    I just nudged my tailgate with a wheel barrow yesterday............keep telling myself that's what trucks are for.....I used some zaino on it and it helped but not good. Not as bad as the picture above though........that's pretty bad, I feel for you.

    White may be boring to most but this is the #1 reason I buy white trucks.. Clear coat scratches white... A white truck makes them easier to hide.. It is possible to use your truck as a truck and not beat the hell out of it.
    All scratches bother me!

    You got that right, it gave me a chance to do my blackout with new stuff. So in a way the dickhead did me a good thing.

    Got rid of the stock tail lights too...

    Well, I fixed it as best I could, had to straighten the corner out, I want a new bed on it anyways, but it's not like it was when it first got whacked. The tailgate is still not right but I worked on it until it opened and closed normally. About 6 weeks ago another dumbass rearended it AGAIN, and got another new bumper. Her car was totalled, mine got a $200 rear bumper, and NO other damage. Because of my lift, her Escort drove under the truck. I was moving at the time, so it didn't damage anything else, but I think there is a fuckin magnet in my tacoma for rear end collisions...

    Here is a pic of the corner, still dented, but not too bad. like I said, i want to replace the bed or get the body shop to fix it...
