Ouch! Wife tore the corner of the rear bumper off

While backing up the truck she rubbed the left corner of the bumper against and past a 4x4 post. She then pulled forward, the corner of the bumper caught the edge of the post and this happened. Guess I'll be figuring out how to get the bumper apart to replace broken parts.

 

damn... back up camera??

 

Looks like it's time to put on an aftermarket bumper. http://sosoffroadconcepts.com/2016-tacoma-rear-bumpers/

 

I agree then next time she'll rip out the post

 

Looks like she tore it off for sure, time for an upgrade?

Order the parts from member gunny1005 (he works for camelback toyota) when you gather all the part numbers you think you'll need.

I think that was the problem, she was backing up with just the back up camera and not looking at the mirrors

 

Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth...piece of ass for a piece of ass?

 

ah sucks man, technology is making us all worse drivers.

 

This is why they made the 3rd gen bumpers a 3-piece setup!

 

Good looking bumper.
She would have pulled the post out with that bumper

 

Lucky for me

 

this.

 

Is that a spider web? Maybe she did it because she was trying to kill the spider!

She was trying to save your life man!!!

 

Looks like it, time to burn the truck down

 

Sorry to see this, OP. Best of luck finding a new wife.

 

Lucky you. Now you get to upgrade the bumper and not listen to nagging.
Nice job. I wish my wife would do this. Haha

 

Maybe a new bumper and a new wife

 

looks like the corner panel is dented down low too, get a high clearance!
