    I mean the pics are blurry and at night. These frames are relatively soft and designed to deform during an accident …

    The c class?! that rammed you looked like it was going at least 40mph… they tore out your entire axle and bent your leaf springs and pulled out your driveshaft … I would be shocked if the mounting points weren’t deformed at the very least, possible diff damage too …

    You also have a massive metal bumper which I think maybe hiding major damage behind it… usually the frame deforms behind the rear wheel and before the rear bumper. Check there first

    Check the axle housing, had a similar accident and my housing was bent over 4* between the center and the spring perch.

    I’ll take pictures tomorrow under the truck. Maybe you guys can spot things my mechanic can’t.

    The bumper is touching the fender a little now.

    Interesting that you can keep your Texas plates overseas.

    Technically you can’t but the police here don’t enforce anything really. They look cool here.

    I thought you were in Lebanon, TX., based on your plates. I see why it's going to be a huge issue with having a domestic Tacoma in a foreign country. Unfortunately, this is going to be a task to source out your much needed parts. I wish you the absolute best and hope there is NO frame damage.

    This is what I thought when I saw the pictures. To bend that leaf spring like that the axle tube and perch are probably damaged.
    Are you driving a truck registered in the state of Texas in the middle east?

    It's wild to see the leaf spring bent up. Is that factory leaf packs with progressive AAL? I'm so glad your not injured.
