screeeeeeeech...boom pt 2

My truck was hit in August and I just got my deductible back mid-December. This evening I was hit by a Nissian Armada that didn't look before making a left at an intersection and clipped me. Driver's side rear. Same spot as the first time. Luckily, there were no injuries.

-Dents and scratches on the cab behind the rear door
-Dents and scratches on the bed side
-Punctured tire
-Damaged wheel
-Crooked axle
-Dented rear bumper

Not having the best luck. Both accidents were not my fault. The first one was 100% comestic. I am pretty confident there is some drivetrain damage this time.

Starting to get the feeling I wasn't meant to own a Tacoma.

 

There are some really awful drivers out there. Watch out for them. Drive as defensively as possible.

 

Time for a 2012

 

Put it this way. They happen in 3s. Hurry and go crash it again and you should be good.

Seriously though....You ARE very lucky you were in a Tacoma. Your truck saved you. Twice. Now go hug your truck and shame on you for even thinking bad thoughts! *shakes finger at you*

This^^^^ Two accidents that were not your fault is the world telling you to get a new one.

 

I agree. Probably not the most cost effective idea however.

The worst part is NJ doesn't recognize accident depreciation which is ridiculous. They can't tell me that a dealer won't see two accidents and give me the same value as a truck with no accidents. I should find out in the next 24-48 hours what the extent of the damage is. I just recently put KMC Enduros and Duratracs on my truck. The Duratrac is finished but I did have insurance on them. It was too dark to tell if the wheel had any damage.

I'm most worried about how crooked my rear axle looked. I'm pretty bummed. I was getting ready to schedule my lift kit install soon too. I'm sure I won't have my truck for a good 2-3 weeks.

I am glad that no one was hurt for sure but it's just frustrating that there was nothing I can do.
