Smashed RR corner of truck....

This morning pulling out of the new work parking lot I ran the RR corner into a bollard, pretty much my fault, but the parking lot is tight and the bollard was bed height. RR tail light is toast. fender is all rubbed. and tail gate has some damage. take it to the dealer? I've never done this to a car before... non less my new taco. Dam it!!!

 

That stinks!
Been there done that too
I took mine to the dealer and they fixed it up good as new
sorry to hear the news

 

Metal post in a parking lot. Tail gate has minimal damage. just a corner. I'll take pics later.... FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perfect timing. Anytime I get some extra cash something stupid happens. I guess I should just stop doing extra side work at night and busting my arse in life.

 

I personally have had horrible luck with body shops at the dealer. Check with your insurance company and see who they would recommend.

 

Well first I'm going to price it out... I have a high deductable for low rates b/c I'm 26yrs old and never have done something like this.

Really gettingg tired of not being able to get ahead in life.... the harder I work the more stupid shit happens.

 

Ain't that the truth. Seems to be the one constant in an ever changing world.

 

C'mon the bollard wasn't painted bright yellow? pssh.....


That blows man, sorry to hear it. Just remember, when it comes to body shops, you get what you pay for.

 

I'm running on aboout 4hrs sleep.... and sick. worked 3 jobs yesterday. 5am-1am day it was. Should of just sat my arse at home and slept not tried to work so hard. I should of gottenon NBC and asked for a hand out.

 

Go back to work. Millions on Welfare depend on You.

 

Bummer.

 

That sucks man but, hey look at it this way, now you can't feel to guilty about beating her up on some trails!

 

F'n dealer wants $281 for the tail light!! LMFAO.

Pretty ticked off with how flimsy this truck is. The bumper bent like a gummy worm, no structural steel inside of it. of the bumper was stiff, and strong... I'd be scuffing a bumper out. I miss my early 90's 4runner... running over all sorts of stuff, barely scuff the paint on the home grown bumpers. Oh well. I'm gonna clean the damage up the best I can and have 3 shops give me a estimate. 1 dealer, 2 indipendent. I want perfection, not price.

 

You could invest in an ARB bumper and get the protection you want...

 

theres not going to be any welfair wen its my turn

 

Sorry to hear that man! I feel yah though. I just noticed someone hit my front drivers side door either with their door or a shopping cart!!! It's not to bad and you can't tell unless you stare at it but I was friggin pissed!!!! Not sure how long its been there for but I know it happened recently. Only if I caught the mother fu-----!!!!

 

I've discovered 2 new door dings in the last few weeks also. WTF people!!!!

 

that's what I'm talking about... WTF people.

 

Yea i hate when people damage your stuff and don't even care. Sometimes I wish I had an older taco that was all beat up from off-roading and such. I've seen people hit my door while I'm sitting in the truck, the urge to just slam my door repeatedly and gouge the hell out of theirs is almost uncontrollable sometimes.

 

I'm telling your man!!! People are just so ignorant and stupid these days!! Just like John Travolta said in "Pulp Fiction," " It would have been worth seeing the guy do it just to catch him in the act and pound the sh-- out of him!!!"

 

we should start monitorin parkin lots from a remote location close to our tacomas & retaliate when they least expect it
