MARYLAND TACOMAS

Insurance adjuster is here looking at my wife's 4runner damage from being rear ended. I'm hoping they don't total it. Adjuster said the low mileage & clean condition of the vehicle will help with the book value. She drove my black 4 runner to work today, I told her not to let anyone hit it lol.

 

DOH!

 

Not totaled, $2450 in damage repairs.

 

That's crazy!!!! How could a buckled cargo floor not warrant being totaled? I would think the frame would be need to bend to cause that.

i guess the parts to fix it are just not expensive.

 

No frame damage at all.

 

Well, that's good. Can you fix it all yourself and take the money and run?

 

Wife wants me to take it to a body shop.

 

There no frame damage because rear bumper is attached to the body not the frame so the floor absorbed the impact

 

Let a shop do it and be picky as hell on everything ,factory parts only.Aftermarket bumpers only last about 4 yrs before they start rusting through I know this from my Tacoma they put a aftermarket back bumper after I was rear ended and it was approximately 4 yrs later it rusted thru

 

Well, at least the other guy is paying! Sounds like a great plan.

 

Ahh, well cool then.

 

I told the adjuster that this morning about those aftermarket chrome bumpers rusting. He told me Keystone has a lifetime warranty on the chrome against rusting. He said if it starts rusting contact Erie and they will have it replaced, of course i'm gonna get that in writing.

 

I’ll give you $650

 

No way! I'm getting ready to mount'em.

 

I’ll be here when the don’t clear your brakes

 

SCS wheels clear the tundra calipers.

 

White Outline Letter Out FTW!

 

I couldn't wait until I clocked out so I mounted 2 of'em.

 

They are gonna look so nice on your truck!!!!!

Don't they remind you of the old school Centerlines?

 

The Durtracs look good on those.
