hopefully tht rocker can be fixed....

 

I'm thinking fixed or cut out and replaced not 100% sure I figured I'd hear from him around lunch time but nothing yet.

 

That is a lot of cutting, welding, smoothing, and painting...i'd just scuf it, paint it and leave it until i got pissed enough to cut the rocker out and replace it. My 0.02
Keep us posted Joe! GLWF (good luck with fix).
And yes Matt, steel sr5 wheels are 29lbs a piece....i Really don't like mine....but they serve their purpose.

 

That's what I was thinking they would do.

 

Its just expensive for body shops = expensive for The owner of the vehicle


I'll find the stock wheel info thread and post here: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/30754-wheel-specs.html

 

The rocker is pinch welded in at the bottom of the cab...i bet it is an expensive replacement part dude....

 

Welp I'm paying outta pocket gonna be $1700 or less that's with a new Toyota door said he would use the stud welder to pull the dents on the rocker back straight and then sand an smooth it. I take it to them the first of next week he's gonna order my door. My insurance company said that anything over $1200 will make my insurance raise so I'm not claiming it plus I have a $500 deductible.

 

Sounds good. Hope they can pull it and not have to fill then sand any of it. Its not too bad for a door, and paint to match, and labor, thqt ain't too bad.

 

He said they they should be able to pull the dent in the rocker out an use minimal filler

 

I can only imagine that made a horrible noise when it happened.. haha

I wouldn't think that $1700 is all that bad. My girlfriend payed $400 for a dent in the drivers door of her jeep about 6" in length from where someone backed into her in a parking lot. It wasn't a bad dent, but it was noticeable and they were able to pull it and repaint the area in 2 days. Based on what hers looked like and what yours looks like, not to mention the rocker and the fact that youre getting a new door, i'd say that $1700 is a pretty decent price.

Good luck! Hopefully it all turns out well and can be pulled.


Side note: I kinda like your running lights. are they just led rope lights/are they connected to your DTRL's or a separate switch?

 

It may be less then 1700 the guy is cutting me a break and actually it didn't really make a bad noise at all.

 

Thats not to bad, heres some photos of the aftermath of a deer hitting my last truck. Ended up costing somewhere between $3,000 & $4,000

nose impact

The lights are recon light bars I think there called big rig something or another and there tied into my parking lights.

 

Tacoma bed cleats $24.00 new, will sell pair for $25

 

I am selling my ProEFX Towing Mirrors. They are black, Power adjust with LED turn signals and heat. They manually extend up for towing, but power adjust in both positions. You will have to add a switch and probably a relay to be able to use the heat. I only had them on my truck for less than a year. $135 for the pair.
More pics available

Will sell the pair for $25.

 

I don't have any idea what those "truck plates" are for...

 

I might be interested in those... How easy is the install?

 

I see...meh...i'd rather just tie a five gallon jug in one of the corners of the bed...i'm sure someone will need them though.

 

well he said your going to have to get a relay, wiring, and switch to use the heat feature, for the turn signals youre gonna have to tie a wire into the turn signal wire. but other than tht i assume they are plug and play....
