    Yeah, this. Make sure it’s cleaned really well and use some touchup paint if you’re going to roll with it. My truck is all scratched up from what I do with it, so I’m on team “roll with it.”

    So then getting this fixed through insurance is a no-brainer

    Recently, I had a small rub on my 4Runner's front bumper. A large shop quoted to remove bumper and repaint entire thing for $2000! I went to a smaller shop, literally mom and pop owned, who painted just the corner of the bumper that needed it for $380. Looks perfect!

    What a bunch of vaginas. It's a truck and trucks get battle scars just like my body has and it has a bunch. Unless you're a Mall Crawler and prissy about your hair and every pimple in your face or dimple in your truck panels then don't go any where near the woods or dirt or rocks. Better yet sell it and get a Prissyus or is that Prius?

    As long as I got to put the FIRST ding or scratch on it instead of some dingbat in a parking lot somewhere I'm ok with battle scars (me and the truck) and they will get more. THATS why a got another Tacoma cuz they're made for it. And yes, I did give it it's first scars too. My old 2005 did get it's first long deep scratch from someone else in a parking lot and IT really pissed me off.

    Girls like real men with scars etc. and never had one complain about the trucks scratches etc. Sometimes I think they liked my rough trucks more than me. LOL

    Power Serge! Was just thinking of you. Look, your two favorite trucks in the world but with the right color! Don’t use all your tissues over it tonight, dude. You’re welcome.

    Anyhoo, years ago some jerk hit me here drove off. Probably at the mall. But it cost $10 for the touchup pen and five minutes every year or two for the reapply. It’s a $30k truck. No need to make it a $31,000 truck over it.

    Absolutely PDR it! About two weeks ago, some knucklehead chucked a bottle from his car (drinking and driving) and left a nice sharp dent on my hood. Bugged the shit out of me. Surprisingly, 0040 paint held up very well. Man, I thought I was the only one having bad luck with that shit; I PDR’ed mine 881DEFEA-EF5B-46BD-9838-23040262CD3E.jpgC63CB624-1BA7-4532-835F-90C2F64E4B6F.jpg

    Not everyone has a $1000 deductible.

    I'm a fan of PDR.

    I had a run in with a crackhead in San Francisco. They were able to get the dent out 95%; can't see unless you're looking for it.

    if he didnt have a high deductible then why would be on the fence about having insurance involved?
