wreck yesterday:( need a new bed and some advice

i was comin home from work yesterday and i swerved from a dog and ended up with my back end in a ditch and hittin a tree and now i need a new bed i found one
off a 95 at a junkyard for 300 which im pretty sure will work but i know a guy that has one off of a 2wd tacoma for 100 does anybody know if this will work??and be the same thanx

 

Not sure if it'll work, but... Learn a lesson from this; if a dog/animal comes out in front of you, just hit it. If not, you'll be in the ditch like in your situation and the animal will run off into the sunset... *Getting off my soap box*

 

I would crash my truck before killing some family dog... now a cat, eh.

 

maybe if the dog would pay for the repairs i would attempt to swerve out of the way but other than that... not worth it. Good luck getting fixed up

 

amen!

 

I annihilated a rabbit the other night... ran past then decided he forgot something on the other side of the road and BAM! I felt kinda bad, but it was a stupid rabbit. I guess I'm helping with natural selection.

 

I've probably hit about 10 rabbits in the 3 years i've been driving lol. I just hit whatever is in front of me, not worth crashing into a wall or something.

to the OP, is the bed off a 5 lug? I think even the 5 lug beds are the same as yours but Im not sure.

 

I know me too this was just fresh in my mind. They're not worth avoiding... theyre either eating the pavement or my lawn...

 

i know it was the worst feelin in the world next time ill hit the dog. i love my truck and now its all beat up ill post pics tonight and if anybody knows if the beds are the same let me know please

 

yeah its off a 5 lug im hopin the body is the same just the tires and suspension is wayy smaller

 

Can you find or do you know the the owners of the dog? Hit them up for the repairs.

 

All 6ft beds should be the same: reg/xtra cabs, 2wd/4wd. None look different.

 

Thanks for the reminder. Next time I see an animal on the road, I'll try to remember not to swerve to avoid it.

 

thanx man that makes me feel a little bit better but the worst part of this is im 16 and this just makes it look like im some teenager that cant drive. That and i have to wait on my dad to get the bed for me and hes gonna take his time im sure and school starts back in two weeks so im gonna have to hitch a ride with friends. and one more thing. ill have to get the bed painted do yall think theyll have to repaint the whole truck? i know thats gonna be expensivee

 

Shouldnt, the paint shope or wherever you take it should be able to color match it! so hopefully not and good luck finding one!

 

Should be the same .... BUT , get a tape measure & take down some notes...

 

x2. let us know how it turns out

 

will do. i hope i get it done soon, its all about waitin on my dad tho

 

Couldn't have been very old. Looked very small. Did the indecisive move of going half way across then deciding to go back then changing his/her mind again. Wrong move, to late. Thump! Poor little critter.

I feel bad for that but it wasn't intentional and no Tacoma's were harmed. It is a hard lesson but a valuable one. You saved the life of a little critter at the cost of damage to your truck. OK. Move on, lesson learned.

 

F a rabbit i hunt them all the time and from now on im gonna let any kinda dog or any animal that runs in front of me is tastin my brushguard. i had to get a sledge hammer today and beat my truck half way straight i felt so bad for her every time i hit er.
