I hit a deer :(

I'd hate to see how much Toyota wants for one from the dealership. Been looking at Aries and Westin. Westin is high even on ebay and they seem to be constructed the same. I want one that is going to be functional and not just look good,....Not trying to derail the thread or anything, sorry

 

Awe man me too. I dont even want to know. Westin are really high because thats what everyone gets.... alot of times

 

I'm not sure if its a westin, toyota deffinetly sells them, I have not seen another truck or suv with the same skid design as i have on my bullbar, usually i just see westin bulbars. All i know is that the bullbar toyota is selling which is i think around 300 strong and tough and durable as anything!!

 

UPDATE!! My dad talked to the body shop people and they said that getting the toyota TRD smoked headlights for the Tacomas is considered an aftermarket product and I myself would have to buy it online and have them install it, they also said that those headlights leak and loose their seal?? I am sure that the lady there is mixed up about the headlights, tomorrow when its time to drop my truck off, I'm gonna ask her how or where do they replace headlights that were broken on a 09 TRD Taco, then if she says they supply them I will say "yeah well do think you can put them on my truck (nicely lol)" Also I am taking off my spot lights off the bullbar for now so my front end will look empty for a while till I get new lights, I'm leaning toward getting Hellas because they are not that expensive but I have heard good things and alot of people have them, but who knows, I could get PIAA's or KC's or go out and buy another cheap set of lights that rust so thats my update on my truck and also I'm not getting an ARB or all-pro bumper

 

So they stock headlights on my truck are supposed to loose their seal and leak

Yea, I think she was confused

 

Really, I would have thought that Toyota would test them and shit, I still want them weather or not they leak, cause if they leak I may just put them in the oven until the adhesive gets loose and reseal them with some strong shit, almost like the bhlm

 

My truck had a inch of snow on it the day I picked it up and it has rained more since I got it than it has in the past year. I have not had any issues? I've only put 700 miles on it but I've had it just over a month. You know how much it's been raining here lately.

 

Yeah Its weird how this rain popped up outta no where. Have you noticed any moisture or fog or condensation in you lights?

 

I just walked ouside to make sure. No moisture, fog, or condensation. I would think a day like this would do it if it was going too.

 

Wait. Colin the girl at the desk said that the OEM headlights would fog up?!

 

I know yall are sick of seeing this thread buuuuuuuut I have an UPDATE: My truck is done and is all fixed up, they resprayed the bumper and soo far they say it looks great, lights are replaced, no 09 TRD smoked lights. Im outta town and will be able to pick my truck up on monday morning and then rush to school lol

 

good to hear...
Hopefully everything looks like it was done right

 

Hopefully, I hope the bumper looks like new, and the wheel well is fixed, if not the truck will go back into the shop

 

Hope everything turns out good for ya man. That'd suck to have to take it back and have to wait longer.

 

Thanks man!

 

Great news on getting your ride back.

 

Glad to see your okay.

I've hit things with my bull bar.. the last thing was an embankment - the way they are bolted onto the brackets allow them to be pulled back out - go ahead and giver 'er a yank!

I can't remember the last person that saw me pull mine out... I think it was luni...

It looked very similar to that too - I never went to the body shop, everthing bounced back into shape....

 

WHOOOOHOOOOOOO MY TRUCK IS FIXED!! I AM SOOO HAPPY TO HAVE HER BACK!!!! THE BODY SHOP DID A GREAT JOB ON THE TRUCK!!!!

 

Wow You really cant even tell it happened.. Is the bull bar bent on the 3rd pic?

 

The only bent part on the bullbar is the holes where the light mounts go into. the impact of the deer shoved the lights into the bumper, so the light mounts bent and pulled up the edge of the holes, nothing to major, i'm gonna pound it down later
