parts as well. I assume the black plastic parts are reuseable.

Curious what the repair/replace will cost me? I guess I'll get a quote or 2.

 

What did you hit?

That does not look right....

 

backed into a 2" pine sapling on my lot where I'm building. the driveway is curved...it was raining...100& my fault.

 

i know right?! i have to go out there right now and rip it off!

it was on the same line horizontally as the "toyota" badge, i took off the toyota badge and the 4x4 sitting up there started bugging me... then i went looking for it on other taco's and havent seen one yet, i was like WTF

i keep derailing your thread sorry larry :-D

 

no problem

I took off my TuRD stickers today...looking at the tailgate...I think I'll remove the "V6" and the "Toyota" emblems...and leave the "Tacoma"

 

Thats sucks! You weren't looking at big tits were you?

I've seen those at auto parts stores

 

thats what i did, took off toyota and left the rest, much better...

omg i cant believe ive been driving around with this thing on my tailgate!

At least you can take it off. It looks like something an old man would put on his truck. Haha
