Or just all one color without an accent.

 

I can't decide if I want to color match the camper shell or keep it the mgm grey. eventually I would love to do an ARB front bumper, SOS sliders(priority), SOS rear dual swing out bumper, and camper/cab racks(camper rack is a priority for my kayak....looking at the DIY Prinsu thread). I can't picture how black would look with the blue/grey. I drove my TJ for 9yrs and it stayed stock , so this is all new to me.

 

Color matched shell always looks better I think.

 

Black would look good on the blue but I still wouldn't pinstripe, maybe something down low. Pinstripes are a little dated.

 

Our “minimum” is 5 we’ve run with 4 before. Some nights we have 10. It’s really all over the place. We all like, respect, and joke around with each other that it makes the night easier.

 

I just can't picture the blue shell with black bumpers, sliders, etc. I have no intentions of changing my wheels.

One of my coworkers husband owns a shop and told me he'd paint it for the cost of paint, so I have that going for me.

 

No pin stripe or anything. I'm not much on stickers. I'm happy with the blue by it's self. The stripes just happen to be on there when I bought it. It never really bothered me until after I bought the camper shell.

 

I think it would look slick. Almost like a 4Runner loaded out.

 

That it does. I'm lucky in the fact I don't dislike any of my coworkers......don't know if I can say them same about their feelings toward me though

 

I'm gonna try and buy a few things once I get my TJ out of the shop and sell it. I've been dealing with the guy's shitty insurance company for 2 1/2 months. I had to hand the case over to my best friend. He threatened them with a lawsuit. It's now going to the Jeep dealership for repair I figured the assholes would have realized I wasn't trying to take advantage of the situation. The guy rear ended me while I was at a red light(even have a witness statement to the cop), I never went to the ER to run up a bill, and even had it towed to my house to save storage fees. All I was asking for was the estimate my shop gave and for them to pay for the initial rental and 3 day storage fees/tow. I had it towed to my house with my AAA the second tow, so that didn't cost anything. They have dicked me around over 4K...........hell, I have saved them over 2K from having it at my house

 

That's not worth a shit but honestly your insurance should take care of you and fight his company on your behalf. I went through something like this a couple of years ago. Don't forget to charge them deprecation as well.

 

I was kind of wondering the same. I figure I pay those bastards huge dollars every year for them to deal with something like this.

 

My insurance told me they would take care of it if I wanted them to get involved, but I assumed it'd be a shut and closed case. I didn't think I was asking for anything more than what I was due. I'm lucky in the fact my best friend is a lawyer, so one call to him was all it took. I didn't need the TJ, and I have been working a lot of OT, so I wasn't in the biggest hurry to settle.

They also told me that b/c the vehicle was 10yrs old it was considered "wholesale" and no depreciation will be paid.

It'll all work out in the end.

 

Live and learn. This is the first time I've ever had to deal with someone else's insurance. The only other time I had a claim, I ran into a pole....one car accident .

 

That's what insurance is for. I drove a rental for a month and a half and my insurance covered it all then got paid by the other party involved. My premium never went up.

 

Glad it all worked out in your favor though.

 

I guess it would have been a different story had I not bought the Tacoma right after the wreck. I had looked for one 9 months earlier and couldn't find what I wanted(4x4, v6, 4 door, long bed, auto, not red or gold). The good Lord just kind of laid this one in my lap. I even got it below trade in, so I was extremely happy.

 

I'll sell mine below trade value right now.

 

I would be homicidal if I had to deal with insurance companies everyday I was definitely naïve to how the whole "game" works

 

It was a pain but it paid almost $4k
