Wrecked my tacoma

damage to the entire drivers side;
-headlight
-front bumper
-front fender
-bed side
-tail light
-rear bumper
-tailgate

 

and the accident knocked my tool box off and out of the bed

 

Ouch! That hurts just looking at it. Sorry for you OP.

 

Yeah you did. An '06 5-lugger? You might be close to a totaled truck, especially if you tweaked the frame at all.

 

Drat! Hope you're OK.

 

Damn. How'd it happen?

 

I was driving on the freeway so slow that a semi came up behind and wanted to pass so I slowed down more and pulled over a bit to give him some more room to pass and sure enough I hit an icy spot and slid one way bounced off the median spun around and landed in the guardrail. Was about 5 feet from hitting that semi head on when I spun and I looked into his eyes and thought I was gonna die. Luckily he swerved and missed but I fucked up my truck still

 

State Farm needs me to take it into a shop to get an estimate of the repair costs before any decisions can be made. But if its totaled I'm gonna put what ever I get back towards a 6-lug access cab

 

That really sucks. Atleast you're ok. Scary shit.

 

Was your tool box not bolted down?? That thing should not have come loose on you.

Glad you're OK, sucks about the truck!

 

he was a good car length or two which is why he had enough time to slow down and no he didn't stop but I'm fine didn't even bang my head against the steering wheel or anything and my back isn't sore at all

 

I just had a couple of j-bolts hooked into the rails on the side and and when the bed crumpled up it popped the one side off and flung it right out

 

DAMN...glad your okay. If the frame isn't tweeked they might want to repair it. Depends on the cost of the repair.

 

Wrecked my 5 lugger the other day as well. Got nailed by a freakin Prius.

 

Dude you're lucky it was a prius!

 

Ouch to both of you guys! Op, you're quite lucky, especially because you aren't hurting. Definitely could have been worse. And Stormtaco, I agree with Neverstuck- lucky it weren't nothing bigger!

 

So sorry that happened to you. But, it looks like cosmetic damage....hopefully insurance can handle it (if you have it, i don't know). Looks like the only place the frame could be tweeked at all would be the driver's side rear when the bumper got hit and i think that could be fixed. Best of luck, hope you're alright.

 

I'm not that worried about it I wasn't hurt at all but it would have been nice if he would have stopped but oh well that's life I guess and I'm going in to the shop this week for an estimate but the insurance guys said other than my $500 deductable it should all be covered

 

A damn Prius did that? And even more shocking, it's totaled? It looks like it needs a new door, two fenders, and some work on the cab. I got hit by a drunk a guy in a 2002 Mercedes and the damage to my 2010 Tacoma was less than $3,000. I needed a new left rear fender and a new rear bumper. The drunk's Mercedes was totaled.
