2013 tacoma accident repair

just for what its worth to anyone and everyone, and so if you are ever in the same situation, how much do YOU think this repair will/did cost? i will post the correct answer soon just curious what the public opinion is!?

 

Looks fine to me.

 

umm, i dont see anything?

 

Your funny. Sorry I forgot the picture. Damn my newbie lol I am now working on fixing that!

 

i added the picture, the radiator core support is bent approx 1/4 inch so the hood/fender line on passenger side is outa whack, and the "auxilary crossmember" where the tow hook is bent, also there is a smashed 30" rigid e series light bar in the front bumper.. enjoy

 

whats the point in buying a 32k truck if i cant enjoy it!? and yes, but it was my first at fault accident in 13 years so i dont feel too bad. thats why we have insurance!

 

it still worked but the mounts both sheared off and the lens was broken in 5 or 6 places, i hit a ford fuckus and the light bar faired much better than the ford! I was suprised how well it did and insurance covered the replacement (thank god since they are $999) i wanted to keep it and put it on my play truck but the body shop jacked it and "scrapped" it.

 

Geez, that looks more like a 2005 than a 2013! Like Beavis said....you're pretty hard on your vehicles, eh?

 

yes sir, it has to earn its 32k price tag. But the plasticoat saves the paint in the woods (my 2008 taught me a lesson there)

the tires are basicaly bald in this pic they are off my 2008 and have 55k on them, i just picked up my new tires today and i sold the stockers for $1000 when i got the truck to buy the new FJ wheels that are on it.

 

the "sport" rims are off of the 4runner while i waited for the FJ wheels to come in when i sold the stocker "offroad" set and had the well used BFG AT KO mounted untill i could afford the new tires i got today, and the pic is with 2250 lbs of landscaping supplies in the bed (was to show the new red stickers) the stock red/grey stickers from the superwhite are preserved under the rubberish coating

 

sure is! i put the coating on with 700 miles on the odo, its coming off now that its done at the body shop and im going a different route, it didnt hold up very well after 5k miles on the cab its scraped off in some places.

 

at least he uses his truck???
id say 7k

 

Thats exactly why I have a truck

 

If the core support is busted i would say 5200

PS ... This should be in the "WTF Thread" . . . the most important thing is enjoying your truck the way you want . . . . .

It's going to cost a lot. If you Plasti dip it all no one will notice.

 

You're interrupting the circle jerk.

 

I hit a deer a few years back and after repairs were done I heard a whistling while driving, after numerous trips back to body shop to find the source they replaced the after market grill with a factory grill BINGO, problem solved.
After market parts suck !

 

You mean that isn't totalled?

 

You are right it would last longer if I was nicer to it.. but I drove 6 hours to get it with a lifetime powertrain warranty (along with the 125k bumper to bumper toyota platinum) and I can fix anything they dont cover. I went with spacers instead of coils so that when the front diff goes the spacers qualify as leveing kit which is covered under warranty. And the stock springs a pathetic for towing or hauling both of which I do weekly at the least and it would look pretty funny with the ass end sky high and the front stock. Im paying off some bills then buying a plasma cutter and a better welder. Then im going to build myself a set of plate bumpers (I get plate steel cut to my dimensions for $.50/lb) and will probably change the UCA and go with an OME lift. I didnt plan on that when I sold the other truck with plate bumper i already made still on it, but I have no winch spot on the front to rescue my play truck at the moment. Thats where the tacoma sees the rougher spots is dragging my broken play truck out of the trails.
