Help I sunk my Toyota Tacoma

So what did they offer to pay vs. bluebook on thr truck?
What did you tell them happened? Did you show them that pic of the truck in the water?

 

I hope he told them the truth if he is posting pics on the intertubes.

 

Probably a sign that you should stick to paved roads in the future. LMAO

 

You guys know that insurance doesn't care what you were doing as long as it wasn't grossly negligent. To be honest, driving through a creek that didn't appear deep isn't a big deal to get coverage on from any reputable company. I know of someone who smacked a concrete barrier offroad, broke their a arms, twisted the frame, had the truck dragged out for miles by some helpers, tried to get it fixed himself, and insurance still paid out... Basically as long as you didn't intentionally drown it, as in take it into that puddle with the mindset you were just getting a good trade in value, you will get paid out.

Accidents offroad happen. I just bent my drivers side spindle something fierce on a fairly innocent hill climb gone wrong. It happens.

 

But did you have it fixed with insurance?

 

Just kidding!

 

Damn. That's an expensive lesson learned.

 

Nope. If I tore off the a arms and bent the frame though I would of had it bought out. I get your point though .

 

'Tacoma fought the creek and the creek won'

meh, let your insurance deal with it.

 

Sorry to hear about your Tacoma taking the plunge.

On a side note, a few thousand years ago they invented these things that help to cross small bodies of water without getting wet.

 

I've seen one of them before

 

They gave 24k plus tt&l roughly 26k there was never an intention to do it on purpose. Hell I wanted to keep it, and am actively looking for another 1 and they aren't easy to find! I searched for 6 months to find this 1 so no I don't like looking for a specific vehicle for so long and I will miss the 2nd half of deer season to boot.

 

Like I said earlier I have crossed in that exact spot many times hard bottom never thought it was that deep!

 

I bet you say that to all the ladies.

 

lol

 

Nah...My truck rarely sees anything other than pavement or dry dirt roads. I have a Yamaha Waverunner for creeks like that.

 

And I have a fast truck, so I was looking to get this one off road beast ready, but never got a chance.

 

Don't attempt t skip your truck over a creek again. It won't work.

 

This guy did it...
