i had a guy try and cut in

That's funny. The 12k and 10k wasn't much more. So I just went for it.

 

That's one ugly bumper!

 

That's what I thought.

 

I say this to people all the time.....people see a truck with a plate bumper and go "okay i will go AFTER this guy..." My girlfriend deny's this being a thing but it totally is and im glad to know im not alone in thinking this

Edit : Your bumper is dope and i wish they made them that bulky for the 2nd gens :/

 

If you want a bulky ass bumper.

Body Armor TC-19335 Black Large Front Bumper for Toyota Tacoma

Actually i had that on my list! But i removed it and snagged up an ebay bumper because it had a bajillion holes in it for lights. It also had a little bullbar on top which had me sold over the body armor one. But i did like how simply big and bulky that one was.

 

I like lights.

 

Friends usually recognize me around town because of my yellow pods and the fact that they need sunglasses to drive by me at night......my fogs are offroad lights

 

Ah, so you're that asshole.

 

Are they Baja designs fogs?

 

Oh no im not THAT mean. These are the brightest round lights i could find big enough to fit in the bumper cut outs. They are 27watt Shanren spot offroad lights from Amazon. They are pretty bright for 12 dollar lights.

 

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh

But hey it could be worse, I could be the guy driving around with my bigass lightbars on *cough cough*WRANGLER GUYS

 

Yep

 

I had to go get a police report and the guy had Geico insurance. he had never reported this wreck.

 

That's a felony, I would think, considering that there was more than $500 of damage involved.

I don't know what's wrong with people. I was rear-ended IN MY OWN DRIVEWAY by some Nigerian dude who was racing along on the street that I live on and he sued me for it, claiming compensation for damages to his knee (a previous injury), his wife's cancer, and his daughter's arm surgery (unrelated) . My insurance called it fraud and took it to court.

 

Did he also try to sue over the death of his favorite pet? Brain tumors? Cuban middle crisis? The triumph of Satan over the forces of good? People like that need to be shot. I believe the term is rate sucker.

 

Amen, brother!

 

I took it to the Toyota dealer today and its only about 900.00 to fix it. just waiting on his insurance. he still has not called them to tell them about the wreck

 

When someone backed into my rear bumper it ended up being $1600 to fix. New bumper, paint match, and replacement bolts that broke. If you were thinking about getting some armor in the front, you might as well do it now when insurance will pay for it.

Edit: I'd make sure the paint is going to match with a replacement bumper from the factory. If your Toyota dealer is anything like mine they're going to half-ass it as much as possible.

 

Of course he wouldn't call his Insurance Company why would he, like mentioned earlier at the beginning of the thread he probably did it on purpose looking to fix his car completely from the previous damage. He knows his insurance rates are going to go Sky High so it's no surprise he hasn't contacted them because only innocent and honest people with insurance report accidents whether it's their fault or not. Just saying. Glad it wasn't so expensive. Be safe out there OP when driving , there are some seriously crazy unique and creative sociopaths out there on the roads .
